I play a few games here and there and play ranked to take the game seriously for a bit. I don’t play often enough but want the competitive edge.
I just don’t see how I’m Silver 3 but I’m allowed to be matched with players who are Platinum 4. I play bad a lot, I don’t take the game super serious, I just want to play a balanced and competitive game, and it feels like every game I enter is decided before I start playing. Of course, it’s not every game, and sometimes I have the Platinum players on my team, but it feels cheap to win that game because I didn’t do much to contribute. How can I have a lineup of S1, S4, unranked, S3, G4 and be against P4, G4, G4, G2, G2.
Our picks aren’t great, our play isn’t great. Yes. But all of it is affected by us being disadvantaged by them merely making it to their rank in the first place. I’m Silver, I know I can’t always play vs Silver players but it’s quite clear I belong here after 50 games. Why do I always get slotted in to the games that are above my level?
The unranked lv 46 is probably smurfing with 66% wr in g4. So that was why. And that game looked balanced in kills and damage.
The game does not matchmake on rank, but uses the hidden elo of each player, the exact rules are not shared by Riot.
