Riots Matchmaking skills at its finest.

So I began my normal day with a lovely 5 losses in ranked and a couple games of blind pick. Now we hear people say the words "Smurf" or unbalanced teams for this I will hit on unbalanced teams.

Matchmaking is so equal. I mean if it wasn't why would you say it ? Normal Games "In Normal Games you, or your team, will be automatically matched up against players of equivalent skill." I appreciate the fact we get classed with Gold and Platinum while in bronze but appreciation isn't enough to win a game.

The end result of this game was Us winning. 3 premade Jinx + Leona + shaco then the Swain managed to do well against the Akali (Gold) I didn't see ekko all game so I assume he went afk for a little while (plat) And then we had difficulty bottom however the jungle rengar was really persistant in his ganks and was a pleasant player.

So in the end of my argument I leave with a question. Do Riot stay true to their word, or were we unbelievably lucky.

Nope, its skill level. I get matched against golds all the time and sometimes the rare platinum.

I'm actually Silver(I bounce between 5-3), but when I play normals I get matched with Golds/Plats even if I go in solo. The reason for it is because normally if I play norms, I play with Plat+ friends, and when we win it raises my "Normals MMR" Closer toward their level, and away from my own.

Sure, I often end up being the silver midlane facing a plat, but I find it fun - Can't improve without facing someone better than you :)

And I still usually win lane D= It's after that when I have trouble xD
