My team: Gold, gold, silver, silver, unranked (no ranked history last season)
Their team: Gold, plat, plat, gold, silver
Oh and the Lux that loses to a Veigar in lane, where he goes and carries the game with his bullshit kit. Fun stuff.
Tell me about your fair matching system, Rito. I wanna hear it!
Treeofwar4 votesok lets say this you were on the other team and you got the veigar who carried you to victory. You probably would not have made this post in the first place.
Niyumi1 votesNo, I would still complain, because games just aren't fun when they're a total stomp -- no matter what direction that stomp is. And that's not even the point, the point is that their team was half plat, where my team was all silver with an unranked who had no clue.

the game is based off of mmr so that means you can be plat with silver mmr and bronze with plat mmr. There was a challenger who dodged every game after getting his border so his mmr stayed high but his ranked became that of a bronze. When he entered games everyone was diamond and challenger but he was bronze. Another instance of this is how nightblue3 was D5 and was in a challenger game. so just because they are silver and one is unranked does not mean the system is screwed up it just means they have high mmr and have won many many games in a row or faced many high elo players to gain that mmr. The teams are always balanced it may not seem like it but its true
ned the kled1 votesFun fact: you already had games like those and you didn't complain
Niyumi1 votesFun fact: I have. I don't always complain on the forums when something stupid happens, but I have posted about matching in a game where I won with little to no effort.
ned the kled1 votesShow me.
Prozzak1 votesWhat are you talking about? That game (assuming the one that ended 4 minutes before you posted this) had 2 bronze (actually unranked in flex but bronze in solo), 2 unranked and a silver player on the other team (can't say he is gold cause he is silver in ranked flex which is what you were playing so you can use this to judge).
No plat players on the other team.
Quepha1 votesFun fact: season 6 rank is not season 7 rank.
Your team was 5 unranked vs. 1 gold, 2 bronze, and 2 unranked. Note that "unranked" doesn't mean "bronze," it actually means "not yet ranked," as in they could be of any skill level.
Mysticman891 votesPeople need to be careful about queue types and what rank they're referring to.
It's quite possible for 5 players to be challenger in solo/duo ranked (with an mmr to match), bronze 5 in flex (with an mmr to match), and roughly the equivalent of silver 3 in normals mmr, and in every case if you looked at the wrong queues MMR, you'd find the matchmaking for them very confusing. And yet if you were careful and looked into it closely enough, you'd probably find that in every game they played, their teams average mmr for that queue was very similar to the enemy teams average mmr for that queue.
The fact that all 3 queue types have different mmrs, and further that mmrs aren't themselves visible tends to make for lots of "wtf how is this even remotely fair" moments, but barring huge match times, games are usually matchmade to be fair as far as the system knows. The on average part can also lead to some interesting matchups, especially if theres premades made up of a rather broad spectrum of elos.
