ID 40567908: A huge difference in elo in this game. I try to believe that the system doesn’t do it on purpose, but how is it possible that all the best character of the patch are always on the same team? It doesn’t matter if I pick them during champion select, they never get chosen. However, Viktor, Billy, and Drifter are always together. I’d like to think it’s just a one-off game, but it happens more often than what’s considered pleasant
On the other hand, I don’t understand how this game even happened. I mean, the enemy team’s average elo is better than ours by almost 5 division levels. A completely uncompetitive match. This makes me wonder, if they’re not going to bother fixing the matchmaking, why not bring back a queue that’s not ranked? Because while on one side we have the tryhard with their main or the OP champion of the game, on the other side we have people who aren’t at their level of game knowledge being crushed. And just reading a few responses in this thread makes it clear that these aren’t isolated cases.
It’s even counterintuitive that the more players there are, the worse the matchmaking gets.That is, during the weekends, you can clearly notice a decline in the quality of the games. It makes me think this is clearly due to the abuse of the smurfing system or groups of friends playing with someone new, and from the matchmaking system’s perspective, it seems like that’s enough to downgrade the rank of that group to a much lower one, where they’re facing players who are noticeably below their level
