For reference:
LO already knows this is broken and at the very least has ideas on a fix. There is no way to spot fix this before 3.5 without further derailing the RIOT release and 3.5 Engine release. While waiting sucks, once 3.5 is live the rest of the issues we are having should be easier for LO to tackle as working with the code will be less "cleaning up someone else's shit" and more "tuning what we know."
What LO is doing with 3.5 on top of improving the engine is literally cleaning up someone else's shit.
Merged.
As easily as I get rolled back into Bronze by Gold and Silver R255 players, I feel it's safe to say I'm a low tier Silver player at ~R90. When matchmaking works I have no problem maintaining my own Silver status Win or Lose.
Now what kills me is that even when I'm Bronze ~R90, I still get matched with R255 Golds, and Golds that have obviously Dethreated to either just play the game or squash noobs. If that's not evidence Matchmaking is FUBAR, I don't know what is.
And people wonder why I spend more time tinkering with the editing kiosks and chilling in Social.
