confused about ranked matchmaking

SilentSiren··1 votes·347 views

OK. so i don't post on here very often but i would genuinely like to know why in my last few ranked games i have been placed with an entire team of bronze players anywhere from bronze 1 to bronze 3 against a team that is a actually near my ranking, Silver 4. so anywhere between silver 5 to silver 2 or 3 etc.

Until my last few matches I had been on a small win streak, even got promoted into silver 4 on it. however my last few matches I've had team tear themselves apart flaming, that's fine it happens I understand, I've even played with team that genuinely tried to work together, which is amazing in and of itself. yet when you're placed against a team that is multiple divisions higher than most of your team. it stops feeling like a fair fight and more like a slaughter regardless of your team.

A little bit of this is a rant, it is quite frustrating to see your team communicating and trying to work together and just get demolished regardless what in the ranking system justifies that? is it my win streak? if so could i at least get a team at my level and go against players above said level?

Thanks for reading, Cheers.

Just means your MMR is super low. Let's check it out.

Yep. Your MMR is super super low. Which means you aren't playing at the same level as others of your rank: https://gyazo.com/2d6da1c26a8036ec884e71884ec557d7

I dont see it as a mmr problem to be totally honest. My mmr isnt bad for where im at right now. The matching system is just making it to where 1 team has a higher mmr than the other and that results in 1 team just being extremely better than the other. It feels like luck now when you get a good team because there is no in between. Either good or terrible, never a good decent and balanced game anymore.

Idk what the problem is. But it does feel like luck. I do ok for a few matches. Finally climb into a win streak get promoted. Into a lose streak fight back up. Wash rinse repeat. It's just. Aggravating Starcraft was kinda like this for a while. Havent played in forevers so idk the state of it now. But no one liked it then either.

That's fine id expect my mmr to be super low seeing as i entered this division on a win streak and immediately turned into a losing streak. My question isnt about my mmr. Its why is an entire team. A league above mine. Check my last match for example. If i recall myself and one other were silver 4&5 with 2 players in bronze 3 and a bronze 1. Vs silver 4 silver 4 silver 3 silver5 silver...etc. Even after being left alone in lane our adc couldnt farm enough to keep up in cs. Had no idea how to freeze the wave and kept shoving it into being ganked. Not saying im perfect by any means. When pretty much your entire team is our classed. Is kinda obvious. Again and again...

I find the ranked system extremely disappointing this season. The match ups are never good as of recently, I definitely did not have this problem in the past. And I'm not sure if its because of mmr or what. But my mmr is usually at a gold level, but I am getting steam rolled every game because the enemy team is way better. There isnt a single thing anyone can do about it, just have to lose the match in 20 minutes. I'm not sure whats up with the match making system but I hope it gets fixed because I completely understand where you're coming from. Very confused on what is happening. It is hard to climb lately.
