Riot this needs to be addressed and should not be happening

I was plat 5 last year and am currently gold 4 trying to make my way back to plat. I just played a game and had a mid on my team that had only played one other ranked game and is completely unranked on their account - has never played ranked in any other season. First off, I am not sure why I am being matched with this person considering that I have played almost 300 games and am sitting at gold 4. Yes my mmr might not be the greatest and I was in a slump for a while, but I am slowly bouncing back.

That is not even the part that makes me mad though. This mid on my team that has virtually no ranked experience was matched up against a gold 1 with over 400 ranked games this season and an overall win% of 51%. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING? The game was a bust from the 5 min mark. I tried my best but it was clear our mid was just no match for theirs, and our jung began to troll and int. as a result. You really need to address these mathcmaking issues Riot. I took 5 days off from league and come back to this shit. Please fix it. Below is the Ori's op.gg page (our team) and the Syndra op.gg (opposing team). Edit: to the person who says this was flex, it is actually soloq http://imgur.com/a/Efsv3

Then Jackson paused a minute and considered... most of these brand new players end up in bronze or silver to start with. While diamond, master, and challenger level players could legit carry games regularly enough to climb out of silver or bronze with these new players on their team regularly, maybe players who should be silver or gold can't carry their way out of bronze or silver if they keep getting these players on their team. After all, If a plat can't carry every game in gold, why should a silver or gold (with less skill than him/her) be able to accomplish the same feat just because they are at a lower rank? The message was spread, the diamonds, plats, masters, and challengers understood this simple truth and convinced their friends of its truthfulness, and everyone stopped acting like every player of a lower elo than them was therefore automatically incapable of understanding anything about the game. War was solved, Demacia and Noxus became friends, and champions had pool party fights instead of deadly ones. The end.[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Riot need to bring back the Ranked Restriction back or follow it more clearly

Silver shouldn't even be able to play with Plat or the fact get que with Plat

It doesn't even matter if their MMR is high or our MMR is low

The fact people can't understand about High MMR and Low MMR is

Low MMR players like me get force to play with a full silver team against a full Plat team This is enforcing me to drop games no matter how good I try, because these other guys just get dumpster by the other players preventing me to win game

High MMR players, they get que with players who can actually carry them without them actually doing anything and if they are as good as they are to get High MMR, they shouldn't even need to be que with higher elo players to get out of their ranked

This has been a problem for myself in flex lately. I play with 2 others, silver 5 and a bronze 1, still climbing back to high silver/gold where we should be. The last few games in flex we are being placed against a group of high golds and plats. Our three do fine in those games, but our teammates, usually ranked higher than us but lower than our opponents, feed their faces off. An unwinnable game. According to me on op.gg (which I realize isn't perfect) shows a difference of 200 points, most games are within 20-30 points of each team.

We have about given up on this game.

Had to down vote The Op because this is not a issue, this is how flex works

I don't get why people DO NOT under stand about this issue and why its not a issue its actually the way the system should be properly working

FLEX QUEUE is a brand new queue, there is 0. and I mean 0 Previous stats for flex queue to go based off "IT IS" a brand new fresh queue

Which means IT DOES NOT matter what your ranking was in solo queue, IT DOES NOT matter what your ranking in quick match is. THE RANKING for FLEX IS based off previous ranking for Flex which is NOTHING

just like with a fresh ranking EVERY ONE starts off at 1200 and works their way up or down based off that.

YES his MMR was probably in the pool of people to play with

YES he doesn't have that much experience when it comes to Flex queue because he hasn't played it that much.

ok

SO honestly STOP complaining about flex queue match making.
