I don't understand matchmaking at all. How do I get a gold 4 and Plat 5 duo against me in my Silver 1 promos? The mmr of both 'should' surpass mine. Yet there I was having to compete with a plat 5 and gold 4 just to get promoted to silver 1. Not to mention the rest of the other team was no lower than gold 5. I was the only Silver in the game. It makes no sense.

Was just about to come here to post this.

Some friends and I were just playing some team builder. I am the highest at Silver V, and we got pitted against a Plat V and 2-3 Golds in the second game.

Got rolled both times. I seriously don't understand how that is supposed to be even remotely fair to play against.

Honestly I think that is just how promos work. I had a diamond player in every promo game to get to plat, and I'm only now regularly seeing them in Plat 2-3.
