Please Riot... Please look at this.

Today i was playing ranked flex queue. I was queue'd with my friend marquinhos, and we feel as if the team we got was way below our skill level. To add on to that the enemy team was a lot higher than our teams skill level. When i say skill level i'm incorporating a lot of different stats and facts about the players and there history. Our team consisted of these five players, XnibiruX, xmarquinhosx, TH3GUAMANIAC, diskeywhick95, Starman60. Now it would take way to long to type everything or send as many attachments as i would like but ill give you a general idea of our skill levels. xnibirux - lvl 130 - silver 3 and silver 5 on ranked - over 500games played on ranked xmarquinhosx - lvl 130 - silver 5 and silver 3 on ranked - over 150games played on ranked TH3GUAMANIAC - lvl 35 - unranked - 7 total games on ranked diskeywhick95 - lvl 35 - unranked - 8 total games on ranked Starman60 - lvl 30 - unranked - 9 total games on ranked

If you asked me this already seems a bit unfair and it doesn't seem like our skill levels are even close. Some may say well the game matches you with equally skilled opponents, as in the enemy team might have the same kind of team diversity in ranks etc. However this is not the case, in fact this is what makes it even worse. Here's another general idea of the enemy teams skill level. Nakira6 - lvl 80 - bronze 2 and silver 5 on ranked - over 350 games played on ranked OhSoSlick - lvl 96 - bronze 1 and silver 4 on ranked - over 200 games played on ranked Kermitthefragg - lvl 77 - bronze 3 and silver 4 on ranked - over 200 games on ranked Gwazu - lvl 97 - Silver 1 and Silver 5 on ranked - over 250 games on ranked Hîî - lvl 111 - Silver 3 and Platinum 5 on ranked - over 500 games on ranked

This is where i have issues with how Riot has placed me against these players and has given me a team of starters. I don't presume to know how we are placed against or with our teams. In no way is this okay. No matter how its being done, there is no excuse or reason for this kind of uneven match up. I want this discussion to raise to main questions.

1. Why are the match-ups so uneven between two teams?

2. Is it really the best idea to have to ranked queues?

I play flex 100% of the time now. I enjoy having the same rank no matter if im playing alone, in a duo, three manning, or 5 queue. The queue is labeled RANKED FLEX. You would think people would take it seriously right? it just so happens that from my experience less than 50% of people who play flex take it seriously. Its ruining the competitive aspect of the game for me and id like to believe so many more people. Not only is it making people give up and not care or not take it serious, but it allows "smurfing" in a competitive lobby. Riot i don't believe its your intention to do this, but i feel its very hard to overlook for so long. What is the definition of RANKED FLEX when its not in any way shape or form fair to its players. I hope this goes somewhere or someone who has any kind of influence can look at this broken aspect to league of legends ranked play.

Thank you for giving me your time and reading this.
