Matchmaking is random so it's completely unfair

Last champion select I had 3 people with a 4+ loss streak, and 1 person with 25% winrate last 20 games. I obv. dodged as I didn't wonna lose 17 lp.

However dodging doesn't solve the problem that is matchmaking.

If you don't wish to be matched with people of that skill level, then start playing above that skill level.

Considering that among the millions of players a 4+ loss streak, or a 25% winrate over the last 20 games - simply by chance and not as a result of their skill - is not unlikely to happen to a lot of people, who do you suggest they get matched with?

How does a streak or recent win rate measure skill?

This season I've had streaks of +7 and streaks of -10. My win rate over 20 games has ranged from 20% up to about 70%.

If my skill is the same, what difference does it make what my win rate is....in fact, you are probably better off with players on losing streaks (unless they are tilting or trying to lose) because they are probably actually better than where the matchmaker is putting them.

Their matchmaking is designed to keep you playing. Short answer stop playing this terrible game that doesnt care about a ranked system but has a ranked system.
