Does matchmaking seem a little off to anyone else lately?

It seems like there is more skill disparity between players since dynamic queue was released, when people do well they do really well and when the do bad they do really bad, there are hardly any close games.

This is from a game I was in today, the enemy team had a double ADC comp and my damage was more than both of theirs combined, http://i.imgur.com/8GhsJcW.png

has anyone else noticed this?

MMR drops maybe or they got boosted and had their MMR spike.

not personally but I have a jungler friend whose games vary like this. His last five games score:

8/3/15 0/10/4 11/9/11 9/5/9 5/0/15

he definitely loses hard when he loses.

There are multiple reasons

Leveling experience requirement was reduced to half, making it easier to level up to lv30
Dynamic boosting
Placement is broken(I had a Bronze V friend who made a smurf and got placed silver 3 i guess the placement system is broken)
Tutorial is trash
Match making is broken

That's more a problem with game balance with regards to snowballing, rather than matchmaking. If snowballing gets toned down anytime soon it will take more effort to get a lead, and so skill differences will be more noticeable than they are now.
