You guys must have had really high MMR as a team. But yes, I do agree that even if your MMR is extremely high pairing a bronze with a plat isn't fair at all.

Most of the time it doesn't really seem productive on either side. Most people are playing to learn and get better or to have fun. Either way, a _good _game is required to do so, and a stomp is demoralizing for the losing team and doesn't do a whole lot for the winning team (unless they're insecure).

I also have to say that it goes the other way around, too. The group of friends that I play with are all plat, and in ranked 5's we'll often play against diamonds and have had some master/challenger semi-popular streamers. It's not as big of a difference from plat to diamond as bronze to plat, so I can't really fit in your shoes. However, I would agree that ranked team matchmaking needs to be looked at. (And normals, for that matter.)

The only thing that I could say is maybe stream/record your game and watch the VOD later. See what they did to win, such as champions/team comp, harassing and trading in lane, lane-phase roaming, itemization, teamfights, and objective control/rotations. If your games are lost quickly, then focus more on the early game stuff, and then how the enemy kept their lead / suffocated you.

it wasnt an all plat team.. it was a: unranked gold plat diamond diamond

please sir.. get your facts right.

Wait, they had two diamonds?

Wtf, isn't that even worse?

EDIT: Joking aside.

This isn't the first time this has happened. For the longest time, queuing up as 5 for normal games throws us against some of the most skewed match ups ever. I'm really only complaining now because it's starting to creep into our ranked games.

yeah.. i looked up the team match closest to the post when it got posted.. it seemed like a ruff game.. the one before that was season 5 / season 4 unranked / unranked unranked / gold silver / silver gold / plat plat / diamond

yeah.. i read the forums .. then look people up to figure out what skill level they are ... and also to see how their story with facts of skill level play into it.

but when you do 5v5 with a new team you start low and have to go thru people first..

But if you're teamed up you have better teamwork so you should be able to beat the plats!

....and since this is the internet, I will now tell you this is sarcasm, making fun of Riots "LOGIC".

I've been on this account before and played with a level 10 trying to teach him, and got matched with a Silver 3. I'm Bronze 4 and had a level 10 with me.

The ranked team system is completely fucked because of this crap. Getting 75 wins a season while being constantly beat down by people multiple tiers above you is not a whole lot of fun.

Ranked Teams have different elo then solo queue... This is a huge issue only because of the lack of ranked teams.

Watch all the comments somehow justify the shitty nonsensical matchmaking.

how long was your wait? it could just be a matter of there not being many 5 mans queued up when you did

Very few people played ranked tes frequently vs Solo Queue , so since the lack of players the difference in skill can be quite high sometimes. It also really doesn't take into consideration your ranks that much since your team gets its own Eli by playing together so after like 20-30 games it should match you up with relatively similar teams.

Matchmaking broken? Is this the LoL forums? Ah, yes, it is. Working as intended.

I'm unranked. In fact, I just got to level 30 few days ago. My teammates are gold, plat, and diamond.

Pls, pair me with bronzes and silvers, so I actually have an impact in my games.

Cuz ur too good you deserve challenjour

LordKentravyon1 votes

Is this ranked or solo's?

If solo's yea that is a bid odd must be an mmr thing.

For ranked teams however you will often see opponents with much higher solo ranks then their team ranks, just comes from how diverse the team can be, and how some people just don't do as well in ranked 5s nothing unusual there,
