Just an honest question no QQ. If i am silver 2 and in promos for silver 1, why am are there gold 4/3 on the other team yet my team is main silver 2/1. I checked the gold players MMR, and its normal? So why are me and my duo fighting players so much better than us. I could understand if we where in promos for gold 5, but silver 1/2 ? really?

WHY do i have to beat players almsot 5 divisions higher than me to advance to a division not even in the s.ame league..

Except you dont. There's not a single game in your match history saying you went against a non gold 5/ silver.

Dont get me wrong, ive not lost on of these games yet, and im going 16+ kills a game. But it bothers me that im having to fight players this high in the first place.

first, you have no idea what their mmr is, so looking at the fact that they are gold 4 or whatever is irrelevant to the discussion. Secondly, even if they are truly are at that relevant mmr, the game is just ensuring that you are playing people who are better than you to ensure that you deserve to move up-the game obviously thinks that you are good enough to play with them.

You're running a 75% winrate in S1 and going up against a mix of S1s, G5s, and a handful of G4s and S2s.

Working as intended.

Looking at both Lolking and na.op.gg, the games are the same. Why wouldn't I use lolking as it gives me all of their ranks w/o having to click on each and every one of them. Everyone still between gold 5 and silver 2

Even if you did, mmr =/ placement. stop complaining, and play better.
