Smurfs, Trolls and Matchmaking (my opinions)

Idk about anyone else but lately ive been getting the absolute worst games ive had in the whole 6 years ive played this game. As stated above these are my opinions not facts im low elo and im not that good at the game so before someone goes in a comments about how im bad at the game blah blah blah i already know that lol but im trying to make the climb and holy crap in a hand basket nothing but one sided troll filled games for the past 2 weeks.

What is Riot Games doing about high elo players playing on low elo accounts and making smurfs? Are you guys doing anything about this? Also what is with this match making system? Ive been playing League since season 1 and never before have i been this unsatisfied with the work Riot has put out. Dont get me wrong i love this game and im going to continue playing it but at the same time i ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS GAME AND ITS ENTIRE COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!! I dont understand why i get 2 good games where both teams do well and a big play is the deciding factor then i get nothing but crap one sided games for either side. More often then not i get completely screwed with terrible teams and terrible communication, im also guilty of tilt and playing bad especially when someone decides to talk crap when i get caught out or stun locked and cant escape. With the final question why is it that recently smurfs have been is so many matches and the low elo match making is such crap putting in b5 trolls in with s5 and s1 in the mix i dont get this match making it makes the teams EXTREMELY unbalanced and ridiculous. Not to mention the times when ive been at the doorstep of the next rank and i get 2 other people in a series and one guy whos lost his past 4 games so he doesnt even try then tilts and feeds. Why dont you guys match us together in smaller brackets we have enough players. B3 to S4 shouldnt be that difficult to match up instead of the cursed b4 b2 s5 b5 b4 mix. This matchmaking system is disgustingly unbalanced and immensely frustrating. I am so unbelievably dissapointed in the product Riot has put out recently and i would love to at least hear some kind of feedback into whether or not you guys are even looking into the matchmaking system.

No? Elo hell doesnt exist. It's simply bad players who dont improve. Tons of videos about it. Tons of evidence that it's easy to get out of it if you are actually good. there is a reason good players can get to high elo on any account any time.

Not sure what you mean you want an answer. Yeah people can be idiots, the system is pretty good at punishing them quickly. the game is pretty snowbally also, so yeah games at all elos feel pretty one sided and over pretty quickly if you fall behind. Doesnt help that you are in low elo like you said yourself; lots of ragers in there and tbh it's a gong show, nobody really knows how to play properly so you need to expect the clown feista and learn to be better if you want to carry yourself out. Blaming low elo teammates for holding you back is retarded.

all these banned players just go buy a new account for 15 bucks and then you have endless waves of fresh smurfs in bronze.
