Does clamping still exist in a different light?
Ranked solo/duo queue summoners rift.
This is not another crybaby post, but rather a serious question. When riot said they eliminated clamping, it went away. But i can't help but notice that every time i climb a rank or have a large increase in mmr, i get stuck with trolls/feeders/afkers for a couple of game. Im assuming its their balancing system to keep everything fair for both teams but the fact still remains that i will see a zyra run into 1v4/5s all game and feed like crazy, the whole time not saying anything. Ive looked into these players match histories to see them dying like 10 and 12 times a game and they are on a steep decline of mmr. I know im only in gold 3 but i feel like i shouldnt see this kind of stuff anymore yet once in a while it occurs for like 4 games or so. Its rather annoying, but i am used to that kinda stuff by now. I dont mind playing with someone having a bad game or whatever, we all have them. But when they are toxic/trolly or they dont say a word all game and just feed like a robot, it agitates me, considering it is ranked and i wanna climb, i still play really well despite them, but its never enough because their carries are so fed. I feel like im losing too much mmr and being punished for progressing through a rank i clearly do not belong in. Thats just my opinion, like i said im not angry or throwing a tantrum, im just wondering if anyone else shares this experience. Perhaps even a way to combat it without being a challenger level player.
