WHAT THE FUCK IS MATCH MAKING?

I'm in bronze 5 I queued up for a game and somehow ended up playing against a diamond 5. WHAT THE FUCK! how is that even remotely fair, and how am i meant to enjoy myself when I'm getting shit on by someone who's over 15 ranks higher than I am. RIOT WTF? my team had 2 silver 2 bronze (including myself) and an unranked, the other team had a Diamond 5, 2 silvers and 2 unranked. I usually try to not pay attention to ranks but when there's a discrepancy this massive it's kind of hard to ignore at the end of the match lee sin had 3/5 kills...3/5. how the fuck am I supposed to do anything to someone who's that much better than me. our team didn't secure a single objective the whole game and just slowly lost, it was demoralizing, annoying and all around a shitty time. When can we a matchmaking system that's actually balanced and not just randomly put together by satan's nephew. I think a 3-year-old would be able to make more equal matches just by matching the colours of the different ranks.

this is because ranked mmr doesnt influence the mmr of normal games. that d5 player (also known as the isle of wood 5), probably doesnt play normals over the course of the season and only climbs in ranked games.

he qued up for a normal, and got matched with people at the same normal mmr as him.

the second possibility is that he might also just have been boosted in season 6 via dynamic que and was actually a bronze player. diamond 5 is usually where the boosters end, because anything higher becomes too expensive for the people who pay for boosts.

the division is known for being toxic trash.

I see. I had no idea there was a boosted elo hell in D5. I guess that makes sense just really pisses me off because they were clearly above our skill level.
