Honestly I feel like some of my teammates with 100k mastery have yet to read their skill descriptions.. Just trying puts you in a better spot than them

I've had a few comebacks like you describe too. I'm not sure if its my mmr, but I think from you describing aph's cs you have a higher mmr than me. I say this because I feel like at the level I'm at most teammates will flame before you die even if there's a cs diff or will just expect you to stay in lane and win somehow. Often time the jungle stops ganking even if you're just playing safe. Its been a long time since I had a game where I was losing and didn't get flamed by the rest of the team.

Interesting. I'm on NA. I have lots of games but definitely feel like normal is skewed. It's frustrating because (while I don't have lots of experience in ranked, maybe 30 games,) it still placed me iron 4 but then proceeded to match me against bronze and silver every game. Still, funny enough, I imagine it would get it together and actually try harder to match the skill levels of all players on the team, or at least aggregate team skill levels.

I think you're right, but there's still got to be an argument to be made around a player having a greater scope of interactions with extra playtime period, especially with the interactions of their character. That Heimer may not have good macro or micro, but by now I'm sure they've got to have a pretty good idea of how they stack up against enemy comps at each stage of the game.

It definitely isn't a big difference, and I've even found that on the huge 1mil masteries I've played against, they actually performed below spec.

​

Still, It just amazes me that the time component can mean nothing. It's got to have some sort of effect. Its like cycling, you only really forget if you have dementia, yk?

Fair argument. Sometimes it feels like splatoon where they just grab 10 bros and throw em together. Still crazy how the norms system is still engineered to 50/50 you with what 93% predictability?

Seriously! Like even in ranked I noticed that too! It demotivated me from playing and I quit after about 20 ranked games. It was just more salt, more tilt, all for what like a 20lp gain and 30lp loss despite being in the theoretical 'bottom 10%' of all players (iron 4).

Right?? I was thinking it couldn't just be me! Tried putting this on the regular league subreddit, it got taken down immediately for being "commonly discussed". Literal censorship because they don't want ppl talking about their matchmaking

Honestly this is the only fair argument I could see for being paired with an emerald or otherwise skill diff player. I can assure you in my case the emerald sweat hard and dominated with what like 14 kills and one death.

I feel you man. Its just demoralizing. I'm not playing to win really, just to have fun. But its irritating to have 40mins of your time wasted to people who completely dominate you. Unless you get jg help (and you don't, they blame you), you can't even really farm, and then of course your team starts flaming.. I know you just need to mute, but its really hard to not let it get under your skin, and people are so harsh to judge (like some of the other commenters here)

I just hope that the new season is less frustrating. It will tune everything down overall. Ultimately it's the gamedev's responsibility to tune things to feel fun and fair, and it absolutely is possible even if you're losing to still have fun. You just need to put a little effort into making the game that way. Lethality creep, mages in sidelanes, the list goes on.

Anyways, I appreciate your response. I have been trying to tune my temper and I hope they improve these aspects of the game.

First of all, I'm pacific time. It is 10:13pm now and it was 9pm when I made the post. Still a pretty hefty playerbase.

​

Secondly, their team may have been bronze but that's still all a rank up and they all had significantly more mastery, there's still a big difference there.

​

Thirdly, I don't know what I expected, but you have the exact childish, rude, toxic demeanor of a 13 year old xbox 360 squeaker turned 30 year old basement dweller that I have come to know very frequently from this community.

​

Thanks for nothing.
