Placements games are legit garbage.

So recently i've been leveling up 3 smurfs to play with some low gold elo friends.

But i've never ever seen such a bad matchmaking in placements. Last season placements games were somehow balanced around silver/gold at best. But now it is random af. Gold player 50%WR are matched with bronze 30%WR. Like how does this even make sense since the bronze guy obviously has at least 2 times less MMR than the gold one.

Because of this shit system more than half of my 30 placements games ended up like this one (im akali) : https://imgur.com/a/YzcaESY

Games where i litteraly win alone and i'm 100% sure a lower elo player wouldn't even have been able to make the game last more than 10 mins. How the fuck new player can enjoy their first ranked experience when YOUR 10 FIRST GAMES (at least 3-4hours of your time) are not even decided by how you play. Better lower J4 HP by 1.2 :D

Being that you're the one surfing, don't you think its only imbalanced because it detects you're surfing?

You do understand that you are one of the reasons why matchmaking sucks?

If you want to play with lowbie friends, then just use normal mode, rather than break already shitty MM in ranked. Your smurfing breaks the possible fun other players might have with the game.

Except this is the same as the "my level 14 account has toxic team mates" argument, you're placed with other smurfs. You just haven't learned yet about the smurfs that boost accounts and lose on purpose to get them to bronze/iron for various reasons.
