Why the hell do I get matched with that shit.... Like seriously I'm not even officially gold yet... fucking bs to prove I'm gold gotten beat Plat??? Fuck that ranked system is fuckin broken as shit
That just means it is a plat with really low MMR, near the point of demoting, or he was duod with like a silver 5.
Ya I agree, the rules should be stricter. I think we should only be able to duo within our same tier, and even that is kind of iffy because some tiers have a broad range skillwise.
Ya, but Plat 1 can duo with Gold 5, and the Gold 5 can have silver 4ish MMR, which really messes things.
I've honestly never had an issue with it. If you really are gold material, you should be able to handle yourself well enough against the enemy team even if they have 1 plat on their team etc. etc. Given that the skill disparity isn't too large, fighting against someone who is better than you challenges you to learn and to improve.
The platinum V player was probably only good enough to be gold IV or something. Do not judge a player based on their tier. Consider their MMR.
I just think that it would be way less frustrating to play ranked (esp. in low elo) if we never got matched with people outside of 2 tiers above or below us EVER (probably have to redo duo q stuff again but idc) this would mean if I am genuinely better than where I'm at I WILL move up a lot more quickly and if someone (like this "Plat 5" guy) was too high they would get dominated over and over again until they fell which would happen quickly since they wouldn't be getting silver matchups while still in plat.
Either the Plat had a horrible MMR and was around Gold 4 skill level or he was duo'd with a gold V who was around a silver 4 skill level, either way it evens out.
