My problem with ranked teams.

Let me start off by saying my friends and I vary in elo from bronze 5 up to silver 3. We have 2 ranked teams that we have palyed on with various groups of people. With these teams we have played all of our placement games and are in Bronze/silver elo. But it seems to me most of the teams we get pitted against consist of High golds, platinums, and even once a team had 3 diamond players. This makes playing ranked teams very unfun and even stress inducing. We understand that the game is about strategy, comps etc etc but when you have a team of bronze against a team of plats, for the higher elo team its like shooting fish in a barrel. I feel like the current team ranking system is a bit screwy (i understand you guys do what you can) but there should be some means of pitting you against people/teams ROUGHLY the same elo.

My team is comprised of bronzes and silvers, and last game we were up with a team that had like 4 silvers and a platinum. The system might be a bit screwy.

Yea its pretty messed up just played like 3 games in a row where the other team either had a majority plat players or diamond players and our team is barely silver

I agree 100% with this, it seems like i get one or 2 good ranked teams games then the next game you get pitted against a team with one or more people that are SEVERAL divisions above the entire team. and when the stomp all over they just take whatever LP you just earned. I also have a problem with the sheer saltiness of these people that are teeing off on us bronze and silvers, most of them just trash talk and constantly taunt and badger you to the point of incredible frustration... it truly makes me despise the ranked system as it is. If you want to play with your plat and diamond friends, do it in normal don't ruin the ranked experience for others because you want an easy game and/or cant deal with playing with people at your skill level.

5's MMR is not influenced by solo queue MMR.

Play a lot more and it'll sort of balance out.

But it is dumb that they aren't.
