The New League Matchmaking system is extremely inconsistent.

Taking a break from League since season 6, I've started my climb once again to see a refreshing UI with an all-new ranked system.

The first 3 matches I've played happened to all go horribly.

These are the links to the first 3 games:

There seems to be one repetitive pattern: In every game, there is a laner in our team in a completely different league. One image shows our jungle in silver playing against a high gold. One image shows our ADC - who happens to be mid silver - going against a mid-gold. One image shows our top laner, a S1, going against a Gold 2.

Now I'm very aware of the MMR and that I also happen to be matched up against Gold players. Due to this, I checked out the match history of every single player that was matched wrongly. News flash, in all their past 10 games, they were losing majority of their games (like 8-9). And they were playing badly in every single one. From when I last played, even if your MMR was good, you would maybe go against someone a few divisions up - like If I was Silver 3, I'd go against a Silver 1. Now, this seems to be a repetitive thing. Can someone please tell me if I'm just going through a bug?

Huh? It hasn't changed. Maybe you just didn't notice it before, but it's been possible for many seasons for your MMR to be much higher or lower than your rank and your LP to be adjusted accordingly.
