Thought we were over this RIOT

I get that red side usually has better individual players to offset the map's balance tilt which somewhat favors blue side, but seriously, a team average MMR gap of 126? In ranked, that gap should be a lot lower. Even the number of ranked games played are so heavily one sided. Usually games are under 50 for team's average MMR gap. This is x2.5 that and 50 is usually considered a high number gap.

I get that normals are whatever. But in ranked, especially solo, and with auto-fill still in the game, this kind of bullshit one sided-ness should not happen.

That's not even bad...

I don't see the problem.

There is not much of a difference between Gold Mediocrity and Silver Terror... if you were against members of Diamond Pride, I could maybe see a point, but some golds and silvers vs. silvers? what's the problem?

The general side balance is pretty excessive. 3 golds vs all silvers for starters. I get that gold is not much better than silver, but there is still some superiority. The MMR averages are pretty far apart for a ranked game, those are closer to normal queue's level of team skill differences. Another is the amount of ranked games played that each side has. Red has significantly more games than blue, and just consistent ranked gameplay experience is somewhat important. I would have thought with a solo/duo ranked queue, and with auto-fill being a thing, that games would be very close in team skill level.
