League has a huge matchmaking problem right now

Recent matchmaking changes have destroyed the quality of matches across queue types and across multiple servers. (at least NA, EU, and OCE) Games are no longer matching people properly based on their queue specific MMR which is resulting in games with huge skill level disparity within and between teams.

here's my original post noting the problems specifically in NA aram queue

and here's a few links with other people noticing the recent problems

A revert to the old matchmaking, which seemed to do a really good job most of the time, would be great. If not, can we please at least get official recognition that this is a serious problem?

Thanks

Your actual rank can be different than your MMR...
