Matchmaking Is A Myth

Yeah i just played a game and had a Diamond 2 player on my team, and guess what else i had. An IRON 2 I KID YOU NOT. I've been saying that the matchmaking is total bs for what feels like forever and I'd love to see a Riot employee try to explain this one away but I bet that this will get ignored just like everything else. Matchmaking is TOTAL BS there is no matchmaking it just ques you with whoever the hell is queing at the same time. I've been qued with lv 23 players NOT EVEN LV 30 they were literally FRESH out of bot games had 13 mastery. We wiped 3 of the enemy team all of which were their biggest threats and instead of pushing the lanes out really fast and taking the FREE BARON instead my bronze 5 jgler and my IRON 2 adc ignored my pings and chat and chased the enemy jinx around the jg and got NOTHING resulting in the loss of the game. but every time i bring this up it gets blown off because riot doesn't care AT ALL.

If you want competitive matches why are you playing normals? Why are you playing a mode where people go have fun, try new things or just all around not try as hard when your goal is to have close matches?

Matchmaking works by MMR, not ranked. That "iron 2 kid" will probably be gold next week.

op.gg takes ages to update, you cant even get sub-30s in your games unless you yourself are completely new. The system separates out new players.

Also, bronze V does not exist anymore. Big doubt.

Norrmals has more leeway than ranked games since there's nothing stopping a diamond player from queuing up with his iron friend.

looking on op.gg, there was no iron 2 player. You had a bronze 4 player queued with the diamond 2 player, a level 191, a silver 2, and another bronze 4 (you)

What are you confused about exactly? That the diamond player is allowed to play with his low elo friend in a normal game?

How confused are you to claim Bronze 5 and Iron 2 existing in the same game?

How difficult is it to understand that Ranked and Normal Que's are tracked independently.

What's complicated about the simple realization that the worst Player in Ranked and the best player in ranked can team up and be on the same team in a normal game because its not designed to be hyper competitive or restrict the ranges for premade teams?

Fuck it, people are stupid. I will start a petition to change normal to hyper casual.
