Ranked is so messed up

This didn't happen to me but i was watching a stream where this guy was a Master, and he got two Platinum IV teammates. What's the point of having tiers if you get in the same lobby people with a ver...

@apostolateofDOOM I'm inclined to think it's the latter to be honest.

Punishing solo players is essentially punishing the majority of your playerbase, which is counterproductive to say the least.

I think people have been put off ranked this season due to things such as the NoReg issues we had at the start of the season and the random server screws happening where you get continuously rubberbanded. Which all impacted the game at a point where ranked is usually at it's busiest.

So there are probably a lot less people playing at the upper echelons of ranked at the moment dur to starting later hence the weird matchmaking we're seeing.

@MandatoryIDtagThey didn't have a problem punishing path mains. :P

Previous seasons I would get put into the same servers of similar ranked but now they are in different matches so I don't know if it's to reduce q times or what but I agree for the reasons you mentioned there are probably a lot less right now.

@apostolateofDOOM I have a feeling pathy will be seeing some more changes in the future anyway,and not necessarily negative ones. 😛
As for the topic at hand it really is hard to say lol,we don't have access to the data respawn have so it's literally just speculation unfortunately. :3

  @MandatoryIDtagI know from previous experience EA games like to do things intentionally as social experiments so I'm hoping they collect their data and revert it back asap because as things stand I'm hardly playing ranked or the game in general atm.
  Edit: @E9ine_AC I'm in diamond having bronze and silver in my team at times although most often golds so if that's intentional then i don't know what to say.

    @apostolateofDOOM That is not the system was coded to not allow people to ready up with such rank difference the button should be greyed out completely unable to que the match. What i think happen is someone in your bracket invited a pre made member who then was placed in yalls lobby because he did meet the bracket range of orig party.
    
    this is not the case with you this should never happen. I have done little bit ranked this season and ive yet to be placed in a lobby not in my bracket. It may i guess depend on the server your on and population levels during that time its just forcing matches to have them started.
