Riot, you need to come forward and address the stupid matchmaking of preseason.

Seriously, I'm Gold 1 on my flex and playing duo with my friend who's Silver 2. In the past 3 days, I've played over 30 games, and I only managed to win 5 or 6. Not claiming that I was playing my best, I also had some bad moments, but the matchmaking is just purely stupid. I get people from bronze elo matched with me, I get people who are new to the game, I get people who first time champions and generally it feels like I'm playing a game with bots.

I get junglers suiciding in the jungle, I get constant AFKers because they die once, I get teammates who are just inting etc.

I know it's the preseason and that ranks and elo do not really matter as much, and that people are trying out things. I also try new things. BUT, at least I'm not trolling, I'm not inting or going AFK, and I also don't want to play with players that are really below my skill level. If people wanna troll in ranked games just because it's the preseason, then you need harsher punishments. Or better matchmaking.

Examples (by estimates): Garen top, about 10 deaths at 15 minutes, with 30 cs. Yi jungle, 0/11 at some point in the game around 25 minutes. (We won that game lol). Viktor mid. First timing Viktor, down 50 cs at 10 minutes and 0/3 ish. Bottom laners Xayah & Morde: 0/7 at 5 minutes, 3/22/10 total. Blitz support, diving at level 1 behind enemy minions just to die, while I'm farming the first minion wave. Rengar jungle, dies at level 2 to a camp, dies again at level 3. Keeps going AFK.

I could go on and on, but I think these examples are enough to show how many trolls or first timers I got in these past 30 games. It got to a point where it felt like it doesn't matter what I or my friend did, the only hope to win is if the enemy team also had trolls, which they did in a couple games.

I'm not quite sure why the matchmaking is as bad as it is now. Maybe not a lot of people play during this time? I don't know. What I know is that I do deserve to play with people of equal skill level. Fix this fucking bullshit, seriously.
