Twisted Treeline Bug

Twisted Treeline ranked system sets diamond 3s team against Silver 3s team for promos. NEEDS BALANCING. Silver 3, consistently fight teams of ranked plat/diamonds almost every game, at least 3 out of 4, fix your motherfucking ranked system riot this is ridiculous. And we just had another against enemies who confirmed they were gold 1 and mid plat. so fuck off telling me I'm spreading false information. I know how MMR works but if Riot believes I should be ranked silver then I should face fucking silvers to prove myself gold, not face fucking golds and plats to try and creep out of mid-silver rankings. MMR is for normals, rankings are for ranked, it's a bad system. LoLKing showed that team as a diamond 3 ranked 3s player and two platinum ranked (in twisted treeline) players. If lolking is apparently just making shit up then my apologies

The Matchmaking system matches you with and against players of your MMR - disregarding rank as MMR is a more accurate assessment of a player's skill level.

The game you played ~5 hours ago (around the time of you submitting this post) you were matched with;

One Silver I TT Ranked player.
One Silver I TT / Gold 4 SR Ranked player.

You were matched against

Two Gold 5 TT Ranked players.
One Gold 3 TT Ranked player.

You were not matched with or against Platinum or Diamond players and I request that you do not spread false information regarding the matchmaking system.

This also isn't a bug.

One of your colleagues previously achieved Platinum tier and the other achieved Gold tier.

This is why you're being matched against Gold / Platinum players because your colleagues are raising the overall MMR of your team by a substantial amount.

As I stated previously, the matchmaking system matches you with and against players of your or your team's MMR. Rank does not matter when matching players. MMR is utilized for all maps / modes including ranked and it makes for a good system.

Had the matchmaking system been based on rank, you could be match with a Challenger smurf because they were placed Silver / Gold in the current season and you really wouldn't enjoy those matches.

I advise you to queue solo for ranked matches or with players who you know have not achieved Gold / Platinum previously. Doing this will decrease your team's MMR as you'd be matched with players with of your skill level resulting in facing opponents of your skill level and not of your colleagues'.

At least one of his opponents does appear to have been Diamond last season. Not sure if that's SR or TT rank though.

Regardless, ranked TT was changed from teams to flex just this season. Plus, it's still relatively early in the season. So, yeah, matchmaking's going to look especially wonky for a bit, despite (probably) working properly.
