Matchmaker isn't fair. Yes, both teams have the same MMR but that doesn't mean the teams are fair. Here is an example from my plat promos:

Team A = 100 Top = 20 Mid = 15 (gold 3) Jun = 20 Bot = 20 Sup = 25

Team B = 100 Top = 20 Mid = 25 (plat 2) Jun = 20 Bot = 20 Sup = 15

As you can see, both teams have the same total MMR but B team has the advantage. Their plat 2 Katarina destroyed our gold 3 Orianna and then our nexus. I strongly believe Riot needs to do away with MMR and just match people +/- 1 of their division.

It's. a flex game, dude. It doesn't take into account Solo rank like that. Unless that is your flex rank. In that case Rip you.

Maybe it shows their solo mmr/rank, which isnt' the same as flex mmr/rank?

The Panth is Plat 5 in Flex, the Graves is Gold 3, and the Lucian is Unranked in flex. Flex MMR is independent of Solo/Duo, I occasionally see Diamonds in my Flex games also, they are just low Silver usually in Flex. I'm sure Riot could do something to fix that issue, I just dunno what it is. Flex seems to just give people the option to Smurf without having a second account.

I believe riot tries to keep people at a 50% win rate. If you look caitlin has a 52% win rate and ia the highest elo. Matchmaking probably put them on that team to purposely lose just because of the hidden elo numbers. Rank in general is bullshit. It is not based on your own skill but the 50% chance that you win due to Matchmaking.

It's Flex queue.

MMR and Ranking are differnet. Someone that has won a lot of games has a higher MMR while people who lost a lot of games has a lower MMR than that rank's average.

Just so happens that it appears to be that your team had a higher MMR than average and the enemy team had a lower MMR than average. Rank has almost nothing to do with who you get matched with.

Riot fixed the matchmaking about 8 months ago so you wouldn't get paired with people out of 2 devisions than you. Even with that rule, you shouldn't be with diamonds when you have a silver. That's stupid.

That's quite funny, it's pretty much all of my norms. I'm gold in both rift queues, yet get against plat and dias literally every game. I just came to the conclusion I need to rank a lot more.

This is exactly why flex queue isn't taken seriously lol. It is still pretty bad sometimes in solo though... especially when on a winstreak.
