Is MMR broken right now?

The last few weeks I'm having games with Bronze, Silver and Gold in the same game.

Some games are insanely easy where it's clear the player needs more experience. Others it's like I'm going against plat smurfs (real ones... ).

I know there is a lot or reasons this could happen, from real smurfs to hot streaks... but there's a huge disparity between skill almost every game.

Hence, the question "Is MMR broken right now?"

Mmr is fine. The problem you are seeing is due to the ranks (I.e. the bronze/silver/gold) are not representative of either mmr or skill. The rank/lip system was made as a measure of achievement. That is why you can sometimes see differences between the players in game, all of the player have similar skill level as measured by mmr but not all of them have achieved the same over the course of the season.
