I 100% agree. Valorant’s matchmaking system is so fucking ass, the devs only care about making money from bundles instead of fixing their game. Im gold and I get diamonds and ascendants on the enemy team while genuinely brain dead players in my team. To make it worse, most of the time these teammates instalock duelist and throw the game. The devs really need to fix their fuckin game instead of doing jackshit

so true, the better u r the worse your teammates are and the better your enemies are.
playing better doesnt increase ur rank, just increase ur enemies level and decrease ur teammates level.
but rank stays the same.
it works also backwords, so if u throw, u get better teammates.
so just throw. rank means shit. u can have bronz player playing like plat and bronz player playing like iron.
my advice - when it happens, do a few games with zero kills, see how ur teammates suddenly gets better.
also the more u play the worse teams u get.
i think riot wants u to play, not to be fair. so if u dont play for a long time u get really good teams. if u play all day, u will get worst teams.

Im bronze 1 peak bronze 2. Ive been put in games with ascendant peak immortal players. Its not fun when you just get one tapped so often. Im clearly not at their level so why am i being put in their lobbies.

    MoonMan They seem to prioritise matchmaking times over anything else outside of ranked. It's really crappy that they don't even have soft SBMM for any mode whatsoever.

      Statikal75 no, I am s1 right now too. And in unrated I will be going against platt diamond and ascendant on the other team. I have seen as high as immortal 2 in the same lobby as me a silver 1. In ranked it is slightly better, but I always seem to be fighting people at least gold, up to platt 3.

        that's why i stopped playing ranked match, almost every single match was imbalanced, either the enemy team has smurf account / boosting service, or my team just completely newbie. Yes, almost every single match I ended up in those situation, I rarely got a neck-to-neck match. It's like 1 : 10 ratio, 1 good match on every 10 imbalance matches

        The game right now is almost unplayable. Why is a Bronze 2 Sage instantly headshotting me the moment they see me? I know I'm not the best at the game—hence the low rank—but it genuinely feels like Riot doesn't want me to rank up. I get one balanced match, but the other team remakes, and then the next 10 games feel like I’m playing in a tournament against top-tier players fighting for a multi-million dollar prize, like their lives depend on it.

        Not to mention the horribly unbalanced matchmaking: my team has 2 Silvers and 3 Bronzes, while the enemy team has 2 Golds and 3 Silvers.
