A bug where diamond players fight silvers and unranked.

Look at this link. "https://gyazo.com/327d1133addb82618a3a9a6f4e039caa". This is a bug, I do not think league of legends would do this. This is to one sided, and this happens at least 3 times a day. This bug needs to be fixed this is hurting low lvl people. IF this is not a glitch that is just down right pathetic riot. If this is not a glitch/bug, there needs to be a restriction where diamond cannot play with people who are lower then gold. This is to frustrating and this is causing a lot of people to be toxic. This is probably the leading cause of people going afk, "oh a enemy diamond rengar, alright im afk". You can never win tat game, it's impossible with the amount of teammates you have. There are a average amount of 2 idiots on each team.Please fix it, this is making me get really frustrated. Even though you're not going to look at this hopefully someone important will and tell you to look at it.

That isn't a bug.

Normal and ranked games have separate MMR values; if the Diamond player has played 600+ ranked games this season, they probably aren't playing normal games that much and their normal MMR will be lower as a result.

They were probably premade with the Bronze players on their team, which is why their team had disparate ranking.

A bug where diamond players fight silvers and unranked.

The Diamond player didn't fight a Silver player (since the only Silver (and Bronze) players in the game were on their team. He was playing against primarily Gold-skill players.

In addition, there is nothing saying that an unranked player cannot be skilled. I was unranked for 2.5 seasons and I was playing with and against Platinum and Diamond players (with the occasional Master or Challenger player) before I bothered to play ranked games.

Also, you posted this in the wrong board (since it is not a bug).

This should probably be in Gameplay.

So if I am fighting against a diamond player and we don't have one, i should afk cause it's a automatic loss? I've played since season 2 on different accounts. Low elo is the battle of smurfs who has higher and more smurfs. THey have a diamond player and we don't half of my team afk's.

Probably should be posted in Gameplay - as said above.

BTW, you were playing a normal game. The ranked stats are not factored in when doing the groupings. Normal is literally a free-for-all - and it will sometimes go and speed up the queuing process which may lead to sub-optimal groups. Plus, you could more likely to face ranked players, smurfs, inexperienced players, bots, afkers, premade queues, trolls, etc. -- you name it in regular. If you are playing normal, then you go in knowing that it is the circle of Hell that exists outside of ELO.

That team you ended up facing had, according to RIOT's system a 50/50 chance of winning (or close to it) - based on the net results of all the players on each side in normal play.

That's normal games for you. Normals are known to have a very wide range of ranked skill levels due to two things:

1.) As already mentioned above, normal and ranked games have their own MMR values that are independent of each other. Since games are matched based on MMR and not your visible rank, it's entirely possible, and even quite likely, to have people in a wide variety of ranks.

2.) In normal games, there are no restrictions as to who you can queue up with. Players that are ranked in Bronze can queue up with players who are ranked in Diamond, Master, or even Challenger, and this will very likely cause an unbalanced match in terms of ranked levels.

It's very unlikely that Riot will change any of this.
