(2020) It makes absolutely zero sense that the matchmaking uses MMR to match people but whether you can duoq with somebody depends on your respective leagues

I was d3 with 80% winrate last season, did my first placement match, everybody in that game was d4-d2 in the current season, was provisionally put in gold1 for whatever reason >:D and now I could theoretically duoq with people who are in silver and have actual silver MMR because gold can duoq with silver even though the MMR difference would be insane and the games would be a complete clusterfuck

Fantastic system

I don't know why they are so scared of letting people find out their true mmr

Because it will show the flaws of their matchmaking system. With the current system, if the two teams average rank was so far apart, it's easy to cover it up with "Both teams has the same hidden value (MMR)". But if people can actually see that value and there is a big mismatch, it will not look good for them.

So Rito is holding me back after all
