[2022] Addictive matchmaking designed for keeping higher player counts

I went on a huge 20+ game win streak in Gold smooth sailing no extreme trolls.

Then suddenly every game I have inters, AFKers, or troll picks like first game ashe ever going top or teemo support. I check match history and everyone else on my team is on a lose streak with negative winrates and the enemy team is all on huge win streaks with high winrate. The last three games have been against junglers with 100% win rate on enemy team.

It really feels like winners / losers queue is real with matchmaking designed to force you into either a win streak or lose streak likely to maximize engagement and make the game more addicting for higher player counts. Here is a UCLA study showing how this works to maximize player engagement: http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~yzsun/papers/WWW17Chen_EOMM

What can I do when I’m being matched game after game with lose streak trolls against smurfs? Wait until EOMM decides I’m in winners queue again?
