It's not just you. Every game i've played this season has been a complete stomp based on massively differing skills. Rito needs to fix their matchmaking ASAP or I'm gonna quit tbh

Because you are better than you think and those silvers are worse than what their ranks require. They are coming down and you are going up in skill. The more you play with better players, the better you get. That's what "climbing" is. You don't learn by playing with players at the same skill level as yours. You learn by playing with better players and getting to their skill level in time.

Low bronze and low silver isn't much different. It does this across all ranks based around your MMR not thw actual ranking listed. If you see what Ive seen where you could have a bronze 4 in a gold 4 game, now thats something wrong as they should be way too far apart.

Gotta remember though, Riot is a small indie company. What do you expect them to do? Make a good game?

I know right? It's like Rito forgot that it's a team game and you're not just fighting the same person all game.

Because its skill level in that role. Sure you might be against higher level players, but those players may be your level when playing the role that they're doing in that game.

Since they announced that they were working on changes with ranked I knew they will mess it up. I expected that they will make the matchmaking system even worse. I haven't played ranked because of that and I'm not sure that I will play unless they revert or fix it. They really want to change, but I don't see it in a positive direction.
