Something is Very Wrong with SoloQueue Match-Making

Hello, everyone, my name's Sonder One (how do you do?)

So, I usually don't post on the forums; the last post I put on here was for advice on how to get out of Bronze. Since then, I've gotten out and am now Silver 3 and on the way up.

But.

Something odd has happened in the last ranked game I was just in and I believe there is an extremely detrimental bug in the match-making system. I'm not sure what happened exactly, it could've been a fluke, but for some odd reason, I was matched with a (and you can read this all for yourself in the link I've provided to my op.gg) Bronze 2, a Level 30, and a Level 27 (oddly enough) and they have never been ranked before. The only other person in Silver Tier was an Ekko that played in the mid lane; he was Silver 2.

The other team was comprised of two Silver 3s, a Silver 4, a Silver 2, and a Bronze 1. As you can probably tell, there is a definite skill deficit...Now, I'll admit, I did not perform my best that game, I went 0/6/5. Thing was, I was so astounded by my support's inadequacy that it kinda tilted me so I couldn't do my best at that point.

The point I'm trying to make is that that game was not balanced in the slightest. I don't know how it happened or why it happened, but I believe it's worth checking out. That was inexcusable, and I lost lp without a fighting chance. Please do respond.

Give it time, Last year was a disaster and there is a reason Dynamic Queue was removed for ranked. Alot of people have inflated or deflated mmr and are going to return to normal by late this year.

if i remember correctly, you cant play ranked unless you are level 30. so that j4 in your game couldnt have been level 27. his op.gg just may not have been updated since he was level 27. which does happen. we've all been there before. just a poorly matched game with a duo on your team, and one of them is still a fairly new player who doesnt quite understand the game at the level he should yet
