Hi there, league of legends staff! It's me, ya' boy 2trei7 with a question. I hope you'll make me understand. I am lvl 32 and the matchmaking system gets me into matches with guys with levels between 100-500. It happens to me in every game. A friend of mine has the same problem. It doesn't feel balanced at all. Hope you can help me. Au revoir.

Levels don't really mean anything. Level5 diamond smurf can easily beat level500 silver player. Matchmaking ignores player levels after first few normal games

You are matched with people of equivalent skill, based on MMR. Level doesn't matter.

Account levels are only an indication of how long and/or often a person plays and is not an indication of their overall skill level or MMR. I personally encounter triple digit level players quite frequently but it doesn't automatically mean they're a skilled player at their champ/role/whatever. Because of that (and because it's perfectly normal to encounter high leveled accounts around your MMR) I wouldn't worry about it too much honestly.
