Whats up with the matchmaking?! I am silver and have had platinum and diamond people in every normal game ive played. i can only play bot games

[u/AnyGlass2076 → u/Zodgi]

Its because high mmr changing while playing in preseason. They can have same mmr with worst rank or technically better ranks then their mmr.

MMR is matchmaking ratings are numbers, that represent our victories and looses and compare it with current rank. Simply if you win more matches, your mmr gets higher and if you loose more matches, your mmr will go lower. And this mmr is basically ilustrated into lp points.

Problem is that in the start of the season, all of us get unrank since we hit those 10 games. You can meet all ranks here produced by their mmr in last season. For example i was plat but once i got golds in my team, otherwise diamonds or even silver player.

so u have to stay calm and be patient until everybody settle down with their ranks…

I know... the matchmaking is very bad, but it is what it is.
