Is this fair match making Riot Games? Am I supposed to have fun being completely destroyed and outplayed with my low rankings. Never been Plat in my 5 year League career yet Im matched with Plats and Diamond players.
Your match history is full of normals. This has been explained numerous times, but ranked and normal are treated separately for match making. Rank players especially higher ranked ones typically try out new champions and build in normal games before taking them into their rank matches.
I have only ever been gold and yet get matched against plats and diamonds. It's no big deal really, half of them are boosted.
I had a guy who was currently ranked plat 5 in my Solo/Duo Q promos to silver 3. I think this is due to MMR being high, but still, having to beat plat players to get to silver 1/Gold 5 just feels bad, especially when I've personally never made it past silver 2.
I come back after 2 weeks to vs masters and diamond 1s and 2s. I crushed them with my team of equally skilled players :) (im d5)
In my match history to get promoted from Bronze 3: Series Game 1: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2413321923/235158654?tab=overview Here's a Gold 5 and Plat 3 (S6 Diamond) as your opponent. We won from bullying the bad draven out then forced 3v2.
Series Game 2: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2413325962/235158654?tab=builds&participant=5 Oh you won that? We'll here's a guy who likes to lane as blitzcrank and feeds his face off.
Series Game 3: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2413328737/235158654?tab=overview Dang you didnt like the solo lane blitz? Well here's a support jungle kench who has no CS and just sits in the river bush incase someone walks by it to get ganked. Urgot too, just stands and shoots even if its 1v3. Gotta hold your ground to the death you know. Series failed. Fair
Fuck 3s. Lets go back to SR: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2414066143/235158654?tab=overview Here's a brand new 30 with 0 ranked games matched as a silver 2 ELO. Ghost, heal, thunderlords Renekton with 11 CS at 8 minutes, rushing Visage against Jax. not even a finished runepage either. Good luck summoner!
It's either your mmr or their shitty ass mmr.
Damn son!
The system must think you are improving as a player.

First, unless you're playing Solo/Duo Q, your matchmaking will be like this.
Second, I sometimes go vs Challenger and Masters being Diamond 4, and I see this as a challenge to copy them and improve rather than just giving up. This is a great oppertunity to learn from your opponent who clearly is of higher skill. I've won several games when I'm matched vs higher elo opponents in DuoQ, and I've also lost. If you stop focus on LP and start focusing on learning, you'll improve a lot, and eventually these higher skilled players will become equally skilled to you.
