I remember the days when matches only got crazy when you were queuing with a friend who was 1-2 rank brackets higher/lower than you.

For the most part, being within 2-3 ranks of your friends led to some good matchmaking, with crazy matches (silvers against high golds/plats) only happening if a silver and a high gold queued together.

Now we have this.

your actual rank is a hidden value now lol. the shown rank does not matter anymore. game sucks

They removed MMR restrictions in groups. Maybe that's part of your issue.

I've only hit plat 2 and I play against and sometimes with diamonds and champs like one time a guy that was champ 6 times he had a 1.6 kd and his friend was a champ about 3 times with a 2.5kd like people that hit these high ranks multiple times yet I get to play against them crazy
