I know the 50% win rate isn’t real but it does feel like it sometimes.
Playing in a stack normally I have a ~53%+ win rate. Examples from the other night:
-
As soon as we go 4 stack instead of 5 we get matched with the worst players etc. The B3 that refuses to play anything but Chromie and lose ~150 points (ok they were favoured).
-
We get a Silver (They get all Diamonds, Plats and a Gold) who decides to ARAM all game and then flames us when he dies alone. Lose another ~190 point (ok they were favoured also I guess)
-
Go back to 5 stack. Proceed to win all the rest of the games.
While I know there isn’t a forced 50% win rate: How does the game know they would lose? Some days it certainly feels like it.
Side note: A couple of our regulars have decided to quit after those matches (and the amount of smurfs in ANZ).
