Do you play solo and you think that you are always in the wrong team, and your teammates are not good ?And this, whatever is your elo ? That's true. You have less than 50% chances to be in the good team.

And i will explain to you why.

When Valorant try to make a matchmaking the system is searching for 10 players with even elo. Naturally, you have 50% chances to be in the right team if there is no premade at all in this matchmaking.

As everybody knows, a premade, whatever the number of players that it count, is supposed to win against a non-premade team.

For exemple, imagine there is 3 players in premade searching for a game at the same time than you. That means the system is looking for 7 other players, but only 2 players with them, then only 2 slots to be in the good team. That mean in this situation, you have 2 chances of 7 to be in the good team 1 chance of 3,5.(28,5%)

Even if there is only a premade of 2 which it will be less impact on the game of course, you have only 3 chances of 8 (37,5%) to be in the good team.

We can clearly think there is more matchmaking with premades than game with 10 solo players. Then even if on 20 games you got 19 games with non premade and 1 with premade at the end you have less chances to be in the good team.

If there is 2 premades with the same amount of players that count as non premade. And 2 premades with different amount you still have less chances to be in the good team as the slots are less important in the biggest premade.

At the end that means while playing solo you have more chances to lose. (at your elo)
