Riot actually thinks everything is fine with matchmaking below Diamond

Its actually pathetic, that Riot employees in charge of Ranked are completely oblivious to the issues in their game.

The second fucking sentence in the tweet...
How they cannot see that? Actually I start making screenshots on op.gg. of my games. I will make a thread when i have 10 or so.
From my last 4 games I had 80-90% winrate smurfs in 3 of them. Ofc only on one team (in one case even 2 smurfs in one team). So the team without smurfs got stomped. It was SO fun!!!
no
Why you guys downvote this? Wtf?
Uh....read the recent ranked post that guy put out on the Dev Corner, and tell me how in the fuck this guy is a terrible person when he legit put up the option of reverting the current ranked system, a system he worked his ass off on to just design alone. We get it, people like you hate the company for x or y, but for the love of god, don't me shoving that shit on a humble person like SapMagic. Please.
Just a commoner (gold 1), but I will say the games are definitely feast or famine (but I feel that might be because position ranks were to gracious). I think as with everything that requires data, more time is needed.
- to prevent smurfing, what are other goals/rewards that can be added to the split point system (that can take more than a week to achieve?)
- what kind of ranked specific penalties can we implement to prevent people from running it down in their off-role
- can we just take some more data at all elos (diamond + excluded (they already have problems to really work out) and see what it looks like?
- silly uneducated player base, please stop spraying your anecdotal expreicinecs, it's statically irrelevant.
- take into consideration the increase in smurfing might be because of the deadweight in diamond/masters (the boosting and now the "unrealistic grind required to go up in Diamond as a result)
- get of sapMagic's head, I think he and his team are handling the situation in an extremely cautious and professional way (the forums sound like Salem during the witch trials (RESET IT ALL BURN IT ALL DOWN)
