So I was playing some ranked 3s with some friends and came upon this matchup. (Names blacked out because I'm not trying to "witch hunt.") Yes, that's a Master Graves. After the game, I checked the player's post history. This person plays SoloQ all the time with players like Saint, Piglet, Liquid KEITH, qtpie, etc. I'm watching Saint's stream and the Graves player IS IN THIS GAME. I asked the person after the game what they're doing at this elo and they claimed they're only Master in Ranked 5s, not soloQ. Obviously that's not true, because I'm watching him play on Saint's team right now.

I understand that ranked teams that are in placements will sometimes get uneven matchups. But how the hell is it okay that a MASTER Graves player gets matched against SILVER teams? Frankly, it isn't. We're not 3 smurfs who are also climbing and will hit Plat tomorrow. We've been in Silver for a month. This is kind of absurd.
