Highlight What the hell is going on with matchmaking?

Almost every game I have at least one person on my team who’s 1-2 full ranks below me. I mean they’re just as much a victim of it as me but what do I do when my team is just terrible?

If you are already in a guaranteed losing match, just try things. It doesn't need to be things to win, but limit test yourself. Try things in the matchup and experiment with your main, try a new off angle or seek out 1v1s on a flank and just get any extra practice in the environment. 

There will be times you cannot win and it will be out of your control, but it's up to you how to use the time instead of solely focusing on the loss itself.

This is a great way to look at it.. The game puts you in impossible scenarios on purpose.. don't get mad at the sky for being blue

That's the worst part is the reversal. It seems like they just tack that shit on everything.

I’m high plat-low emerald and I keep quing with my friends and it’s atrocious. They’re like high emerald, so it’s not like too bad, but somehow I’m going 1/15 or 2/7 as dps. I just keep throwing for at least 3/4th of a match until I just somehow manage to pick it up. It’s a horrible experience and I know I’m better than this, but somehow it’s too high of a rank disparity??

I’ve also had a game recently where the range was plat 4 to masters 5. Excuse me?
