Someone Tell Me How Matchmaking Thought This WOULDN'T Be a Stomp

RANKED Solo/Duo

My Team has an UNRANKED Duo for botlane. One Gold at Toplane, and two Silvers for Mid and Jungle (I'm the mid)

Opposing Team has 3 Golds and 2 Silvers. THREE. GOLD.

Yeah, yeah gold 5, sure. But that's still in comparison to two fresh level 30's entering Ranked Queue together.

That ranked duo came out of laning phase with less than 40 cs to the opponent's 100+.

Throw me your best excuses for this shit. What's the point of a Ranked queue if it's based only on winning / losing, yet the teams are this skewed.

Might as well just give my team the loss and be done with it.

ranking matters little, post their estimated mmr numbers and then we'll talk. ill bet mmr averages are much closer, and just to let you know:

League does not matchmake based on rank (gold/silver) but soley on a hidden mmr number.

HAH! I'll even arrange it in order for you.

1313 1361 1361 1422 1459

vs.

1292 1379 1450 1452 1572

Go on. Say something clever. This correlates exactly to what I stated in the o.p.

Its unfortunate, but until they play ranked and have that competitive MMR, how else to get someone placed than start out around the middle of the ranks?
