Matchmaking is BROKEN

Since Riot has decided to drop everyone's rank drastically from previous seasons (example: my main was Gold 3 last season and after going 9W 1L I was placed S4) maybe it would be a good idea to check last season rank as well when que'ing people together. Matchmaking has become a nightmare, I am currently getting tons of unranked players on my team and then I look at enemy team who are currently made of silver players this season but you look at S6 and low and behold......Gold-Plat....like freaking PLAT!! What is this?! Look at my team.....unranked or silver....why why is this?

Long story short, matchmaking is completely unbalanced (like most of this game). I play because I enjoy the game not so I can watch my team get steamrolled by higher elo players.

This is what im talking about. Does this even look REMOTELY even to anyone. So lets see first of all 5 silvers are going up to what it seems like 1 unranked 3 silver and a gold. But then look at last season. its THREE UNRANKED 1 silver 1 gold....enemy team has 3 silvers 1 gold and a freaking PLAT player. Really Rito freaking really. just guess how the game went.........NOT WELL!!!!!

well nothing changed after month...i still play rankeds and 85% of my games like... losing in 20minutes super hard or winning super hard. and 5% of my games i go like 3/8/5 happends. i actually count it (90games). and 15% of games like was able to win just did few bad decisions and lost. or won super hard... just you can't stop laughing then u are in gold4 promos and you have to win game > plat plat gold gold silver > (my team) > gold gold gold silver unranked. i counting about last season in lolnexus. first thing i did i wrote that we are playing against 2plats last season... lee sin :rank doesn't matter. we lost 25minutes. i was only with positive kda and not feeding or flaming support flamed jungler , jungler was crying mid bot losing super hard.... i don't want sound like crying kid about how not fair is that ,but i want game quality because now i understand in 5minutes will i lose or not.

Matchmaking is working as intended. Exactly as riot wants it to work, so it's not broken.

Other thing is that LoL's matchmaking is the biggest shit ever done.

Riot's matchmaking takes into account your progression when making the match, so if you have a very good progression, you.are.fucked.hard.

So yes, get your actual elo becomes, hence, in a big grinding. Isnt it good? everybody loves grinding, isnt it?

Btw, you cant do shit to counter that, you have to grind, period. My solution? I'm not willing to go through rigged matchmaking to get a shitty badge, so I installed dota2 and just play normals here every now and then. (btw, normals are even bigger fuckfest than ranked, but at least I have not the feeling of being scammed when I find myself in a totally unfair match, since we play "for fun" and not "for league points").
