severely unbalanced matchmaking system

I just played a game where the enemy team had 525 more LP than my team did. They also had 747 more games played. now, we did have one smurf with only 16 games played but that 1 player isnt going to make up the difference of 7 HUNDRED and forty seven games played. The enemy team has much higher rank indicating that their MMR is also higher as well, but NOBODY KNOWS because riot doesnt tell us our MMR BECAUSE they dont want us to know how broken the system actually is. the enemy team ALSO has more experienced players creating a gap of 747 games played more than our team did. I am diamond 2, I was playing support. My adc was diamond 3. We had to lane against a s5 challenger adc who was playing lucian and absolutely dumping on my adc in trades. How can this ever possibly be considered a balanced matchmaking system with ALL of this going on? in just ONE game. its actually the biggest joke and riot knows it. and proof that they know it but don't want us to figure it out lies within them not telling us what our MMR actually is. nor do they tell us how they got this "number" that is supposed to make for a balanced game. Hey Riot, how about you fix your system cuz it is DEFINATELY NOT FAIR. or at least how about you tell us what our MMR actually is. Why are you hiding it?

You should understand by now that master and challenger are populated with less than a couple thousand people meaning that they have to be paired with diamonds to even get in a game. If not then they would be at 30 min Qs again.

i understand your pain, going through silver i get matched against plats, sure it's not a big deal for me, i can hold my own, but what happens to the rest of my team mates is just awful.

I'll be mid lane against some korean freaking anivia plat main, and bot lane will be 2 random folks put together against a duo of golds or higher on voice com coordinating trades resulting in a huge disadvantage for them and causing them to lose. Of course i can't wander if i can't kill the damn anivia, i don't want him to get any free farm or take my turret, and our jungle is a complete moron and never helps a single lane, and when he does, he dives and dies lmao.

This all of course results in a huge loss. Which makes me laugh because people always say play ranked if you want fair matches, I don't see how silvers vs plats and diamonds and golds on voice chat is fair at all :/
