Ranked Matchmaking makes no sense
So I was placed in Iron 3....but I play with and against silver teams. This makes 0 sense, if you place me in iron you should let me play with Iron players.

They "fixed" the ranked system. In standard RIOT fashion.
The actual broken portion is the MMR.... Always has been, with zero explanation. Claims it ranks you with people close to your MMR. If you start to win a bunch in a row it places you against higher MMR people to "balance the game" making it even harder to climb up to the rank the game feels you should be in. On the opposite side, you climb too high in the ranking, game decides you shouldn't be there, and handicaps your LP gain so you essentially have to win 3 games for every loss to break even effectively forcing you down the rankings to where it deems you should be lol. It literally doesn't make any sense. If you have a ranked system based on points for wins and losses, why even bother with the secret mmr ranking system that handicaps you for doing well?
Not to mention they have this whole system at the start of the season that you earn a rank in but "Will recieve bonus points to help get you to where you should actually be ranked"... If you have a system that knows where someone should actually be ranked, why not just use that? Otherwise higher level players are starting off ruining the low ranked players games... I just don't understand any of the logic behind this lol.
But don't you want to get better?
People have quit. Not enough players left in this game.
