Anti-fun matchmaking

How was this allowed to happen? Why did all the high level players end up on the same team? All the data in the ranked win/loss column indicates that all players are in roughly the right place, and with the the restrictive queuing system for ranked, silvers and plats cant queue together. This is not intended to be a complaint about the outcome of the match (blue side stomped red), this is merely asking Riot how matchmaking can make a game this anti-fun.

I would assume this happened because a S2 queued with the G1. As for why they're all on the same team, it could be that the plats have a) lost enough in a row to lose mmr, or 2) decayed from lack of play.

I personally believe that Silvers should never face plat. Its incredibly unfair that they can't duo with one, but they can fight one. I don't like how if you win or lose a lot you start facing different tiers. Plats should always face plats, not be allowed to fight golds and silvers just because they lose to plats. Likewise, if you go on a streak of wins in silver, you shouldn't have to face plats when you're trying to climb.

I even saw some bronze players playing vs platinums...
