PSA: Don't queue up for Ranked right now, Matchmaking is unplayable

This morning I have had the worst matchmade games I've ever experienced playing LOL. Just look at my team's rankings. It's not intended as flame to anyone, but a 55% winrate BRONZE 2 person, should never be in the same game as a 63% winrate PLAT 4. I can't even duo with the division above him (silver).

Yesterday, my last loss netted me -15 LP; today, I queue up, get this game, and lose 26 LP?? The Shen on the enemy team (who was also plat) said he only gained 11 LP?

I'm so baffled. I think something with the new patch just completely fucked up the matchmaking (even worse than before). I've seen other posts about challengers being put in plat games.

Any idea what's going on right now?

EDIT: also worth noting, my queue time was less than a minute for this match.

Something definitely seems messed up here. Looking at your match history, it seems like your average game rank has been around Plat 3 or Plat 4 (with the exception of 1 Gold 2 average game yesterday) and then this game all of the sudden?

It's gotten noticeably worse. Matchmaking threads are snowballing. Someone at riot needs to wake the fuck up.

https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/match/euw/4419982288#participant3 Enemy team had 4 Gold 4 player while we had only 1 and one unranked player was on our team which auto filled to support role. In the end, my team threw the game with bad baron call when all of their team was alive. It is so disgusting to trying to carry all alone every game so stressful and unfun.

Another game, a group of racist german players in solo que refused to help just because I didn't know their language. Really hate to playing with Germans now. Why can't play with other English speaking players [sg-janna]

Yep Last night I played two matches and they both were MASSIVELY out of balanced. (Enemy team all Gold, my team a mix of Bronze and Iron and me in silver) WTF
