New player playing rank

I've lost 3 times already why am i still playing against platinum / gold? I feel really bad for my teammates because i end up feeding the enemy, I would play normal games but the majority of the games i play on normal is also against golds which is not fair. I wanna play against people with the same ranks as i am (bronze) and learn through that but i can't because im always stuck playing with/against high ranks, leaving me to play AI Games(it's not fun).

Honestly, you wont get better at the game unless you go against people that are better than you. It sounds boring and frustrating, but trust me when I say getting to play against and with higher skilled players is more satisfying in the long run than being stuck with lower elo players.

When I first played the game I played with my brothers who were Plat and Diamond level. Even Arams with them I was getting my shit kicked and found it frustrating. But over time I picked up on what they did and learned how to play the game better than I would have ever learned playing against and with similar skill level people.

Don't get too discouraged though. I know it sucks for now but later down the road you'll improve tremendously and it'll feel great :)

No problem! I also highly suggest playing with friends to reduce the stress of losing while you still learn. It makes the game more fun and you don't get burned out quickly. Much like how I first got into the game playing with my fiance and my brothers. My brothers taught me the game, whereas my fiance continues to make the game enjoyable by having someone to always play with!

But make sure your friends are positive players and can help you too! It's great getting tips from friends to improve your game since you know they mean well.

Another person mentioned that you'll get better by playing with better players, but don't fret. Losing games against those higher mmr players will in turn lower your mmr, meaning that eventually the system will bump you down till you start winning.

Play normal (unranked) games against other people (Not AI) until you have a couple hundred wins before you even consider playing ranked.
