How is this okay? (photos)

@Alphabets I'm not disagreeing with you, it's completely bonkers that you're matched up like that in ranked. Sorry, I should've made that clear, of all the people here who talk about the state of the game and how the devs have handled it, you will quite literally find me the last person to make excuses for them. 

You're right though, there is absolutely no difference between the current matchmaking system and just having the entirety of ranked be completely random. There's not enough people playing the game, and it's no ones fault EXCEPT the developers. They think that the community being mad at them is a joke, and you see it in the interview too where a developer says:

"CG: I have a kind of a funny thing that we joke about in the office, when we’re talking about things like the Pathfinder nerf, we use SBMM as a scale, like; ‘how upset are people gonna be, SBMM angry, or…?’ [laughs]"

I wish we could curse on the boards, right now primarily because I'm drunk I think, and also because it's hard to convey the depth of frustration that the developers have created among their players easily. Their game is a joke, and they've made it that way, and when the community is upset about it, they laugh at us, and they think it's no ones fault except ours. It's hard for me to praise anything about this game, what with the history of its development, and the developers track record.
