Ranked Matchmaking feels so unfair

I've never hit higher than Diamond 4 (currently silver 1) and yet every match I play I'm up against masters/predators.  My KDR is barely hovering over 1.  I've always enjoyed a challenge, but I have no business being in some of these lobbies.  

Anyone else dealing with the same thing? 

I have not enjoyed Ranked since Season 17 where the entire Ranked matchmaking system was changed.  There is no sense of progression anymore, it's just hard mode from silver to diamond every single match.

  • season 17 was terrible. 18 was at its prime because it was beginning to get a bit of a balance. The problem is these stupid trials that actually hard capping at silver / gold 1. 

    Im sitting at plat 1 and just getting into trial… fail… trial fail.. win a game TO GET TO TRIAL … fail .. and it’s just stupid. It’s the worst thing all because of a knee * reaction where people were crafting med kits mid round 3 to placements. You know what respawn how about we just kill replicators in the ring after 10 seconds and they burn up? Easy fix. Don’t have to do some convoluted things that you is punishing for 90% the community that wasn’t even doing the “exploit”/afk rank climb. It’s its so bad. But sadly they probably keep this crap and try to tweak it and NO ONE WANTS THIS RESPAWN. Get rid of this dog poo. 

    but the queues are fine on JP server but I get rookie 3 on my team as a plat 1… fml. And can’t duonwith friends because they hard capped silver 1 . Fml this game gets sillier each season. Go back to season 18 and tweak from there. Ty

  • @OgMastaFlexyeah the matchmaking with mmr is just feeding plat + player to 3stacks master/pred because they don't care about the solo experience.
    same * since s17 that's why it's unplayable atm.

    Tried one ranked yesterday , wiped on the first PoI by a 3stacks chinese cheaters => alt f4

  • Watched yesterday as TSM Mande soloQ grinded 9 hours straight just the trials to Masters. It kinda felt like the MM was rigged to keep him playing as long as he did. He would IGL & Kill leader the team to perfect position for endgame and then have that team run amok to fight some random team without no reason. All they had to do is wait and hold the teams off. Reason why I said the MM felt rigged is that he would end up winning multiple games during this 9 hour session but those were just the ones leading up to the trials so they didnt count. You could really see man was mentally exhausted on many occasions but ended up winning the trial match after 9 hours of non stop trying. 

    Similarly I was 20 points short of Bronze to Silver trials. Won the match quite easily and had a first go at the trials and it was totally different game. 

    So it feels like its scripted to keep you playing and personally I dont like that. Us average joes dont have that much time to grind and since it feels scripted/rigged it kills the interest (I am not master level player anyways).
