TIL: The "1000 SR" restriction doesn't apply to normal matchmaking.

Highlight

Down here in the depths of Bronze Hell, ended up paired with someone 1071 points higher than me. Just something neat I noticed, I guess when you get that low, all normal rules are thrown out the window.

U can end up with ppl that is 1000+ in your team. But you cant que with them. Like being premade with them. Look at seagull, he ends up with diamonds in his team.

Sadly if you could only get matched with people that are between 1000 of you, one day someone will find himself at 500 without someone close to him to escape(obviously it won't happen).

On the more in depth answer , Queue times,Searching for people only in range of 1000 of you requires a more specific algorithm that will be calculated for range of 1000 of each party member in order so it wont exceed the range of 1000 for each party member and find a match quickly.
