Why is Riot's matchmaking so bad?

Seriously. They really need to adjust their matchmaking. Why do cases like this come up? In this example the opposing team's lowest tier player is higher than our highest tier player. This is a ranked game by the way.

In my experience with other games, the better the matchmaking, the longer the queue times. To get a nicely balanced matched, you might have to wait a very long time.

I understand that, although there's no problem with putting the same 10 players in the game but arranging the teams differently.

If the 5 strongest of the 10 players are on the same team, the game isn't balanced. It could/should be 1&4&5&7&10 vs 2&3&6&8&9.

Of course, to the OP, the reason is mmr is not equal to Tier. Having 2 separate systems is confusing, but ultimately despite being in lower tiers riot thinks some players on your team are better than some on the other team.

Well we did wait about 15-20 minutes in queue before actually getting into the match. Longest queue I have ever been in actually haha.

That's crazy that you got matched up against so many higher guys. It's almost like you were in a premade 5 man, which will match you to another premade.

Ha. I wish. We got obliterated. I think it was like 8 kills to 42 or something like that. Top lane was the only lane that did even semi decent. They were up against the silver II

Where's that little bar that shows the total MMR of both teams?
