Match Making

I don't understand why I am being placed with silver players in Ranked Flex that are Silver in Solo queue. This simply doesn't make sense or is quite fair. This game is supposed to be a team oriented game so why does my team always consist of bronze/silvers in this new ranked system. You guys should incorporate ranked solo queue as well when matching people up in this new mode. This is simply ridiculous that we have to play with this type of players. I was first placed in Gold V which wasn't that bad but when I played my "last provisional" I was placed in Silver II and now I'm getting teams that solo queue ranking is Silver. This is really sad that your company has this much money and abilities to control this game and can't even make a stable matchmaking system. Im currently Plat 5 in solo queue.

Hey I finished plat 1 season 5. But you know what? Life happens. I couldn't play for a while. And I decayed down to gold 1. And before I knew it, season was over. Now Flex put me in Silver going against diamonds and masters with low ranked teammates in comparison but somehow we had the higher MMR. I agree that matchmaking is pretty stupid but the reason why this is happening is because everyone's MMR reset to 1200. Even after placement; most people will have MMR around that mark so you will get all kinds of people in your games ranking from trash 500 MMR worthy bronze to Challenger.

Once I finish this 2nd set of placements I'll prob end up in bronze.

I don't know why this such an issue now, games are usually unbalanced. I can go on OP.gg and predict games with very high accuracy.

Exactly! Which is why League isn't a game of who plays the game better and works more as a team anymore. It is now a game of chance; if you get a good teammate then you automatically win. League is suppose to be a game where each team has an equal amount of chance to win with equal amount of skill between each team. Im not saying that they're aren't going to be people better/worse than me but overall TEAMS should at least be of equal skill. None of this retarded matchmaking where one team has a diamond player and the other has a bronze but just because the bronze placed well, the diamond has to be in the same game. People work hard for their rankings and riot rewards them by making them play with people who are inexperienced and it ruins the fun of the game. It doesn't make sense to place someone lower than that persons elo, then make them play with people that don't belong in the same game.
