Ranked losers q

So is there a reason why in ranked when im PLAT 1 am going against Grandmasters and Masters in my ranked games? My team consisted of diamonds and plats. What is the point of playing ranked if im just going to obviously lose? The enemy team had a GM1 player, what the hell is going on???

It’s just your turn to bite the bullet. Match-maker decided you’ve had your share of fun and it’s now time for someone else to. ā€œBut in total it’s 50/50 so looks balanced!ā€ - that’s the devs logic these days, so here goes.

Inb4 ā€œForced 50% winrate is not realā€ keyboard warriors appear.

I think a lot of opposing sentiment comes from the word ā€œForcedā€ because many of them don’t believe there’s any reasonable explanation as to why devs would make it. And I also don’t thing there’s a reason for devs to do it.

However, there’s a nice saying:

Never attribute to malice what could be equally explained with incompetence

So if we interpret the ā€œForcedā€ as in ā€œdue to circumstancesā€ rather than ā€œill will of devsā€ it all makes so much more sense. And there’s no arguing against those ā€œcircumstancesā€ when the posts about plat in GM lobby being a norm of the day.

Forced 50/50 winrate keyboard warrior here. It’s not real. (I have no evidence of this)

I am not even talking about the current match making clown fiesta thats happening where plats get q’d with masters/gms or Bronze/silver players with plats/diamonds, I am talking about winning 5+ games and then getting absolute hotdog water teammates.

Yeah but that’s exactly how it’d work if it’s a complete random players distribution. It will be all over the place and ā€œstreaks of (un)luckā€ are expected to happen when no proper match-making is in place.
