Solo Que matchmaking

★★★ Newbie

I was solo queuing at D4 and got paired with a plat 2 and gold 2. The game kicked me out saying “the rank difference was too great” or whatever the line is. I then log back in to find I was hit with an abandonment penalty and loss of double RP. How is that even a thing? Is this a bug?

Kicked out of ranked (party has greater tier difference?)

★★★ Newbie

I was kick out of ranked (playing solo) because it said that there was a higher tier difference ( I’m d4) I lost point and got banned. Please fix!

Ranked game penalty bug

★★ Newbie

I was just in a game on December 9, 2020 6:56pm. I joined a ranked game lobby and was paired up with a gold 4 and a plat 4. After the champion was announced I was instantly kicked because the rank was too high of a difference and was disconnected. I didn’t lose any rp because I Didn’t have Rp to begin with but I’m under a game penalty for “abandoning game”.

What happens when the bug occurs? I got kicked from a ranked game for having too great a difference between ranks with my party, but I was not in a party. I was penalized as a leaver, except I was kicked by the matchmaking.
What should be happening instead? I shouldn't be matchmade with players below the threshold for a party in ranked mode.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Analyze the solo queue matchmaking limits.

I got kicked from a ranked game for having too great a difference between ranks, but I was not in a party. I was penalized as a leaver, except I was kicked by the matchmaking. Matchmaking placed me, as a solo queue, at current rank Diamond IV into a match with a Gold teammate, and detected us as a party after being placed in a game together. The game removed me from the game while loading, and gave me a leaver penalty. Why do I have a penalty because of the matchmaking?

This has has happened to me three times. It is deeply frustrating, especially in Diamond where an abandon penalty is a hefty 96RP. Got deranked from Diamond 3 back into Diamond 4.

 

What's even more puzzling is that this is completely out of the blue. Matchmaking has consistently placed me with me with Gold and Platinum players for the entire ranked split while I'm in Diamond. While it's annoying to have such a gap in skill, the game never punished me for its matchmaking service. Now, as a solo queue, I'm being banned because some Plat and Gold duos queue up and get into my lobbies?? 

 

It is simply unfair. I have no control over it. I'm solo queueing, and have lost almost 300 RP because matchmaking boots me out after I select my character. Once I see I have a gold team member, I'm removed, sent to the menu, and banned.

@29WHEELS Just happened to me twice. Looks like they dropped my rp while they were at it.
