Can we fix Matchmaking for ranked please?

This has happened to me and others WAY too much to be a "coincidence". (Esp when you are in promos!). I'll use my most recent example. Climbing up silver ladder. Win 11-12 games in a row and end up in promos for Silver 2. The VERY first game we get a ADC ashe player that (swear to god was a BOT) had a level 31 status, UNRANKED, trolled and fed the only games of ranked they had and played a champ with mastery level of 9 points!

Now how the hell did this fool get into a RANKED game for higher silver nearing Gold? Hmmmm o_O.

This isnt the only time I have seen this or had it happen to me as well.

They start there basically. You will find a good # of high uncertainty accounts around Silver 4 thru gold 2. I sadly only have data from 1 alt I made this year, it looks like S2 is the starting point for account in both Solo and Flex on NA.

Assume any game with players under 50 games has very good odds to be completely garbage.

Promos themselves do not matter much, At all. Just treat them like any other game and play the same as you usually do.

Yes, is called remove autofill. Once this hits live servers the matchmaking will be actually balanced.
