Hmm. I do rage a lot less when I lose with my premade because they're not obnoxious like the randoms you get with solo queue. I was just really proud of my W:L and now it's embarrassing.

Haven't played him yet. He's the only champ I don't own at the moment. I just now have enough to buy him but I think I'll save for Olaf first. Malzahars seem to be good or really bad from what I've seen. Nothing over the top good, but definitely some over the top bads. He can do some early game odd burst damage though. Within a span of seconds all of a sudden you're at 1/4th from full.

Hmm. I did some forum browsing and it seems like I'm not the only one with a recent huge losing streak. People are complaining that with and without their premades, their W:L have plummeted with the last 2 patches which would coincide with my losing streaks as well. One guy used to be +120 wins and now he's at +50........

It just seems like my opponents are playing perfectly and know something that I don't, and my teammates (solo queuing or not) are back on newbie island.

I know W:L and wins overall doesn't mean you're low or high elo, but when I see someone with 100 wins in the same match of someone with 1000 wins, I can't help but wonder how their elos are similar.

I also think it's odd how MM works in general. It averages your elos together to make a match, but having a 1750 1750 1750 vs 1400 1850 1850 is NOT a fair fight even if the elo comes out to about the same on average. One guy complained about this and Zileas looked it up. Sure enough, there was 2 high elo people on one team paired with a much lower elo guy, but on average it was the same as the other team. Obviously the lower elo guy couldn't keep up and lost it for their team.

I find the whole averaging system to be a little unfair.

On a slightly different topic, another guy was complaining that he was better than his elo showed, but his shitty solo queue teammates were keeping him from rising. Zileas called him out on it and boosted him up to 2100 Elo as an experiment. After like 15 games the guy's elo had RISEN +15. Since then he's dropped to 2050 or so but he's still doing fine. A permanent elo boost to see if your teammates are holding you back..and they were.

What does THIS say about the MM system, particularly with solo queuing?
