Riot, I really just wanna congratulate you on how good your matchmaking system was for my last game

My team: Gold II Gold IV Silver III Unranked Silver I

Enemy team: Plat IV Plat IV Plat III Bronze II Silver II

It was a balanced and competitive game where no side had the clear advantage. I enjoyed playing it a lot. The matchmaking system is perfect and there is no need for it to change whatsoever.

Look man, that Bronze II balances the whole thing out. I don't know what to tell you if you can't see that one Bronze player is worth three and a quarter negative barrels of Platinum players. (This is probably why I keep getting matched against Gold and low Plat players myself. Yep, this must be it. The world makes sense when I sit down and consider it.)

Its because Riot let a 1st Year collage student rewrite the Match Making system. (one that dropped out after getting hired by Riot for saying "I think Yasuo is the best champion ever")

So, OF COURSE, this was a Normal game, so SoloQ MMR don't matter, because Normal MMR is entirely separate.

And THEN, on top of it, the enemy team was a full 5-man premade versus your team 4-man squad. It's NOT the system that chose to put a random Bronze2 player with the Plat guys. It's the Plat guys who chose to go in a game with their Bronzie friend.

What do you want the match-making to do in such a situation? There is nothing it can do that will make it a fair game in any case.

Don't complain about the match-making, complain about the lack of restrictions on premades.
