I'd really like it if riot would fix their match up system, because it's trash.

Just played an ARAM game with a lower level friend, he's sub 20. I get into the game and LoLWiz shows me we're playing against a platinum 5. The other remaining players on the team were also sub 20, with a level 13 as low. Our matchup is against a platinum 5, a silver 1, silver 3, an bronze 2, and a level 13. So i'm like, "nice matchup."

The platinum 5 is nidalee and she is absolutely destroying all the low levels on my team and laughing, and I'm like "yeah this is really fair, the match with a platinum." I see the level 13 tristana is destroying people as well. He says, "two platinums, trist is one as well." The whole time these guys are laughing and having fun while my teammates are just getting pissed off how badly the game matched us.

Two problems our team should never have even played against a platinum, let alone an entire team of ranked players, and of course the fact that two jerk-offs can load up the game, and one can play on a smurf so they can be matched against low levels so they can have fun destroying players just learning the game.

I literally could not do anything because my team mates were always dead. At the end the both of them had between them almost 60 kills.

Why the hell doesn't Riot address this nonsense? Seriously, they were laughing and having a jolly old time, saying, "It's ARAM shut the F up." Except, so what? the game was a blast for those two trashy asses, but for everyone else it was miserable. The game is supposed to be fun for everyone, and since when is it ok to get such a lopsided game that the only people having fun are the two platinums who like beating lower level players?

It's called bullying and I'm sure it's as familiar to them IRL as it is in the game based on their attitudes.

They need to fix their bs system for matchups so that someone that is ranked that high should not be able to take advantage of new players as easily as these two jerks were.

To make matchmaking in ARAM based on solo/queue rankings? How stupid would that be? That guy isnt platinum in ARAM. ARAM doesnt have rankings. ARAM is just troll mode for laughs.

Actually, I'm pretty sure ARAM has a hidden mmr. However, like Normals, it's separate from any other game mode. Also, like normals, there are no level/rank restrictions on who you can premade with, so you can end up with some weird, extreme matchups.

ARAM has its own MMR. Mmr decays when you don't play. So yes, while it sucks it is completely possible to go against a high elo player in an ARAM match because they may not play often.

They can't make a global MMR because that would make things worse. Why is simple. People would throw games to bomb their mmr in normal games then climb in rank. For those who wouldn't try this, it would also kill the queue times.
