Let me start by saying this is my second account, in my main i'm Silver 4 (in promotion).

Been playing in this account lately trying to reach level 30, mostly normals blind pick and aram. I normally check lolnexus, to see who i should gank/shutdown more (when i'm jungle) or who i'm up against (solo lane).

Then this happened: (see image)

I'm cool with playing vs higher skilled players, it's a chance to prove myself and check my skill. I managed to handle tank-fizz top early game, though he was farming very well, it reached that point where i could no longer 1on1 him and warwick was making some nice ganks.

What happened is my team got really frustrated really quick. Rengar (plat 1) just quit the game, and the rest of us at that point were just cannon fodder.

I know that ranked elo has nothing to do with normal elo, but i'm curious, how can a level 23/26 with tier 2 runes and incomplete masteries have a elo that can match up players with 1k+ games, full build, with high ranked elo?

Anyway, just wanted to share.

It takes the base mmr... and balances it. You don;t have one yet. So its balancing off the two that do. [slayer-jinx-catface]

And the computer thinks that those two were enough for 'those' five?

I'll just keep my distance from normal draft for a while :D

He actually does have an MMR, which is different than ranked MMR. This is why when someone makes a smurf account, they quickly end up playing against other smurfs due to having a higher MMR than first time players.

Yup. Apart from the very first games, i was quickly put up with other smurfs. I just don't recall having this sort of match-up in Normal Blind Q. Maybe it's only in Draft Q, less players, most are high mmr.

did you duo with anyone?

Nope. But i'm guessing bard was teaming up with those two. I just feel that maybe i should be on the other team, to bring balance.
