Ranked Flex Promo for Plat 1 with a Bronze 2

Doctor Liber·Jan 1, 2019·20 votes·12,468 views

I just played for the 3rd time my Ranked Flex promo for Plat 1 , and after losing again cause our jungler has been totally outplayed all game long, i wanted to check his Rank. When i noticed that he is Bronze 2 in Flex Queue i just couldn't understand how the **** can this just happen. Can Riot Games please tell me how is it possible for a Bronze 2 FlexQ and Silver 4 SoloQ to be matched with a P2 FlexQ and D4 SoloQ during my promo ? Can you please tell me ? Love

EDIT: This is not a flamepost , but since a lot of us play Your game ( and I do it frequently ) is it possible for you to make clear what actually happens when we start Matchmaking ? Can you take some time to talk about how is Your game working ? It's more than 3 years that i play this game and still i can't understand how certain things in this Game work.

They try their absolute hardest to make League climbing experience hell for you by trying to forcefully shove 50% win rate at you.

I lost respect for the matchmaking system long ago: 3v3, me and my premade got matched with a random 3rd person. That person played well, and we wanted to include him in our premade group.

We couldn't, because his rank was too high compared to my premade.

How can we even get matched with someone, if we can't play premade together?

3s matchmaking is absolute aids. Tbf, no one plays that queue. You can wait 30 minutes or play with wack matchmaking. Back when I was playing it for end of season rewards, I was routinely playing with/against masters/challengers although I was only gold. Lol. 3s is a whole issue itself.

Just had a game with full Bronze 4 on my team (I'm Silver/Gold) and the enemy team was Plat 1 and Diamond 1, all premade. WP Riot. Love ya. Oh, MB. Their mid wasn't D. He was Master.

because they are running low on players .... this happens to me all the time and also in my solo duo not just flex :) ,

Because it's the preseason, they literally erased a ranked tier, and they said that the match making system is going to be fucking wack until the season begins because of it. No surprise here.

After seeing what his elo was I just felt bad for him to be matched in such a game where he couldn't do anything. It's not his fault sadly

Im only G VI but i also noticed that as well there are games that im playing with bronze VI or II consistently... I was hoping to grind away from these players( I know they are in all ranks but there is alot more trolls in bronze). I would get confused in matchmaking why players would Ban your pick or troll pick nunu adc because his support picked teemo.. then i will see they are both in bronze and i just lost a game because i lost the player coinflip.

Dude I've been playing flex with other 2 friends for months, every game we've been checking ranks of our team-mates (their solo rank and flex rank). That matchmaking is just fucked up.

Like... I was having promo to plat 1, my two friends were around plat 3 and we got two unranked players, with silver soloQ rank.

The flex is just a poor joke...

The fact that they intentionally give you worse teammates to try and balance out your win rate, especially if you carried all the games you won, is absolutely fucking disgusting.

If you really are good you know how you play matters, and rank doesn't mean all that much. I have been significantly better than you at the entire game for years and have never been out of Silver. Your rank is who you play with, your matchmaking rating. You have no reason to complain.
