Silver 1 47% overall Fire Cape Kat.

Thanks Riot.

Then Help him! I Have! Came in at 3:30 min with their top laner flashed, pinged 4 times, kat hugging the turret. Came in 12 seconds after that fight, ping another 6 times, kat is running at full hp.

Some children are not meant for this game.

But...

but...

your team had the higher mmr?

The Diamond player overcompensates and puts their team over the enemy in total MMR, despite them having the obviously least skilled player in that entire match.

Right, but had they won, the enemy team could complain with the "no fair, you had a diamond when we had a gold3"

I'd argue that neither the gold nor the silver player had any business in that match to begin with, both teams have legitimate grievances in that regard.

eh the poor diamond guy was probably in queue for 15 minutes to matchmaker got creative

The matchmaker got creative and gave them a shit game.

Great.

it looks like a fair match on paper though

1011001110001 votes

Depends on who's looking at the paper then.

anyone who can read numbers

1445 v 1463 is within 2% variance

The system can obviously tell what the MMR of each individual is so that it can get similar team MMRs, so there's no reason to say it can't avoid situations like this.

It's just coded not to care.

No, it just looks at MMR instead of rank.

That silver player has Gold2 MMR.

EDIT: Oh wow, I got trolled.

That was a flex game, and their solo/duo ranks where what was showing. In which case, the shown ranks have no relevance at all.

Yeah, I just noticed that too. This entire conversation now feels fairly irrelevant. :^|

What? Mid-High Gold is paired with low platinum, why shouldn't that be a thing? Seems pretty fair.
