Matchmaker Making Bad Teams

Ozlo Zozo·Aug 18, 2016·3 votes·346 views

Basically for the last few months (in normals) I have been teamed up with people from B5 to S1, and sometimes all the silver players are on one team. This makes a lot of matches unbalanced, and not very fun, get stomped or do the stomping. I think this happened when Riot made it easier to get your primary role but at the cost of good games. Can you please fix your matchmaker Riot? These aren't quality games as you say.

A solution would be to find ten players and distribute them evenly. Not two groups of 5 and then say well this is close enough.

This has been said numerous times by RIOT and on different boards - normal matchmaking and ranked matchmaking are calculated using two complete different MMRs. A challenger and bronze ranked players could have the same normal MMRs.

This is true, I'm silver 5 in ranked (to lazy to climb), But in normals I constantly face gold & plats and the occasional diamond, they are becoming more frequent though. Its just the way normal mmr works. Gives you a lot of experience too when you face the non boosted high ranking players because you get to learn how their elo plays with out being in that elo.
