Get to the next Rank and Riot gives me over and over Iron players in my Rank

Enemy teams keep getting more challenging but my teams have 1-3 team mates that ARE NO WAY IN ANY UNIVERSE IN MY RANK.

Cant win when Jax builds over and ZERO Def items when playing vs a Heavy CC comp.....

You're complaining about Jax going Gunblade over Rageblade but you haven't bought a BC in the past 5 games...?

BC is not as core as it use to be. Conqueror took care of that.

I also am successful with my builds (win lane and carry as long as I dont have 2+ feeders)

just looking at the defeats in recent history

the mmr seems about right

the system isn't perfect for matchmaking, it likely never will be

yes the system will try to prioritize similar ranking (both through the main system and the hidden mmr system) but it also has to fill slots for matches

I would assume it works something similar to Smite's matchmaking for ranked

which roughly follows as such

you queue up for a ranked match
the system searches for players within your rank range, allowing for minor variance
x amount of time passes without a successful match find
the system broadens the search to allow for greater rank difference
repeat steps 3 and 4 until a match is found

Basically, although there's (most likely) a cap on step 5 to prevent total bullshit. And even then it tries to match MMR even with a large variation range - it'll pull in someone higher or lower MMR to compensate someone of low or high MMR, or they'll add someone of roughly equal rank to the enemy team.

it's entirely possible but i'm not sure

I've seen really far ranged differences in ranks but that could easily have been in draft, which I think doesn't use the mmr system that ranked does (I could be horribly wrong)
