Flex - Queue, Leagues and me

Just again i had a game in Flex-Queue, 3 people. We are all arround Silver III, last Season arround Silver I - Gold III Now, we get matched with and against people from Plat+ up to Dia.. Don´t get me wrong, i like challanges and i try to learn something from these matches, but getting flamed from your dia toplaner for "feeding" your lane hard (aka dying 2 times cause enemys towerdive) is pretty frustrating.

Honestly, if i WOULDN´T loose the lane against a plat and a dia player, that would only prove one thing to me - that the ranking system is not working at all. If my enemys are freaking 3 LEAGUES above me how am i supposed to win the lane?

I just don´t get why matchmaking creates that much of a skill - difference. This is pretty much asking for toxic players, flaming and blaming and reporting. I can´t even blame my toplaner, he is right, i suck, and i lost my lane. BUT THATS WHY IM IN SILVER AND NOT IN DIA.

Whats up with the matchmaking? Anyone with me?

Btw, talking about the sample size - we are playing several games every day and getting Plat and Dia players in our / enemys team on a regular basis. Not EVERY game but quite frequently.

Ranked has always been like that, Everytime someone hangs rank over your head, i just think to myself, well, it's just an ignorant little kid with more time on their hands than i have lmao.

Ranked is simply put, the amount of time you put in this game. You can be the best LoL player in the world, and still lose to stupid shit, like AFK's, intentional feeders, trolls, premades, uneven matchmaking, dumb team compositions, the list goes on. These are all things completely out of your control that happen all the time.

When i did my very first placement matches on this account, i had 3 AFK's on my team. 3 out of 10 matches were auto lost. This was before remake btw, was i mad? VERY, VERY PISSSEDDDDDDD. Was there anything i could do about it? Nope... Not one fuckin thing. Hence, why i don't care about ranked in this game anymore. Iv'e beat much higher ranks than me on many many occasions. Golds, Dia's, Plats, everything but a challenger. Now when a unranked person can beat a plat or diamond, that says something about the ranked system.

Boosters, Getting Carried, Premades, AFK's, Team Composition, Intentional run it down midders, unfair matchups of ranks, all of these things effect ranked, and yet people think ranked means jack shit. If your not a challenger, IDC, your rank means nothing to me. It just shows me how immature that person is, if their only insult is rank, then they really just need to grow up as their brain is clearly not developed enough to think for themselves.

But yeah, Ranked sucks, the match making sucks, just know that on losses like that it's really not in your control and there is nothing you can do about it, just like how i had 3 matches with 1 or more AFK's in it. Not to mention the 4th match had a JG who ran down every single lane all match because he didn't get a good enough leash. That was 4 out of 10 matches i didn't stand a single fucking chance in from the very beginning xD.
