Matchmaking Twisted Treeling Ranked 3v3

Hello, I am a ranked 3v3 player and I am a part of a small player base in league who actually play the game mode competetively. I am here to talk about the matchmaking system and ask for some help to make it better for me and my friends who like to queue together.

I recently played a game with a challenger, and also with a bronze player. This is how broken the matchmaking is.

I am a plat player and I play most often with a friend who is gold. Because of the way lobbies work right now I am only able to invite Gold, Plat, or Diamond players. I have friends in Silver and I simply cannot play a game with them unless its blind pick.

I cannot add my silver friends to my team but I can get matched with much worse or even much better.

I played a game the other day against a Challenger player, this isnt even the first time. I have played with rank 7 on my team while I was still gold 1. I also get paired with bronze and Iron players all the time.

There is a very small playerbase on the twisted treeline which is why queue times are generally long and the rank difference is so large in these matches.

The only thing I ask is that I be able to invite my friends in Silver to my Plat lobby.

I couldn't invite my silver friend but I queued up and got matched with a bronze. I think thats pretty lame and when I got roflstomped by a challenger Renekton the other day it made me want to give up.

I enjoy playing with and against the higher elos because it gives me a chance to learn and develop. I just think that I should be able to invite my silver friend if theres the chance of being queued with and Iron and a Challenger at the same time.

Thanks for listening.

It's cause they needed to actually balance the Flex modes by making it start based on your SOLO MMR instead of having them with fresh MMR. I've seen some of the most unbalanced mixes of teams in there because of that and they never bothered to do anything to fix it.

Restart your queue if it goes over double the estimated time, it'll greatly increase the balance of your games and won't add too much extra wait time.

Seriously, this will vastly improve your experience.
