And I do not give a damn if I get banned for it. There is absolutely no excuse for this type of match-up to ever happen in your game, I don't care if there are only 10 people queueing up and it's these two teams it should never happen period.
It's actually worse than the pic shows, 3 of those on the enemy team are currently sitting in Master while my team had 3 unranked and 2 golds. Screw you riot.
do you want the MMR of normal games and ranked to be tied together or what's going on here?
I mean, it's a Normal match, which uses a separate and hidden MMR than Ranked's. It's very easy for this match to happen especially if the said high elo barely if ever plays Normal.
Sure it sucks (I mean, fuck, I had been stuck in a Normal match as a Silver 5 where 9 other places were all Plat+, making me the sole reason why we lost and it obviously doesn't feel good at all), but then again, it's Norms; shit happens because of the reasons elaborated above, and also that it ultimately doesn't count towards anything anyway so while it may or may not be frustrating but understand that it in the end has no effect.
To elaborate on Sekai's words,
Normals use the same system that ranked uses, for placing players into teams. however unlike in ranked where the matchmaker tries to match player skill (and role selection) tightly, in normals the emphasis is to get the game started and have everybody able to play together.
This kind of matchmaking is the problem that is inherent to how normals does things. It's not an inherently flawed system, it is just geared towards making sure people can queue together across divisions and getting games launched fast.
If you want tight matchmaking around your MMR? go ranked.
Normal game
Are you under the impression a riot employee oversees every match making in the game? You don't have to agree with 'reasons' (Not excuses, in case you didn't know they are different) for them to be justified, it's frustrating, not broken. Coding this also is more than a few lines, it's edits across many many lines of the current code to implement.
Then youll be punished and dealt with. Normal games dont have ranked MMR, and its literally impossible for it to have a "failsafe" as you call it.
Not normal game only . FLEX should also be improved . https://imgur.com/iwNm271 https://imgur.com/QiNhqbD https://imgur.com/NXAI8hg
The people who do not see the problem are not looking at the right perspective. The problem is quite big because it is ruining new player experience. This issue is entirely fixable by having ranked MMR affect Normal MMR once ranked MMR has hit a certain threshold.
Example using numbers:
say ranked MMR is 1000k, then your normal threshhold should be 500. as in 500 above that and 500 below that. Of course the numbers would need fine tuning but you should get the general idea.
Or use it as an opportunity to learn, and get better as a player against higher skilled opponents in a non pressure situation. AKA stop being a bitch
