So I am currently plat 2 with a 53% wr and getting consistently ranked games with a large skill disparity in the teams. I’ve had multiple games now where a silver player makes their way into my ranked games. Normally I would assume that they must have some insane wr on their ACC and high mmr, only to find out that all except one instance are sub 50%. I don’t know how this is happening but it makes the games feel so random where my silver player will just get gapped hard and they don’t even know why they are in the game in the first place. (Yes my score in the first example is horrible, I was losing it at this point.)
My unfortunate top malph having to lane against someone an entire tier above him
unlucky ryze had to play against emerald 4 mid
he didn’t have a negative wr though
This game is just a mess when you look at rank, silver xerath had to play against me in plat 1
The malphite looks like he had high silver/low gold MMR in prior seasons so that’s the equivalent of high gold/low plat this season. He has low games played so yeah it just looks like a silver being mistmatched. https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/GiantsBoss-NA1
The ryze clearly had high gold/low plat MMR a couple seasons back. It’s clearly an alt account that they use to play in silver/gold. If he won his lane vs the Emerald 4 brand you would be like “oh obvious smurf” https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/Iveness-NA1
Stop focusing on stats and focus on the gameplay. So much easier to scapegoat than to examine your own mistakes and improvement goals.
