Please remove the MMR matchmaking system. Place people accordingly to their rank.

This is what happens when I queue up for a game. http://i.imgur.com/ZtDgXmb.png?2 As you can see, I have two unranked people on my team. The Kha'zix almost exclusively plays ARAM and this is his first ranked game this season. Similarly, this is Zyra's second game of ranked this season as well. However, on their side, they have two gold 5s, two silver 3s, and one gold 4. Their team is clearly superior.

Why does Riot allow this bullshit?

Furthermore, the Lux afked at around 20-25 minutes into the game. We actually stood a winning chance if the Lux had not left the game (Also, keeping this in mind, I would really like riot to add a system for reporting/honoring people after a game, as I forgot to report Lux that game).

Keeping this in mind, I would like Riot to remove priority from their new client, as I'm pretty sure many players prefer the old one and also it seems to be the biggest reason work in other areas have not been done. They could then focus more on improving matchmaking to create more balanced games and also make more efficient queuing systems to reduce the need of autofill. The new client seems to be eating away much of riot's time. So far though, I've been sticking to the old client and have not yet switched to the new client, but I would still appreciate it if Riot would spend less time on the client. Especially since although the new client is gorgeous and good-looking, but is also clunky and things are hard to find.

The MMR spread is too wide. I'd rather increase queue times. If Flex Queue was removed, queue times would be 2x faster and higher quality games would ensue. Of course though, some people like Flex Queue even in a ranked system so that's not likely to happen. Personally, I'm annoyed Flex games are mixed in with my Solo stats and don't care for it.

Looks like those unranked people are doing well in the placements so far, so raging about their unranked status (or play habits) doesn't really do you any good. This is the funny thing about the ranked system--people just assume that unranked = bad, but that's not always the case. Basically, this match had a fairly wide spread overall, but the teams are relatively equal.

Edit: They are a duo. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=311 They are 1W/2L and approximately Silver 2 (after the game you lose with them, where they were 1/1 before hand, so their MMR was a little higher).

Sometimes playing against higher skilled players makes you learn something new

You are Gold 5, that is about 1520 MMR. Silver 1 is about 1480~ MMR. Those two unranked players are doing placements. They are probably at 1480-1530 MMR. The enemy team has a team filled with guys at 1480-1500ish MMR and the guy in Gold 4 is probably on his way out. There you go, you got matched perfectly.

Their team is clearly superior.

How about you never use op.gg or lolnexus. This will improve your mindset so that you don't give up before the game starts.
