Dynamic Queue in diamond is still a joke.

Let me just preface this by saying my mmr is normal, nothing too high or low, 19 lp gains, 18 lp losses which is fairly standard for a diamond 5 player.

I queued up for a game, and got a 4 man premade, who proceeded to force me into ADC despite top/mid being my main. I knew this because of their club tags. I figured they'd be Plat 1 or something because in Diamond I can only duo with one friend at the most. During the game, I searched them up. They're all low plat or high gold. Enemy team is all mid to high plat. Objectively, I cannot see in any sense how this could be construed fair as to match a gold 1 player with a d5 player. I hope next season's ranked changes fix this. Seriously Riot, there needs to be a change.

EDIT : As you can see, none of them appear to be smurfs either, so it's not a case of they have really high mmr.

As a diamond player, you are expected to balance out the gold players. That's how Riot's MMR system works. It's an awful system, but it's how Riot expects it to work.

Except the way Riot has been setting it up is so that one player has less of an impact on the game then they used to have. In addition, it's not even like I was playing a role I'm familiar with. I'd count my adc as low plat high gold level at best as well.

Not to mention their whole system of restriction premades at diamond is useless if they just put players lower than diamond in the game.

I know it doesn't work, but it's how Riot expects it to work in their idealized version of Dynamic Queue (which is why I am adamantly against Dynamic Queue).
