Terrible Matchmaking

So from last season my team:

Team mmr: 1056 Top: Trundle <------me last season finished gold 3. finished game 2-3-0 Jungle: Zac finished last season Bronze 0-6-1 Mid: Yasuo finished last season Bronze 1-9-1 adc: Kalista finished last season Bronze 2-6-2 support: Lulu last season unranked. 1-6-2

Enemy team mmr: 1316

Top: MonkeyKing last season Bronze 7-2-7 (didn't kill me until after he was fed from kills. Killed my allies who chased enemy lucian to the inner turret while outer turret up.) jungle: Warwick last season Bronze 4-0-1 Mid: Lucian last season Platinum 16-0-4 ADC: Ashe last season bronze 3-1-5 support: Leona last season gold. 0-3-8

Seriously what the fuck Riot. How on Earth is this even remotely fair. I smashed in my lane. I had 80 cs on my laner. He never killed me before 20 minutes....maybe 25. I tped bot to take first turret. I made plays that isn't a bronze mentality. I bought items when the game started going awry that could keep us in the game. But my teammates keep charging into them over and over expecting something different. Now what the fuck is wrong with this picture. Why is there a 300 mmr difference between our teams?! Fuck you Riot.

I like the part where you didn't mention that this was ranked Flex Queue and you are using those players' solo queue ranks.

Yet, there are people who insist that matchmaking doesn't try to flatten your win rate to 49% and doesn't try to keep you at whatever MMR it thinks you "belong" at no matter how well you play by creating matches that you can't possibly win. It's certainly more egregious when this happens in solo queue, however. Flex is just the same mess we had with dynamic queue last season all over again.
