Here is the image. I was spectating a friends game and bam it hit me, riot did not hide borders like they did creating the game. What i've seen is amazing. Basically is 1 ex platinum dude + 3 ex gold + 1 new dude vs 1 ex gold + 4 ex silver. Needless to say how the game turned out.

How is that even fair. I mean wow. I knew riot screwed up with matchmaking but I've never had the proof, now here it is.

It was a ranked game

IT was a normals and ranked is 100% not considered when a normals is played, they're overall skill lvl IN NORMALS is considered, it does not take into consideration what rank they are in ranked. You could be Bronze V in ranked and play with a Diamond 1 player in normals. Its rare but it can happen , if the Diamond player doesn't play particuarly well in normals (Norms most people dont care and just mess around) and the bronze player does, they'll be at "Similar Skill Lvl" in normals. Because most people could careless about normals. So they're real skill lvl doesn't really show in it.

I've seen worse, but yea it's really annoying to deal with. I've had a game where we were 3 Silvers and 2 Bronze vs 4 Diamonds and 1 Plat. It was so bad that the other team didn't even want to play and just told us to push mid and win because they felt that match was just way to unfair.

I once played a game of 1 gold, 3 silvers, and me vs 4 under level 30s and 1 Bronze player. I was my main. Their ADC was level 17. I got a penta against them. The disappointment when we got to post-game was real.
