Why are people acting like the cycled mode is ranked?

Seriously, not only is it not ranked, it's not even a normal. It's a pointed nonsense mode where nothing matters so that you can do some nonsense thing just for fun. Yet people in it act the way you'd expect somebody would in Ranked.

It doesn't matter people. That's not the point of those modes. Just enjoy yourself, and let everybody else do the same.

And really, there's not much cause for toxicity in ranked either. You do realize that you should be winning exactly 50% of the time? If your win-rate is about 50% then you have nothing to complain about, and those people you complain about are at your skill level. You make the same mistakes they do. That's the whole point of the matchmaking system.

I agreed until you tried to say match making is actually balanced. A fresh level 30 in a game with golds and platinums are not on the same skill level

Matchmaking is balanced. It's MMR, not ranking. If a fresh LVL 30 has the same MMR as a Gold and Platinum (which you dont face people that high as a fresh lvl 30 anyways, but if you got ur mmr that high than props to you), then it's fair

Okay believe what you want but I know at least 5 people who faced gold and platinums when they first reached level 30, and before 30. I also know people ranked gold who get level 20s in their games.

Lol right, the people posting weekly screenshots complaining about matches with 8 golds and 2 fresh level 30s are just making it up

That should only happen in placement matches, which do not have the same matchmaking as normal Ranked or Normals.

Matchmaking after placements is balanced. Depending on how their placements went an individual might have some climbing or dropping to do before hitting their actual level of course.

It probably does happen in Normals sometimes, because Normals are more "willing" to prioritize short queues and good connections at the cost of balanced mmr than Ranked would be.
