Diamond 5 shouldn't be in the same pool as Crystal.

I will say this, the drawback of the matchmaking change has clearly made queue syncing easier. I've literally ran into a group of 3 players that have been on the same team 5 matches in a row.

That's a pretty good change. Although there are a lot of goofs sitting at 0 rating in Crystal, at least we won't also get paired with Diamond hardstucks.

Hopefully in future seasons they do something like have Crystal start at 1000 rating and take the rating more heavily into accord when matching people. Meaning 0 Crystals would get more likely matched with Diamonds while higher Crystals with each other.

The matchmaking has been "Stick X players that can be matched together with longest queue time into a match and attempt at balancing it" for years and I doubt it will change

Damn, you mean I was doing a filthy thing like *queue syncing* by just immediately re-queueing as soon as I exited the game? Damn those dirty rotten cheaters!
