This is probably already heavily covered but I don't understand why the matchmaking system has a hard time balancing matches, especially blind pick.

It would seem to me that when it matches a team together it would use the average summoner level, the overall wins/losses of the combined team, and probably more but that would seem a good start. I don't know if they use that type of filter in the match making system or the system is just busted but there should rarely be any games that require a 20 minute surrender.

I've played about 200 games since I started playing like a month ago and if I had to guess less than 5% of these games were fairly matched and competitive. Almost always it's either a blow out on either side (seems mostly against my team). The blowouts are so bad that you find yourself wishing you could just reach for the reset button like they had on the old Nintendo System to start over because you know you're about to waste at least 20 minutes of your life.

The least they could do is add a mercy rule into the game where you can surrender at any point and time when you are down by 10 kills or more.

They also need to make it so majority rules on the surrender vote. All too often you get matched with a couple who joined the matchmaking queue together and they refuse to surrender so we lose a surrender vote because 2 of the 5 people voted against it, which is ridiculous.

I don't know if the matchmaking system uses average team level or not, but I think the more important metric is the win percentage of each summoner. Even if it was average level 30 against average level 30 but one team had a combined record of 1000 wins 500 losses verse 1000 wins and 2000 losses, that's severely mismatched even though the average level is the same.

This seems like something they should be doing or fixing the system in some way. They also should probably add in a CPU scan for each player and have players play each other with similar computer specs. I get tired of waiting for 15 minutes for someone to load into game, I have a fast computer for a reason. It would make more sense to let all the players that take 5 minutes to load to all play together so no one is waiting extra time. I have enough time to cook breakfast on some of these loads.
