So redmercy's journey to masters series shows an intrinsic flaw in matchmaking.

and that flaw is skill. Most of the games he loses in the series are due to someone on his team being bad, being at a rank they wouldnt have been capable of climbing to without being boosted. When you do everything in your power but the people around you fail harder than that there is a very large, very clear problem. Lose streaks of 10 or more simply should NOT be happening in a remotely similar skill environment.

yeah because people don't have bad games ever, everyone must always be performing at their peak no matter what. You do know that there are always 5 people who lose a game when playing SR right? you do know that even when evenly matched you can still lose right? you do know that everyone has bad games in which they feed like crazy? just look at pros in which they have games that they die like 5+ times in the laning phase on their primary role!

you are always playing with different people, so you can always have someone who has tilted off the face of the earth in your games or people who are just having a bad game.

ten games is 5 hours at minimum generally. ten losses, ten STOMPs in a row is not something you expect to see in high ELOs. It shows a rather large problem in matchmaking that it happens.
