Why I have a problem with the new ranked matchmaking

The biggest issue I see is that allowing pre-mades makes it so that any semblance of balanced games are gone. When you take any amount of people from 3 divisions and pair them up it creats problems in matchmaking. For example: A pre made team of 4 might have a silver 4, silver 1, plat 2, and a gold 4. Then you the gold 2 solo player get thrown in the mix and suddenly get thrown in a lane against a plat. You as a solo player have to choose between terrible matchmaking that you did not sign up for or dodge and lose lp. We really either need to reconsider groups in ranked or we need a ability to opt out of games with groups of people at the cost of extended queue times. I personally would rather have a balanced game and have to wait then be thrown in a sketchy game.

i think you all have to be between one section of each other. for example the plat cant join that lobby because 2 of its members are lower then gold, or the silvers cant join cause a member is above gold ETC. just like now plat cant duo with silver and vice versa.

The requirement that you can only queue with players up to 1 tier difference will still apply. Plats and Silvers still can't be in a premade for Ranked. And their MMR will be averaged as always, so even if you have a low Silver and a high Gold (of average MMR for their division) they'll be considered something like a high Silver or low Gold; basically, even in the most extreme cases the difference is negligible.
