Dynamic Queue

I am a Platinum V player and I have been in the plat elo for over 100 games. I just played a solo queue match where i queue'd into a 3-man premade on my team. The match was found in less than 3 minutes so i figured the system found my skill leveled players for both teams. As i get into game, I saw unbelievable mistakes out of my friendly MF who would insta cancel her ult and sit in the middle of her team, but i felt she was just a "weak link" of her premade group. After the game, which we won thanks to a fed Yi, i checked my teams rankings. 1 was Silver IV, 1 Silver II, 1 Silver III, and a player in his PLACEMENT matches against a team of 5 gold or higher players. Why does this rank system even exist if the skill difference is further than a normal blind pick? I cant queue with a friend who is over 1 tier away from me but i queue into a team where everyone is MORE than 1 tier away? If Riot cant get it right in neither low elos nor high elos, what exactly is ranked GOOD at? This has happened in a few of my games already and I know many think it's about by MMR but I have stayed in plat IV or V since February. Is anyone else having this type of experience? I am a huge competitor and really miss matches with evenly skilled players on both sides.

I quit because of this, the match quality is so poor that games doesn't feel good to play.

Dynamic q is the greatest thing to happen in the history of the world. It makes automobiles and flying machines look down right ridicules. I can't think of any single thing that has benefited my life more than dynamic q. So shut your pie hole you rapscallion hooligan.

I think they reduced matchmaking quality a lot to get faster queue times. If they had SQ, they wouldn't even need to. Part of the reason it even takes longer is because it tries to match you with similar premade configurations. Although, I'm more annoyed about DQ making ranked pretty meaningless for individual achievement. It's devaluing rankings so much as long as it's all one ranking.

Oh for fuck's sake. Is every thread now about DQ ?
