the last time i have been put up against platinum players all the time. i am level 27 so i lose every game. it happens like 9/10 times that i get lined up like this.

their team has 4 level 30 (usually gold - diamond), and 1 level 10 guy (also a smurf). so they have a full pro team while we are non-premade levels 23-28...

this also happens when i play with friend (silver 5), we get lined up against 5 platinum players... if you win every game, ofc you get to play against better players.. but i still play vs platinum after i lose 10 games.

please riot check up on ur premade matchmaking, cuz this doesnt make any sense anymore i added an example.

Their normal MMR is probably low.

If those plat players are like me then they probably play mostly ranked and very few normals, meaning their normal MMR is far lower than their ranked MMR. I know it seems weird, but in normal games the matchmaking system does not look at the rank of the players. Whether someone is bronze 5 of challenger in ranked does not affect how they are placed in normal games.

k thx explains something but i think riot needs to fix this though... its not nice for guys like me (bronze-silver level), to get stomped on by platinum guys every day... if it happens once every 10 games okay, but nowadays its most of the time that high-elo's are premade with smurf account.

thx for ur explaination anyway
