Rufo.3716 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I recently got handed a 0-9 streak a few days ago after going on a pretty good run. I really wish you could see MMR of players in the match, at least after the game. No way my teammates were on par with the other team's players. I'm in gold and I was with players who were running around like chickens with their heads cut off doing nothing. That and the toxicity of players just about got me to quit the game completely. And the funny thing is it's the worst players on the team that rage and think they know how to play the game. They say that games like this are rare but I have a 0-9 streak that begs to differ. Even though average MMR might be close skill level was obviously not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the funny thing is it's the worst players on the team that rage and think they know how to play the game. Tell me about it. People are crazy, and think they know everything that's happening.One match, I had a guy say, "Thief, decap Far!"I'm thinking, "Dude, I'm at Far, and I've got three enemies all over me!"Another match, a Guardian said, "Thief, it's your job to fight the Deadeye. He's killing us!" as he chases the Deadeye around the borders of the map leaving us undermanned at Mid.I'm like, "Dude, I've already downed him twice and killed him once within the first 3 minutes of the match."Yet another match, I get a Necro saying, "We got a bad Thief. He won't decap."Once again, I'm having to point out, "Dude, I can't decap Far if you keep leaving the Mid fight to decap Far yourself, taking enemies to Far with you. And I can't hold Mid by myself after you leave."What's really bad is when you get stuck with those toxic players for several games in a row... as in the cases of the Guardian and Necromancer above. I've literally blocked half of my teammates on some matches because all they do is throw out insults.It's like everybody except actual Thieves know how to play Thief properly.It's also sad that I've had to make it a routine to outline my intentions before the match begins..."I'll work to keep Far decapped when possible, so let's focus Home and Mid.""Please don't abandon Mid after we win the fight. Let's hold it. I'll decap Far."Yet I still get random Warriors and Engineers who insist going Far at the start and throughout the match, which leads to losing the Mid fight and getting snowballed.And I still get entire teams who, after winning the initial Mid fight, split off to 4 different directions of the map, leaving Mid completely open, and leaving my poor Thief with no "smart" play to make.However, the one thing you can always count on... IT'S ALWAYS THE THIEF'S FAULT!!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another factor is that even having God of PvP title or Best of the Best or any top 250 title, the game won't consider it, only the rating. So, the low population added to this fact causes this unbalanced matches. Naru shouldn't have 16XX rating because, normally, he should be around legendary rating but no one can climb that high on NA playing more than 120 matches. This way, independent on how good or bad you are, with a 16XX rating you can easily get queued with a gold or a little higher rated player.

It's spread accross all ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
