User blog comment:V0ldek/The biggest mistake of Season 3/@comment-5795902-20130418003413

If i am not mistaken, the original MMR system is the one responsible for placing players together , so if you get one of the (worthless players whose skill is equal to 0 and they do nothing but flaming)

in a normal game : thats what always happens, you get people from different levels in normals and we all know that before joining the queue so its pointless to blame the league system here

if its a ranked game, well the MMR was the one responsible for placing him with you , and the same thing used to happen in s2 and s1 as well so the league system isnt to blame here either :P

about the problem with nubcakes who are gold but have the skill of the 600 elo, well you shouldnt run into those in ranked , in case you do then they were lucky to be carried to your level and will keep losing and get eventually dropped by the MMR level (again like in s2 and s1) so it should be a rare sight , if you get these in normals , well what were you expecting? xD

in short the league system only serves to give you something to look forward to (the promotion) adding some more addiction to the game while the MMR is doing all the job from the shadows.

btw, nice one there it got me stunned for 3 seconds. nerf plz :P
