MysterQ·Oct 22, 2017·9 votes·288 views

So sorry to the enemy Nasus. He was level 16 and he got laned vs a diamond Olaf who bodied him and the jungler multiple times.

Team comps were Dia, Silver, Gold, Silver, Level 30 vs Level 16, Level 30, Plat, Gold, Plat

No duo's with the level 16.??? Like how did he get put in our game, it wasn't even fair for him. I want to talk and apologize to him for that beating 15min surrender. Like sure he had some plats to try to help his team but it was over from the start. He clearly wasn't a smurf or anything, he just started wandering river because his turrets were gone.

Was this Ranked or Normal game? Normal games seem to have very "interesting" algorithm, especially If someone doesn't play often. When I return to playing Normals after a long break I usually play against much worse players than me, takes like three games for the MMR to get fixed. So maybe the Olaf came to play Normals after long time and while his Ranked status was Dia, his Normals MMR was so low.

Not that it would apologize the stupid matchamking, but If it was Normals it wasn't one-game bug, it's general mathcmaking problem.

Obviously normal, level 16 can't go to rank yet.

Yes, I have heard of Challengers never playing normals and starting in crazy low MMR. But it must have felt terrible for the Nasus.

And I know/we know Normal matchmaking has been an issue. But I never thought it would put a 16 non-duo vs a bunch of plats/golds/dias.
