Why are placement matches consistently filled with trolls?

Every single time I try to do placements on a new account it's SIGNIFICANTLY harder than actual games on my Diamond 5 account. Why does Riot place me with the absolute worst players they can possibly find in queue?

The matchmaking system is a fucking joke and they have no intentions of doing anything to fix it.

I had the most baffling rank game where my team won. Our Twitch jungle was a literal God, like if Beerus played League of Legends, yet we also had a Zed who died 15 times in the 31 minute game, claiming that he was drunk at the beginning. Almost all of those kills were given to the enemy mid laner.

As for why we get these people, my theory is that Riot is targeting us very specifically and hand pick our teammates to try and stop us from climbing.

sadly I truly agree with this. I had a bronze 5 MF in my placements. It was horrible to play with these people.

It's becasue you are diamond that it's so hard. They arent bad persay, but what is normal and good at that elo is the worst thing to do at higher elos. Just gotta learn to adjust slightly :)
