I was on the two Gold's team (the Silver II, doing my placements). Everyone is always complaining about getting unfairly matched against a team they can't beat, so I'd like to take this opportunity to post a game where the obvious mismatch was to my advantage.

Stow the confirmation bias and look at the rest of your matches, and you'll often see that for every unfair match you have, there's one where the opponent was on the receiving end of that. You'll also see matches that you would've said "Well they're all higher ranked, we lose", but you won.

Higher Division or rank doesn't mean More skill

I've had games where unranked played against diamonds. It all depends on ur mmr and also where u were placed last season.
