The game was a 4v5 after round 2. And a 3v5 after round 4.
We lost 3-13.
KDA was 18-13-6, 383 Combat score, lead the entire board.
Lost 25 rating.
I thought they were fixing AFK and point loss? Seriously, this game really doesn't care about the time of its players.
In a 3v5 for 90% of the game, The other team should win easy. Since the Matchmaking was broken in this case, just END the game. Give them very little. Take VERY little away from the losers. Allow both of them to get into a meaningful and winnable game.
Such an easy solution, especially in the lower ranks (Plat and below) where these issues continue to be rampant after 3 acts and Riots continues do basically do nothing - or at least nothing visible or tangible.
It's frustrating. To use a disgusting anology its like when battered partners stay with their assailants. There is a little bit of good in there, deep down, but the festering rot of how they treat you can't be overlooked.
Start caring about the time and energy players commit to your game. Find real solutions, faster. You are not hurting anything by toning down the kick in the crotch (MMR loss) after you slog through 40 minutes of complete unfun 3v5 gameplay only to see your rank go down harder than the 11-13 match.

How prevalent is smurfing? I am trying out the game today and in all my 3 games we lose with an opponent player getting between 35-37 kills. This is not fun for me.
