Playing Ranked 5's just feels unfair.

So me and a few of my Low-Bronze buddies decided to make a ranked 5's team to improve together. We all went our main roles, formed a good comp we felt comfortable with, and started our first Provisionals.

Full high gold - high silver players on the enemy team who rofl-stomped us instantly. We (obviously) got quite discouraged and upset because we were being obviously outclassed by a bunch of obviously higher-elo players.

Then, the enemy team confined in us, saying their last game, they went against a Plat Akali and got rofl-stomped themselves.

How is any of this balanced? You're gonna say MMR, but I can proudly state my MMR is still in the bronze level, and so are all my friends. All of us are in low bronze, either 4 or 5.

I needed to vent, but seriously, we all felt cheated of a proper game because we can never know if we're outclassed or going to pubstomp. We accepted our defeat in grace, but literally, almost all of us just quit because if we're going to be so unbalanced we either win or lose, we'd rather just play normals, cause that's pretty much the same thing.

You can't base the MMR on one game. They are trying to find a good place for you, ya you got stomped by high golds but after placements you will land in bronze 4-5 and play with teams who also got stomped.

Don't worry guys you can do it!

Yeah, me and 2 other people still wanna stick it out till the end, but 2 people literally ragequit and left the team. Now we either need replacements or gotta do 3's which I heard is even worse.

3's for me was fun, me and 2 of my buddies are High Gold, High Plat, Low Diamond. We climbed Gold to Diamond in 3's with Galio/Malphite/Cho'Gath just find something and stick with it.

Just remember it is a video game and you should be having fun

probably saved you in the long-run. anyone rage quitting a ranked 5s team because of a single game, probably aren't worth the time working with. and building up a serious team synergy with.

you probably wont find good match-up till quite a number of games are played. so matchmaking can properly asses where your team belongs in the ladders.
