if I 1st a adc. and my teammate choose a unfavorable match up, go 0/7/0 in a couple of min. Niddale into Hec etc.. or when player choose not to tank knowing the enemy team has Leona garen, zac. etc Its my job to deal with all there bull shit and carry them or I lose LP? or when players don't take ranked serious and choose out of meta. I have to carry them or I lose LP even tho every game I fuckin hard carry? why am I always the one on my team with a brain? I know others feel this way. I have a 60% win rate. why am I matched with clowns who dnt care and only exist to lower my elo. I really dnt get? shouldn't I be matched with other player at my same win ratio/ skill? or am I missing somthing about matchmaking?

Why Do I lose Lp?

When you lose the game.

I have a 60% win rate.

That's way more than you need to steadily climb, and you should be happy with that. What are you expecting, a 100% win rate?

shouldn't I be matched with other player at my same win ratio/ skill?

You will be matched with people of roughly the same MMR. If you win a lot, it will match you against slightly tougher enemies to test you to see if you can still win. The system's goal is to get you at 50%.

Do you not have a single bad match in your history?

I dnt want 100% win rate, I want an actual game. if ppl are inting choosing stupid picks and feeding b4 the 1st 6 mins or players that just dnt care. it makes it 1000x more stupid. I jst want a match with players that are trolling. is that hard to ask for in ranked?

players that actually want to play ?

But you have a 60% win rate.

61% win rate overall. yes.

GatekeeperTDSOct 13, 20191 votes

That's damn good, and shit games are unfortunately going to happen. I know this isn't always easy, but focus on the 61% of good things that are happening to you instead of the 39% that aren't.

also in my promos for gold 4 why was I matched with a non ranked player, and then a Bronze player? Im silver fuckin 1 in promos why am I not matched with gold or silver players? I dnt get the point of gettin rank up if u keep gettin held back by ppl who care less about the game than you.

Exactly because you have a 60% winrate.

Think about what it means, to have a 60% winrate. If matchmaking tries to create fair games, where both sides have a 50% chance of winning, it is obviously still strongly underestimating you at this moment. So naturally, if it tries to put you into games with players of equal skill, it will almost definitely match you with (and against) people with lower skill than you. To you, those people might seems like they don't care.

All of that will change over time, of course. As Gatekeeper said, 60% is way more than you need to steadily climb. And as you climb your teammates (and your enemies) will become better. Eventually, when MM knows exactly where to put you, you'll win about 50% of your games. Only at that point can you expect your teammates to be on your level.
