  • This game matchmaking is ridiculous

Its been 2 years now that the game is out, and still 2 years after the problem of ranked is getting worse and worse. The experience on the game is totally ruined by the doubtful matchmaking. I can't spend a single evening on the game without playing against smurfs (gold players doing 40k in plat game). And if it is not the smurfs, it's the matchmaking, like we are 4 plats (between plat 1 and plat 3) and one gold 3, the game just randomly put us against a D3 with a silver 1 and 3 gold, obviously the D3 guy will do 40 kills and totally carry the game. This feels so wrong, the matchmaking is broken, do something about it !!!!! For the massive smurf problem, please do something instead of saying "We can't do nothing about it". Yes you can do something about it ! I have a simple proposition which will reduce by a big amount (at least 80%) of the smurfs. which is to make a Prime Matchmaking like in CSGO. You pay 5-10-15 bucks and you get a prime matchmaking with all other people who paid. Or you can even put this prime matchmaking with de battlepass, if you buy the battlepass you have acces to a prime matchmaking. Riot please do something. Your game is supposed to be competitive but with all these problems, especially smurfs, the game is not fun and balanced at all. I love this game but i can't have fun if i play all the time against immo players in gold plat. Please wake up, your game is dying.

Most likely those people are not smurfing.

There is something about this game that makes 1 person play very well in each mach. I have proven this, but using tracker to check the people I'm playing against. You can do the same.

Keep in mind, I'm only in Silver, and I've been stuck in Silver for the past 12 months (solo Q). But I realised that every game I play.. one person is on an abnormal amount of kills as compared to everyone else... so those people going 35 or 40k. Everyone else is down on 20 or below, including people on that person's team.

For a long time I was thinking.. this game is full of smurfs. A smurf in every game?? So I got smart and decided to check tracker and see what sort of numbers these people put up in other games. It's always the same story.... The person who is on 40 kills and destroys me everytime I see them, has just an average and many times bad K/D record in EVERY other game in their history. If you look at their history they give the view they are a terrible player, but this one game they are on 35/12.

So I dug deeper.. and I realised this happens to me. I will have average results for a while.. so usually somewhere between 10 - 20 kills per game, but I usually struggle to get over 20. But then I will have 1 game every now and then where my aim and hit detection feels insane. I'll be the 35 kill person, and people accusing me of being a smurf.

In conlusion... these people are not smurfing. The game either applies and RNG to one person every match, so that person can much more easily hit headshots and has huge hitboxes, OR there is some way the server is favoring 1 person above all others in terms of their connection TO the server. Ever get shot by someone and it feels like a 1 tap, but you see that you have been hit 3 body and 2 leg? But it's all over so fast, you hit the other person for 0? Yep.. this is what I'm talking about. THere is something suspicious about this game and the way duels play out. I've been onto this for a while now and I can tell you with 100% confidence that probably 90% of the 'smurfs' you refer to are not smurfs... just the server advantage or the RNG is on their side in that match.

You are not experiencing the same games as me, i play against players like "LikeMyAimbotV2" unranked who insta hs everybody, this is probably a good game too, cmon open your eyes.
