Preseason update (6.22): Unfair match making.

Bananastreet·Nov 20, 2016·2 votes·426 views

Since this update for the pre-season, my games seems to be getting more and more unbalanced, was wondering if anyone noticed the change?

Recently I'll have a team a new players (not even level 30) and be playing against like high gold, low platinum players. It just seems to be getting worse?

My rank after the season is silver v and I either solo queue or duo with someone with the same rank as me.

I'll update with more images of unfair games in the future as the games happen.

if you can't beat plats you don't deserve gold

We don't want to be gold. We just want fair games. I have the same problem as he has. I'm a silver 2 player who didn't play for 2 months and most of the normal games I play, I get teamed with or against platinum players in my normal games. I don't get why. Why does the difference in skill has to be that big in a game? I understand it gets compensated because you get some platinum players in your own team as well. But as a top or mid laner you still have to lane against thes platinum players. Yeah sure we can get carried by our own plat players but that's far from fun. It would be much better if skill of all individual players would be much closer. Why not make silver players get placed in games with like max the skill of gold II players. Don't make the skill difference between individual players that big. Many players like me don't want to spend that much time getting better in something like a computer game, but just want fair/close games that they enjoy. Last 6 games I played the loading screen was full of platinum banners...

It's only since 6.22 I realised this, before I didn't have the feeling the skill difference was that big so often. Possible something has changed in the matchmaking algorithm? I usually have a queue time of 1 min 30. I would rather have longer queue times of 5-7 mins and have a game I enjoy instead of these short queue times and frustrating games.
