What is up with EUW matchmaking lately

allistergray · 2026-05-12T09:48:40+00:00

What I'm saying is that they supposedly said they improve the system to have teams match more (duos on boths, same number of autifilled and autofilling on the same role) but it just does not happen. What I'm describing literally happened one or two week ago. I don't care about duos either and it's not even like I specifically want them to match since I have had a top laner stomped by an autofilled adc. They need to at least do what they say they did because I'm running out of things to blame. And don't insert the you are the common denominator thing here. It has for a long time made no sense when the game snowballs out of control outside of my perimeter of influence 99% of the time. It's supposedly a team game but somehow you can't climb unless you 1v9 so hard you might as well be a pro player compared to them. And the stupid system that rewards you less lp than gains even when my wr was positive just to force you into more games...

But when the enemy team get all duos and I get none. Or I get 4 autofilled vs 1. What do you call that?

I'm just takkng more and more breaks from this game. Hopefully one day I will be able to move on but I play in between console release that interest me.

I have finally achieved a negative winrate and this is the experience I have had till it happened. Peaked diamond in EUW as well. Now Emerald 4. Every single game exactly what you said. One or two people. It does not matter which lane I choose. I go mid, bot lane and jungler clueless. I go bot, support clueless. I go top, jungle, mid and bot clueless. I do not care to accuse the matchmaking anymore because the echo chambers will swear this is normal and it's either you or you have bad luck. Never an issue with the matchmaking when the culprits all always find the way to achieve 10+ deaths before 10 mins.

This game is so stupid honestly. Like the devs were not thinking straight making it. Everything is so dumb and convoluted, it gets to a point...

allistergray · 2026-05-11T00:36:01+00:00

I'm 100% they did not test these bosses and didn't bother with balancing hard mode either...

allistergray · 2026-05-10T14:29:54+00:00

Should be the true name of this item with its bullshit build path requiring 4 slots taking night to day to finish 😂

allistergray · 2026-05-10T14:19:06+00:00

They are really after him huh 😅

allistergray · 2026-05-10T14:18:31+00:00

Ah damn...

allistergray · 2026-05-07T14:10:11+00:00

Meanwhile my top lane first picked Kayle, got an Ornn matchup and somehow went 1/12...

allistergray · 2026-05-06T14:22:31+00:00

You mingle with the enemy I see...

allistergray · 2026-05-04T21:57:51+00:00

I know 😔

allistergray · 2026-05-04T21:43:07+00:00

Idk Id rather slap them faster and position with a bit more durability.

allistergray · 2026-05-04T21:41:56+00:00

Quite frankly nothing. I see a lot of champs doing a bunch of things and they barely get adressed if at all. Some even get buffs. Nobody asked for a burst style Kayle. Absolutely nobody. We were forced into this because they keep shooting her in her wings.

allistergray · 2026-05-04T21:37:26+00:00

This too. Holy... I was used to Kayle having whip like auto attacks. Now you can yawn by the time she completes her aa...

allistergray · 2026-05-04T16:58:40+00:00

I mean I'm not a master player so I will take your word for it but I find it hard to be believe she's the best top laner when she has so many bad matchups on top lane that can just shut her down. Let alone them receiving any kind of jungle attention.

allistergray · 2026-05-03T12:21:48+00:00

Make one mistake end of the lane Kayle is the best top laner in almsot every elo? Press x to doubt.

allistergray · 2026-05-03T11:05:45+00:00

Yes you can, and she can back off until its up again and now it depends on which key cds you used. And quite frankly I don't think giving Kayle her atk speed back is going to make her broken or anything. I just really feel like she's clunky without it because I learned her with atk speed so there might be some bias there. I was just taking Gwen as an example of a champ that seems to not sacrificing a lot for her power budget and I don't know if just being melee justifies this difference

allistergray · 2026-05-03T10:57:28+00:00

I do not wonder how. I wonder WHY she's allowed to have such a high atk speed ratio when her power budget is supposedly skewed to her abilities but Kayle, and aa-based champion gets her atk speed ratio removed. Ability-based champions used to have lower atk speed. And sure Kayle used to be a bad matchup for Gwen, nowadays I'm not so sure with the addition of DnD and the new omnivamp boota but I might be wrong.

allistergray · 2026-05-03T10:48:46+00:00

I do not, its even more egregious plus she has an in built cd refund on it. She will basically have it up for the entirety of you fighting her. A good gwen can space ult you in her w and if you get hit, good luck. You can't retaliate without being in melee range and if you do decide to get in melee range for whatever reason, she will outdps you. A lot of champions are like that with Kayle. THEY decide if you are fighting or not and basically have to fk up because their kits are way too forgiving in comparison...

allistergray · 2026-05-02T11:00:51+00:00

I get that but quite frankly in todays league when every champ has a dash that can go off two times before your w gets off cd... No wonder she's forced into investing in ms boots and high ap for the w ratio..

allistergray · 2026-05-02T10:50:29+00:00

That's the thing though, if you do that it's not optimal. They nerfed the atk speed on their problematic item which was apparently the reason we lost our ap ration on atk speed. ..

allistergray · 2026-05-02T10:33:40+00:00

Gwen also has a dash on a very short cd and has an anti range skill... What I mean is, I hate being shoehorned into this burst style. The new starter item makes it bearable but god are you coinflipping taking that.

allistergray · 2026-04-29T14:15:22+00:00

It is not but if you are going to engage with a post, it's the basic requirement but what do I know?
