If I can't duo with you, I shouldn't be playing with you.

That's it. Title. Riot needs to stop auto-filling me with Bronze players that can't play the game and then demoting me. Riot needs to fix their matchmaking. Maybe, ya know... use the rank system you implement?

It's not hard to notice that you cut out that this guy, who had a 75% winrate, was the best performing player on your team and his losses previous to this were, all except for one, the games where he got jungle instead. But hey, the word "Bronze" is written there, so you losing your match is actually Riot's fault; that's what you are asking people to believe.

But you can duo with a Silver as a Bronze

This is why MMR is so flawed. Sure that bronze player probably has really high mmr, but they built that mmr upon playing lower skilled players. Once players like that get into higher skilled games they tend to fail miserably while they are still adjusting to the new pace.

Riot just needs to drop the hidden MMR/ELO and just make it so you only face players within the same tier as you and your duo has to be the same tier as well.

MMR is useless if you just tighten the solo/duo matchmaking to same tier anyways. Smurfs dont matter either, they will honestly climb faster and be outta the way of lower elo players.
