Ranked matchmaking at silver giving two rookie teamates

Discussion

This keeps happening, and the inevitable quick wipe follows suit. my question is not only why is this still happening with the 'reloaded' ranked but how is it fair? its been a slog to solo my way into silver and its only getting harder - thats fine, but give me a team equal to my rank to give us a fair shot, because at the end of the day half of my matches are being pissed away having to attempt to carry newbies and non-teamplayers, and if i succeed they get rewarded, if I fail I get punished on a larger scale than them.

I just played a match at Silver 3 where my teammates were rookies 2 & 4, not even bronze. one split and landed right in the middle of an enemy team, dying immediately. I killed the team while the other rookie was elsewhere and revived, only for him to run off on his own as well, leaving me to die long before i can get any RP. The biggest kicker? they are contently running around with +20rp for letting their team mate die while they both ran around solo. doesn't seem like its rewarding team work to me, nor is it rewarding my time grinding the ranks if its going to keep slamming me with people of lesser rank with less to lose.

Same, I'd play pubs to farm battle pass and have fun rather than climb rank like this

I'm consistently solo que high diamond each season, have the 20b and 4k, and I'm pretty much giving up on solo que ranked this season because of this. I can carry pretty hard but I can't get out of gold because it's giving me B4 team mates non stop, and all of the other teams are gold 1 (which is the same as diamond+ players the previous season right now)

Hiding until top 5 and sneaking some solo kills for 40rp isn't really a fun experience to spend 30 minutes on cosnsistently.

Im only just in plat most seasons, and i sure as hell cannot reliably carry people against a team of decent players I need at least a little input from the team in damage or covering fire so i can rotate out, not good news if you're in gold and still getting bronze matches as i never seem to match with a gold as silver, i was hoping gold shifted it up to at least grouping with minimum silvers

We don’t want you either bro, I’d love to play against my own tier.
