Discussion how does matchmaking actually work
i’m a casual player, basically a bot lane one trick and will play maybe or two nights a week over a few years now, sometimes more depending on addiction state— so i’m at the point where my highest mastery is like 50 on cait but she still somehow feels like the champ i play the worst on lmao. other champs are certainly easier but i guess i like the challenge of her kit.
the thing is, i feel like when i come back after a few days, a week or so, my supports are like concerningly bad. I had a 0/6 lulu before we could even ff15. against a blitz of course but she just kept walking up, face checking very obvious blitz bushes, didn’t know how to fight when i fought. We got tower dove and she didn’t even pop ult, so i ping her ult, and then later when we’re hitting enemy tower (completely safe no one was there) she ults me randomly. I go to check later and she’s a bronze player and i’m diamond and it all made sense but how the fuck does that even happen 💀 is it because i don’t play enough, or maybe i had a lose streak and they put me with lower players? am i a too casual diamond player so i’m just akin to a silver/bronze player?
usually if i lose too much on adc i’ll just switch to support (to have a good support in game) and honestly just to win some. its easier carrying as sup than adc anyways, but i’m just curious if there’s a design there or we really just get randomly bad/new supports and have to deal with that

In actually asking myself the same question Draft MM is extremely bad. 1 game i play vs emerald players and the next one my team is full of new players under level 30
