Feel like Riot is forcing us into Solo Q

This is mainly only if you want to play the Rift. I've done well in Solo Q tonight but I decided to quit while I was ahead and go have some relaxing games in draft pick norms. Literally every single game I'm playing I get maybe one plat on my team and the rest is silver and bronze and then the enemy team has like maybe one bronze and then a couple of diamonds, a plat or two, and a gold. What the hell with that match making? Is my plat a fucking god? Last I checked Diamond was higher than plat. This matchmaking is ridiculous outside of Solo Q. How the hell can i hope to have a fun game when my team don't understand macro play basics, and the enemy team is running it like an LCS game.

This matchmaking is dumb as fuck.

Again if you are going to downvote at least give a reason to it. You aren't really denying that the matchmaking system is flawed. I don't think a person on this board would logically agree that a game with 1 plat, 2 silvers, and 2 bronze is fair against the likes of 2 diamonds, a plat, a gold, and a bronze.

Ranked Flex, Ranked Solo, Normal Draft, TT, ARAM, etc all have different MMRs. Diamonds normally play a lot of ranked, so their normal MMR was probably near the Plat's.

Still doesn't explain though why the serious discrepancy in mmr between my team and theirs.

How long was the queue? You posted this thread at 5AM for me, 3AM Pacific, so there's less players up now. As the queue runs it opens up the MMR gap too in favour of actually getting a game. Also, it's not unusual for someone who doesn't play much ranked to be silver but through playing a ton of normals have the same normal MMR as a diamond and get matched vs them constantly.

Queue was fairly quickly. About a minute given the time of day. However wouldn't you slide one or two bronze from my side over or split the diamonds? It makes sense

I'd have to see the actual game tbh. I'm pretty sure it builds the teams and then tries to find the opponents. Things like premades, win rate in normal games, and normal games played all skew this different ways. Current rank has nearly no effect on this.
