Flex Matchmaking is Abyssmal - It will affect the actual Season if not amended.

"It's the beginning of the season, this is to be expected."

On the contrary, no, I disagree. If something doesn't change, the same thing will happen when the season begins too. The start of the season should not place everyone past a certain point in the same MMR range. Place everyone in Gold 5? Fine. But don't make everyone's MMR the same.

This was not the first time. It won't be the last. These sorts of games happen regularly in this new queue. Even watching TheOddOne last night had a Silver in his game of entirely Diamonds. The Silver didn't even receive a kill, so it was obvious they didn't belong.

In this particular game, all of us had been through our placements (or were just lying) and we were all in Gold5-3. And yet our skill level was a canyon's length apart.

This is a problem because the losing team will lose more ranks than they would be situated in a normal season. They will fall into Silver. And if the MMR isn't fixed, they'll fall into Bronze. And these people who are Plat or Gold MMR, will play with Bronzes and stomp them, and the cycle will continue until it eventually pans out in a couple months. But by a couple months, many people will have gotten tired, angry, or demotivated that they are placing in lower divisions that you guys press so hard onto us only to make everyone feel bad they're not Challenger.
