As title says. I've been queuing as Silver in Season 17, but non-stop get 3-stack plat and diamond players. How is this even happening? Are they all smurf cheating?

@NerfMyAimPlz Lol.Do you actually believe it’s harder to climb now ? 😂😂😂

@Oppos21 No I am saying that it’s for most people the same, I am in gold right now and my lobbies are also stacked with diamonds and master players, it’s just what it is for now.You can wait till the dust settles and more people did climb or you will have to accept that you get filled into higher lobbies if needed

@matzesingt Hehe no not if you identify as a rat, but for me who identify as a MAN, its probably harder =) So then his argument is even less valid since current diamonds are actually worse than form the old system =)@Oppos21 But how do you see your teammates and enemies current rank? I havent figured that out yet. Seems censored for me.Also, there are no "diamond lobbies" anymore. There are only lobbies that picks players of a certain ELO to the same match. So if its true that you only play with Plats and diamonds, then it means that your ELO is high enough to be placed in those lobbies and most likely are you compensated for that in your LP gains (skill, performance or whtever the new LP categories are called)

You can see the ranks after you die in the top right corner of the screen. Just "observe" the other players.Also, what is the point of "ranks" if it doesn't even determine the opponents I get and just places me in "appropriate" lobbies anyway? If you're going to just place me in Diamond lobbies, at least give me a Diamond rank... don't place players in lobbies that aren't even reflective of their "rank"! If I don't belong in Silver lobbies, then I'll easily climb out of it... LIKE HOW RANKED SHOULD WORK.

@Oppos21 S17 changed the matchmaking system. There's no longer a "<insert rank here> lobby". If you preform well, (and that's a consistent performance), it's suppose to start putting you into matches against more "skilled" players, including preds. (At least that's how the system was presented as), but it also heavily values placement, so you could just be placing high like these diamonds, and thus the system thinks there's no skill gapThe system is quite broken and flawed

I solo queue Silver and non-stop get Platinum and Diamond lobbies

@Oppos21
How do you know they are current platinums and diamonds? I hope you dont just look at their old badges which means nothing. An ex-platinum player from the old system might actually be skilled at a silver/gold level because previous seasons in was super easy to get to diamond4. Also, everyone was reset to approx bronze this new season so....

Their active rank is Plat and Diamond. The old ranks don't even show anymore.

Also, solo Silver shouldn't even be able to get into Platinum lobbies, let alone Diamond...
Rookie to Gold can get +/- 2 major ranks; Plat and above can only get +/- 1 major rank.

I can give you video evidence that:
A) I am solo queue;
B) I am Silver;
C) My lobbies are current rank Platinums and Diamonds.

Its normal for solo Silver players to get current Diamonds in their lobbies??? Hello? That should be IMPOSSIBLE.

@Oppos21 No it isn’t because the pool of diamonds etc is still to small to get a decent queue time, so the lobby’s get filled up with lower ranked people

So you're saying that I'm the ONLY Silver player that they could find so I keep getting Platinum and Diamond lobbies where I'm the ONLY Silver in it.... like, they can't even find Golds?!
