Honestly, how is this acceptable in any means? Not faulting the high elo players, clearly they didn't have a choice but maybe riot needs to do something when the bottom 100,000th of players are playing vs rank 17 ?

I just replied on Twitter, but to try and get the message out:

We had a brief error with the matchmaking system last night that caused some players to be matched WAY below their actual skill - and unfortunately, this game was hit by that error. We're cleaning up the last couple impacts of the error, and should have it fully resolved within a couple hours.
