The title says it all. This type of thing has happened in 2 out of 4 of my recent games.

And yes I checked, the other team wasn't handicapped in the same way. So no, skill wasn't balanced between the 2 teams.

Please discuss. Angrily.

Don’t worry. In my b1 games I was being paired with fucking gold 1 players and a plat 3. Course they were on the enemy team.

And yes. We lost. It was fucking bad.

My buddy, Silver 3, and I, unranked, got stuck playing high gold to mid plat 3 games in a row. We don't want this happening as much as you do.

Unranked means a play doesn't have his rank shown yet. It's not a fresh player

You got matched with them because your MMR is similar to theirs. I browsed through your match history. In this game where you had 2 unranked, and based on end game stats, both of them did better than the Gold 3 Mord on your team. One of them did better than you did, having fewer deaths, higher farm, and the same kill participation.

And in the other game, the unranked Kayle did about as well as the Gold 4 Vi, but it doesn't really matter because this game was lost in bot lane, where you were, and mid, as the enemy ADC and Mid are both at double digit kills.

I make a post about unfair matchmaking, and I get downvoted. Cool.

They don't seem to have an actual way to balance matches where most of them feel fairly even. So those "even" matches are the tie breakers to the stomp or get stomped matches. Sometimes you're the handicapped parking. Sometimes you're the car. And that's balance.
