the indicator of good/bad matchmaking isn't your winrate, it's how close your games are. As for my last few games...hmm...skill wise I'd say they were pretty close, but they all ended up as stomps.

Winning all your games is just as indicative of shitty matchmaking as losing all your games.

i counted 7 rather one sided games in that streak

all 7 were played with our friend who had a relatively fresh account after switching over from League a few weeks ago, so I guess that explains that

Am I the only who doesn't really get why people like Ayesee at all?
I mean, he's a nice guy and a fine commentator but he's never really struck me as having charm like someone like Tobi had or being as knowledgable as the BTS guys, he's like just calmly pointing out what's going on and I don't remember myself ever thinking "ah, that's probally what happens, good call!" or "this guy makes the match have more value".

It's like his low tuned voice kinda just builds tension from time to time which he never really manages to release in a meaningful way, I ain't getting it >;(

(no reason to dislike him either, he just doesn't really have any charm that would make him better than a game without commentary)
