Ranking System
Riot, I enjoy playing League of Legends thoroughly but I need to address your match making system.
Recently I've been queuing for solo ranked (I am currently in Silver III), and I've noticed a good portion of my games will bring in Bronze Divisions as well as Silvers.
I don't know if this was your intention to make the speed of finding ranked matches faster, but it throws off the flow of game play among the players.
Bronze Divisions tend to have a negative and one-man-army perspective on things when they don't win lane/people on their team start dying early game. While Silver Divisions have a little more optimism when it comes to late game. (That isn't the case for every Bronze/Silver player, just a good majority I have played with.)
Teamwork is key for this game, and if you place Silvers with Silvers things tend to work out. But if you start to throw a couple Bronze players in with the Silvers it doesn't always end out with an enjoyable game, whether it be a win or loss.
I don't know if this only occurs with Silver/Bronze divisions or any of the higher divisions as well. Not a major concern, just was curious as to why this has been happening.
I personally would prefer being matched with Silvers since I am Silver (The best case scenario would be Bronze with Bronze, Silver with Silver, and so on with all the other divisions), but I can see that it would require a lot longer queue for matches as well as not necessarily making any things better.
Thanks for your time, Eludus
