Riot's matchmaking system is a joke.

It's obviously going to be the team without the pessimist.

Having the bronze on the 1st team really unbalances the match in that team's favor thus they had to throw a diamond 1 on the other team to even it out so to speak.

So I guess I am the only one who doesn't have a machmaking that gives you player with such different ranks. But obviously your own team allways sucks.

Its either a normal game or a preseason ranked game, so the answer is: who cares?

Wait, so which team won? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Had a normal 3's game vs a full challenger team, my team was diamond 4, silver 5 and silver 2. It was normals though so it's kinda not easy to prevent it.

if this is EU it can go either way, you can't tell who would win

If I'd have to guess, I'd say it's because your unranked player has mid gold MMR (or higher) (add + subtract the MMRs of your team) - it's still dis-balanced but they're potentially your best player MMR-wise.

If this is ranked, it's disbalanced because they're unranked. Unranked players only have 10 games to be placed from bronze to plat, and the rank of your opponent climbs rapidly as a means of testing you; fighting a diamond is the best way for the system to see if you belong in plat.

It just so happens the skill gap between low and high diamond is far more expansive than the MMR range implies.
