So why are there platinums and diamonds in my Ranked games all of the sudden?

I don't know. Maybe our total MMR's may be the same, but I can't help but feel I'd enjoy a game where everyone is at the same level rather than this wildly inconsistent curve of skill level that somehow manage to even out in both team.

Ranked or normals? Because after you place into a ranked league those 2 MMRs are competely void of each other. They don't have any interaction. So if someone stopped playing normals at a low silver lvl and made it into plat or dia in ranked they would still be playing at that silver normals lvl whenever they que up.

Both actually. Although with Normals it's always been this screwy and I never minded.

WIth the reset MMRs are all funky and out of whack. SO either they were carried there or they are just there for the time being after a bad streak.

Their bad streaks are giving me bad streaks!

Even when I win a game lately, it feels like it's won in a very messy and out of character way. Like how I do completely shit but our entire team was carried by a single platinum player.

Or when we lose, it's because of a match-up in another lane between two players who are clearly not meant to be laning against each other.

Since the mmr reset, Riot doesn't see players as platinum or diamond. We're all equal in their eyes! :D (Give it a month or two and the mmr will rebalance as the skilled separate from the not-so-skilled)
