Dynamic Queue needs better matchmaking
I doubt we will get Solo Queue back so I'm not here to complain about that. Riot pushed dynamic queue on us and says its better and has no intention of changing it back. I just wish that the way it matches players against and with one another made sense. Because I have had plenty of games where my team has been outmatched on every turn and when I have been far superior to the players I am matched against.
Like just a couple days ago I got matched against a team of 4 golds and 1 Platinum player. Their Platinum player was Platinum 4. My team consisted of 2 Bronze, 1 silver, 1 unranked and 1 platinum. My Platinum player was platinum 3 and I was the unranked player. Unranked is a wild card I know but even if I was platinum 3 too that's still a massive gap in competency of the two teams. I looked back and it was a 4 man queue on their team and my plat player was queued with my silver player. Everybody else was a solo queue. Needless to say we got stomped that game.
On the other end of the spectrum I was matched in a team full of silvers (nobody below silver 2) and again, I was the sole unranked guy. We get matched against 1 silver who was silver 5, 1 Bronze 3, 1 unranked and then 2 players who didn't even hit 30 yet. One of which wasn't even high enough to have a keystone. That's just... not fair. Every single person on my team was ranked higher than every single person on their team. The skill gap was massive yet again and the game was rigged from the start. And its not like those pre-30 players were queued with one of the ranked players on their team. They queued together and were on a 4 game losing streak. Why were they matched against players who were far more experienced than they were?
Riot, if you want to keep dynamic queue around, fine. But at least fix the matchmaking system to be closer.
