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

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....
- @NerfMyAimPlz Lol.
Do you actually believe it’s harder to climb now ? 😂😂😂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 =)
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.
@matzesingtNo it's not about to be hard to climb but not having fun climbing from lower ranks because you get shreaded by Diamonds and Platinum at your Silver rank just because you play good at preliminaries and Respawn would know that if they did not lay off their veteran testing team!
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.- @Oppos21 That’s normal
Its normal for solo Silver players to get current Diamonds in their lobbies??? Hello? That should be IMPOSSIBLE.
Because in the top right corner when spectator random teammate is diamond 1 and I’m silver 3
