So I'm a silver 1 player and as you would expected, I am not really that great at the game but I still really enjoy it until ep 5 is relased. The matchmaking this season is so unfair that I can't even bring myself to play the game anymore. Normally you would expect that a silver 1 player looby would have people around the same skill level but no. The game keep pairing me up with plat and diamond players for no reason, but things keep getting worse and worse. For the last few game I've been paired up with even ascendant players now and my team is all bronze, silver and gold. The unfair matchmaking has been an issues for me ever since the start of the new ep. Now I can't even enjoy a simple unrated game but instead have have to bust my butt off to help my teammates which are normally bronze to fight against plat/diamond players. Right now there are absolutely no sign that Riot game will fix this problem in the near future. Also this doesn't just occurs to me when I'm solo queuing, cuz it's also the same even when I queue up with my friends that are around the same rank.

    That is true. But they don't want to make any changes. They think that the game is IDEAL. But to be honest - they just need the ingame purchases)))) Let's ignore such "game devs"!

    I don't think it's possible for Silver 1 players to pair with Bronze or Diamond players, either you lied about your rank or the people your playing with have lied about their rank

      It is %100 possible. I'm bronze 2 and constantly get ascendants in my games. Im thinking about quitting unrated. Whats the point in playing unrated if its going to throw 2 diamonds and an ascendant in my lobbys. Team had to surrender 4x in a row to even get a descent match up. Riot basically doesn't care anymore. They pretty much only care about the pro scene and store purchases. The lack of any development on the game compared to others like league says a lot about their priority's.

      Fazzelen Yes I do, what servers are you on? It is possible for silvers to end up with bronzes but not silvers and diamonds unless there is a 5 stack

        Same here in bronze. I'm bad at the game but I know it can be fun if I'm matched with other bronze players. It nearly never happens. I always get matched with silvers, even silver 2 and 3. I have never been silver, maximum was a short peak in Bronze 3, I am last of my team 90% of the time, get insulted for being bronze, get insulted for "throwing" when I'm just trying my best. I can't get out of bronze because once I'm about to reach bronze 1/iron 3 they add a smurf Reyna in my game who carries me until I'm again in bronze 2 with silvers / former golds in enemy team.

        It's a rant because I know for sure they dont give a fuck. They have a prerecorded answer when you confront them, they say "your MMR is the same" while they can clearly see the enemy is 30/8/0 and you are 2/12/0

        I played in EP4-5, Matchmaking was fair.

        I came back now, it is horrendous. Garbage devs dont fix matchmaking, i am silver1, and get paired up with diamond plat players. Fu** the valo devs, i would love to see this franchise fail. F888n moron mfs.

        HuyMichael yeah. Ive been on the game 6 weeks. The smurfing in this game is next level, not to mention the perversity, and meowing in the mic. Ive made it to gold promo game twice, and fallen back to silver one both times due to smurf runs. Silver players with 3.5 or better KDRs is quite obvious. One time i had an ascendent smurf(his words) on my team. We still lost, they had two players better than him. We were all laughing about it while we cried. Lol 🙂. Think im gona go back to overwatch. Xdefiant should be cool too. Apex is just too muxh time spent doing nothing.

          Just 5 stacked with some fuys in the val lfg on discord. Got smurfed on hard. Everyone logged off. Me? Loading up planetside2.

          no lol its not possible . your enemies cant be ascendant if you are silver 1 you just play bad or dont play the game enough and think your teammates are bad when its you

            its realy the worst mm all time. 🙁 im bronze 1 way to iron 3 and one enemy makes 50 kills. i dont think he use hacks but why i get so monster enemys? there is no logic. the game is destroying itself

            I agree and now it's even worse with the new daily mission system. Swiftplay used to be fun and casual, but now it's become try hard because you need to win rounds to get daily mission progress.

            DawidJeziorski I mean you say this acting like this game isn't riddled with smurfs ranging from Iron to gold. I mean there are websites where you can buy new accounts for like $5 for the sole purpose of smurfing in the low elo ranks. ELO hell is real and smurfs are the reason why

              HuyMichael sadly when ever reset happens riot thinks its smart to have a asc player who looses his rank games to play against silvers and same with diamond and plat. nothing you can do they just dont care to make the game fair by stopping such declines in rank best suggestion boycott riot for not just this but the skin prices as well
