Why am I being paired with the same person?
That guy was probably intentionally lowering his MMR so he can climb up the ranks in a lower MMR pool (easier for him)
The new system matches you against players in the same division/pip-range. And parties you with players of similar MMR.
When he was dropping his MMR by throwing games, he also dropped yours and you both moved down together and stuff.

There is zero benefit to lowering your MMR this season. It doesnt determine your matchup, only the teammates that you get. And you said that, so I don’t know how you could possibly come to the conclusion that you did.. but its wrong.
OP if you don’t like your teammates, wait a minute or two before queueing again.
