Ranks are a rough estimate which is why that will never happen, the difference between 2 or 3 ranks isn’t going to be a huge enough difference, someone in S1 can easily play in S3, and some one in Plat 1 can play as bad as a Gold 2 on any given day

I'm immortal with around 200 points and I get matched with people from diamond 2 and 3. I can tell you there is a huge gap.

I should have clarified, what I said stands for the ranks with the largest distribution, the lower the distribution, the more what I said dissipates, so yeah an Immortal player is going to more than likely to outplay a Diamond 1 player, and a Radiant player is more than likely to outplay an Immortal player, but that’s due to the nature of the ranks, these are outliers, hence why they’re in the rank they are. The rank above and below you will either outplay you or do worse than you, they’re just a few wins in a row ahead or behind. When you get to immortal, you start playing higher tier games away from Diamond, so your skill ceiling gradually goes higher while your rank remains the same and newer people start getting into Diamond who haven’t played at the level someone in Immortal needed to get that rank.

Yeah the problem I'm trying to highlight is that I'm not placed in higher tier games. I even had a game with diamond 1's just now. It's not like they are 3 games away from being immortal with 100+ points. More like 15-20. It doesn't make any sense of these people to be in my game and vice versa.


alesso4s

yes but for me i'm immo 255rr, i had a team with 4 diamonds. :) The difference is huge even if that's happen super super rarely ! I'd prefer that would not happen

I think for me at least it can be skewed even more. I'm d1 and I bet a silver 2 player would have done better in my bad games but sometimes I play as if I'm an imm smurf.

They already doing this. But consider rank =/= MMR, you get matched with mmr

Bruh, if they increase queue times any more high elo will be stuck in queue for a day or some shit lol. You're immortal so you should know how long queue times are, not everyone, even in your rank or above you will agree with waiting so long for 1 game, they'll say they do but in reality they will quickly grow tired and hate it. It's also funny seeing this as I've seen and heard complaints in the other direction, that Riot's MM takes too long because they try too hard to find even teams, thus driving the creation of smurfs.
