Ranked Match Making System?
Played a ranked game today and had one player stand out extremely so. Being curious I looked up the players in the game on OP.GG as I do for every ranked game. Now, I cannot understand how, the player shown, was grouped with my tier for a ranked match but then grouped with players completely far from my MMR tier in the next match.
So I am just trying to understand how someone who isn't progressing can be placed with people that are climbing in 1 game and then placed with players who are falling extremely rapidly the next. The only thing I could come up with would be:
- Players are given a benefit of a doubt and still grouped with players in their placed tier to see how they perform. (But I disproved this since the player has consistently shown less then favoring game play.)
or
- When a player is un-ranked they still have a chance to prove themselves within their tier because they had previously proved to be in such a tier. (But technically you are un-ranked this season until you rank in solo/duo queue and place in flex queue, unless this is a glitch that I have been seeing everyone who isn't placed in both as "un-ranked".)
So if someone could please explain exactly how drastic player MMR's and consistent game-plays differ in ranked queue.
Not trying to be cruel just trying to understand exactly how the system works. (Feel free to view my KDA's if it helps with an explanation I usually DUO-queue so that may have something to do with it but I don't think the difference should be so drastic.)
