Black/White algorithm

Hey guys, sorry if this was ever answered, but for more than a week I've been having a serious issue with the black/white algortihm.

How do I play white? Just today I had 19 games as black in a row, yesterday my ratio was 84% of the games attempted as black, the day before 9 of 10 games, and so on. Of those games I play most is queens pawn opening, it has become so boring I get triggered by playing black constantly, I just abort games and get muted for hours. Is there something wrong with the algortihm, or how can I play white at least 50% of my games? Or at least 40%. Or even 25% would be fine. The whole fairness of the 1:1 ratio is gone on this platform.

I get so triggered by that stupid algorithm so much I throw the games away if I finally play white, or when my opponent plays queens pawn opening like 50% of the time. I want to get better, but I cant get any better by playing the same black-queens-pawn-opening at my level.

there's nothing wrong with the algorithm. it tries to balance your black and white games. aborted games don't count. if you abort your black games, it makes the algorithm want to give you even more black games. so just play.

theres nothing wrong with the algorythm, you just need to stop cancelling games when you are black.

edit: its 88x white, 73x black currently out of the rated games you played.
