Noticed some odd matchmaking lately, especially the games right before ranking up to Divine 5, and also after I reached Divine 5. Squared in red are me.
I saw that post about impact scores in matchmaking, and I was on a good winstreak with MVPs, etc, then I get a string of these types of games where we are clearly out matched before the game even started. This is on strict solo queue as well.
I feel like I'm being punished for playing well? Look at the ranks, I don't see how you can say both teams have an even shot at the match. We of course, lost all those games. And these are just a few examples.
Maybe I'm overreacting or overlooking something, but this has happened quite often in games before ranking up, and right after ranking up.
