I think that falls under "rigging your matches in your favor."

You can choose who to play with. As for who you play against, I want you to seriously consider that question for a minute, and think of how many different ways that could be abused.

But would you not be able to make matches weighted heavily in your favor gain you much much less MMR/LP? I would think Riot could do that.

I don't see how. If you choose who to play against, and they're far inferior to your skill, you would simply earn such little MMR/LP for a win that it wouldn't be worth the time. And if you lost, you would lose a WHOOOOOOOOOLE lot more.

It's exactly like duo queueing, only more specific.

If you tried to stack your enemies with bads, you would gain 1 or 0 LP/MMR for a win.

"Oh boy it's time for my series to move up a tier. I guess I'll just play with these Platinum players and my opponents will be Gold III."

Why do we HAVE to have series games in order to move up? We did fine without them in s2.

Because everybody complained about how Elo was an unfair measurement of skill. (Granted it wasn't the best system for a team game.) So they decided to come up with a new system. The one we currently use.

I think it'd be perfect if they'd just tweak MMR to be a little more forgiving once you hit Tier I. Hitting 90 LP then getting 1-3 LP per win and losing like 8-10 per loss is pretty discouraging.
