Riot removed leaverbuster and dropped me in with better players without warning

I complained that riot added me to leaver buster in spite of winning said match it occurred on, I complained on the forums about putting bad players in a special Olympics tier with two, 2, leaver buster joins left.

I joined today and noticed I didn't have to wait.

What proceeded was a beat down of epic proportions I was not expecting. I was blamed for being a bad player, but no one acknowledged that the top I was up against was actually good.

Reading between the lines tl;dr version, Riot removed leaverbuster and without warning put me up against good players and put me on a good team.

Thanks for the warning riot, my point still stands, but now I know you're dicks about your broken system.

Note duly taken and duly ignored, next time I'll be on guard. So if my team loses or wins, I won't have a bad k/d.

Fix. Your. System. Already.

No one of note plays this game anymore and videogamedunky is gone.

Clean house or fall into obscurity.

Trolling the playerbase this way is no way to do business.

Left for 3 years, thinking was a mistake to come back. Dunky was right then and he's right now.

I am aware that this is shill central so I probably won't respond to any comments, just be aware:

They removed me from leaverbuster and dropped me in a situation that was totally unexpected, which would have been fair if said matchmaking system didn't exist in the first place.

Just fix or scrap the system already.

Also I noticed you can't honor opponents anymore, which tells me a whole lot about where this game is going; you'll remove honor points so good players can't get them as much, but you won't fix the system that is the ROOT of the problem and then you'll do this crap.

The good, thank you for removing leaverbuster.

The bad, the matchmaking system. Again. Always. And now the new meta of dealing with c'thulu mods who read the forums but refuse, OR CAN'T, code another proper match making system.

Call me what you want, but let it be known, someone removed leaverbuster to try and give me a rage stroke.

On. F'ing. Guard. Now.

So, there's a couple flaws here.

  1. More than likely, your LeaverBuster was considered served. I believe they have finally fixed it so remakes and some dodges will count for serving it if you sat through the whole queue and got into lobby. They don't remove punishments unless they're bugged - so it's possible they removed it after seeing your account got bugged (some people for whatever reason have had the queue for 20 minutes but it taken them 36 minutes to actually enter matchmaking, for example).

  2. Nobody at Riot can edit an individual players' matchmaking, so your accusation there is absolutely false and you provide no proof of your supposed "facts".

Wait, are you being serious?

Your last game's opponents were all Bronze 4-5. You probably lost lane because, in a 33-minute match, you failed to complete a single item. I'm pretty sure that none of the items you purchased actually build together, either... You ended the game with Kindlegem, Tiamet, Zeal, Bami's, and Bramble. What?

You go 0/11 against a Bronze 5 player and you complain that they are too good? I have bad news if you want to climb...
