Why do I keep on getting gold in my promo to platinum 2?

This happened more then 2 times I had to get back into promo, why is living hell does the match making give me a team with 2 players that are gold and enemy has a full stacked up platinum player team? This is pure shit how match making is, to balance out the MMR you place gold into a platinum team who has high mmr to balance out this horrible design match making system.

What is the point of trying to climb the ladder when you fuck with a persons promo? This also means duo too since Riot balance the MMR on enemy side or your team side if some one has a duo.

I'm silver 1 in a certain other account and I was matched up with players who were like gold 3 and above.

the gold 3 fiddlesticks has a 67% winrate and had better kill participation, k/d/a, and damage done the gold 1 thresh has a 56% winrate, but they were duod with the plat 1 gp is why they were in that game.

basically you're assigning blame and shaming someone because of their rank regardless of how they played. rank != mmr

O ya they played and they played badly if you want to watch the replay of the video, I don't mind if you think they are good but watch a replay then tell me if they really belong in the match.

Win rate % doesn't matter hope you realize that a person can have over 20 win over lost and still be at 51-52% winrate even diamond to masters have that. What matters is there skill level and when thresh can not even knock up at all since he has the worst reaction time or one hell of a horrible skill shot aim.

to make it all short, people can do great in certain days but that doesn't mean they are in platinum 2-1 players off the bat. Some players can do this but most are not, if they are good then they will climb the ladder on their own fast. Heck a person can suck in every single game but still win matches thanks to the luck of getting a better team, does that mean he is platinum level when he doesn't get lucky?

uhh... what? That would be number of wins that doesn't matter, not %. Fiddle has 45 games played, in which he's won 30 of them.

If fiddle was that good then he can climb fast to platinum

Considering he's already playing in plat games and almost has a 70% winrate, there's a good chance it won't take him much longer to get to plat. He's pretty obviously a smurf.

lost 16 of them and that is since he probably started at a low skill tier like silver. Actually no he isn't playing with platinum all the time, if you check the enemy team they have a gold who is duo with a player, that is how to balance the game Riot place another gold on the enemy side to balance out the match making.

He's been playing with mostly plat players for the past 18 games.
