https://imgur.com/a/zxEeNJq Alright so riot how is this literally even possible. there is not a single world where a PLATINUM 4 PLAYER should be in a DIAMOND 3 GAME. Not to mention the fact that he literally has a 17% winrate so when u get him on ur team u already feel like the game is over. how does this matchmaking follow the intention that every game should have a 50/50 chance to win or lose. I know this thread is absolute hot garbage but can someone explain to me HOW and WHY.

Edit: changed the imgur link to not show any other names in case i would "shame" or something

Ok I think I know the reason for this. The last season this guy played was season 6. He was probably a bit higher than you in mrr/rank in season 6 and now that he's playing league again he's gonna be kind of trash for a little while. He's only had 12 games so he needs a few more games to used to league. That's why he has a 17% winrate. And that's also why he was put into your game.

I feel you. Had a bronze in a gold game. Feels like the playerbase is shrinking a bit.
