An image that says it all about the state of Ranked

I just don't see how a working MM could possibly be creating the ranked lobby seen in this image unless it's like Sao Paulo server at 3 AM or something.

My bud and I have been slowly pecking at ranked this split.  I haven't been really looking out to notice trails or anything, but once he hit Gold and I hit S1, our lobbies went from 0-60 real quick like.  Random thirds have mainly been liabilities with the occasional decent team mate.  Honestly we are not really looking to climb fast (pushing mid game fights instead of focusing on rotating and avoiding for placement) as we are playing ranked to get out of the absolutely absurd pubs games we get.  Now we're back in them.

Yeah that's horrible.  The matchmaking is getting worse, not better.

Defenders in the forum pretending there’s nothing wrong with the game saying you all should stop complaining about the current state of the game.

@Cro_Pittt below is a plat II champion squad from last night. Belgium 1 server between 2-3am ish, pre made pred stack all top 500's.

I've tried London server and Frankfurt servers too, with the same result. There is almost no waiting time and I can have up to a 78 ping.

I can make no headway, even with full on creeping, it appears I am hard stuck now. 

Well all I can say after seeing these two pictures is that Ranked play is broken.

From what I know about rank play there is absolutely no way a master/pred ranked player should be able to be matched with any players below Diamond from what I understand.

Ranked is as per EA supposed to be played at similar skill levels Gold vs Gold OK, Pred vs Master OK. 

Bronze vs pred or Silver vs Pred or for that matter Diamond is just bonkers.

There should be no way that basically all ranked levels (except Rookie) from Bronze to Pred should in any way be in the same lobby.  

Looking at the below pictures makes MM look sad in fact it looks like it was thrown out.

Pic 1: From what I can tell there were the following ranks represented in that match, the #2 ranked pred at the time and they played against the following:

1x silver, 9x Gold, 16x Plat, 5x Diamond and 2x Master/Pred. 

Why at all was a silver in the preds lobby for that matter the golds and plats do not belong there either.

Pic 2: From what I can tell there were the following ranks represented in that match, a Diamond ranked player, played against the following:

1x Bronze, 3x Gold, 4x Plat, 7x Diamond and 7x Master/Pred. 

Why at all was a Bronze player a lobby with preds in it for that matter the golds and plats do not belong there either.

EA this is not fair play, there is absolutely no way the MM should be doing this to players. Tighten up the MM Ranked should be max one rank above or below for a team to form and should only play vs max one rank above or below. 

Please please fix the MM we all beg of you to do this EA. 

We love the game but no one likes playing Gold vs Pred or even Silver vs Plat, the skill gaps are just way to much.

@hayhor the seers seem to be easier to avoid, a valk late stage impossible, but the bloodhounds seem more prevalent late stage and are much more difficult to avoid than previously. Or perhaps more persistent 😃
