I'm a Gold 5, and I have another Gold 5, Gold 4, Gold 4, and a Gold 3 on my team against a Plat 5, Plat 5, Gold 2, Gold 2, and Gold 3? I really don't understand this is completely unfair.
Because those "high ELO" players have a bad MMR (match making rating). This means that they may be ranked Plat 5, but they are getting carried in those games and actually are playing on a Gold 5 or 4 level, hence high ELO low MMR.
Reverse, if you are a smurf in S2 but play at a plat level, your MMR will spike and you'll get tons of LP per win in order to quickly get you to your appropriate mmr.
Heres how: MMR
That's not even that bad. I'm unranked getting put against plats and gold. That's unfair and the game is decided before even champ select.
I'm sorry !
Its not even medium elo.
Medium elo starts at plat IV
the chances are that the plat 5 is boosted and his MMR is actually gold 4 or below.
When I was in silver 5, there were times when I was matched against gold 5 and gold 4s and I usually and easily beat them in lane if lane opponent, due to them being boosted
Because you don't understand how MMR works. You can be gold 5 with a gold 3 MMR. You can also be plat 5 with a gold 3 MMR. Like I'm gold 5, but my MMR is around gold 1-2
Because Rankings are just a pretty GUI protecting us from the scary numbers, and like loading bars and estimated download times rank numbers lie
