Why did I get matched against a gold 3 when I am silver 4?

It legit felt like I couldn't do anything in lane as he somehow outdamaged me. They had a bronze 1 to "compensate" but that shit is stupid. Edit: I just found out he is duoing with a silver 5. I didn't even know you could do this.

it might just be me, but if you're silver 4, you should be in a game with 9 other silver 4's. People who think that "isn't balanced" should take a closer look at things. If someone really isn't silver 4 elo, then surely it'll sort itself out, right?

And no one should ever be autofilled And all your friends should be the same skill level and rank as you And everyone should get free puppies because they're so cute And rainbows should happen every day even when it's not raining

There isn't that large of a gap between silver and gold. If he's duoing with a silver, and you have mid silver mmr you're going to have golds in your games. Usually the golds who are falling out of gold sadly.

this matchmaking is actually fine. if your silver you go against bronze silvers and gold. you will rarely if ever go past a division difference. one time in plat 4 earlir this year i went against a master's player. why? because he was on a massive tilt streak and lost about 30 games in a row. and he probably duoed with the diamond in that game

I often get games with players ranging from bronze to diamond...

And I'm S1.

Is the enemy d2 adc better than my s3 adc? Very likely. I just dont understand why riot expects me to make up for such a big deficit to gain a few lp in silver.

Big part of it is to force that 50% winrate.

silvers instead of bronzies, but still close

The reason that happened is because that person was duo with the Morgana. This is usually the case when discrepancies this significant happen, for me at least. Just go on the op.gg page of the person who's rank is to high in comparison to yours, and check their 'Recently Played With'.

Was recently asked to fill out a RITO feedback survey after a game. Gave their matchmaking the worst possible score

Rito has seen your latent abilites and are preventing you from being the next Faker.

Nah just kidding, the G3 player is just duo queuing with his lower elo friend so it pushes them down to your MMR.
