Riot. Please prioritize Matchmaking

Just got in a Definetly not dominion game. It was all going well. I'm actually kidding. We got absolutely destroyed. So I got curious and checked their ranking. Mind you, I am Bronze I one of my friends is Bronze IV, and the other three were unranked. Our matchup was against. A platinum 3, a Gold IV, a Gold I, a Gold V, and a Silver I. That matchmaking system needs to be fixed. I am upset about a bad game. And this continues to happen as well. Riot. Please read this and know that your unranked and lower level players are receiving this daily.

This is constantly a problem when I join any of my friends in game. I'm an unranked player myself as ranked games are too toxic for me (I just enjoy the game and want to play for fun, not for the ranks), but games like this in rotating queue are uncalled for and you can't really do anything. You get jerks who sit outside your base and dance and laugh at you - which is fine when they aren't completely wrecking you because they're way more experienced players than you are. It makes the game not as much fun, and I honestly don't know how hard it would be to do what we're asking, but it needs to be done some how. Most of us level 30 players who don't want to do ranked already get people smurfing... and we also get players that are low levels in our match-ups as well. But having Platinums, Golds, and Silvers in our queue when the majority of us are unranked or low ranks...? That's... kinda really unfair and ruins the game modes that us unranked players would like to enjoy as well. Having a game that lasts 10 minutes where the enemy team keeps you cowering in base... is not a game at all because it isn't fun...

Matchmaking is based on that mode only.

You have to play a few games in order to get placed right. After about 10 games, you'll see that you head closer to a 50% win rate with all your games.

I get that. But still. When you have two ranked people on your team, bronzes at the least, you should never be paired with people in Leagues that high. It makes you not want to play. It's very demoralizing. That's why Riot should fix it. Not because I'm mad, but because it's demoralizing to a community of league players in specific.

idk why people whine about being put against higher ranks, I'd rather play against a diamond or a plat than a bronze or silver

Because it makes the game just plan not fun. Like to get better at it but I will never get better by playing against those types of people. The kind who seriously cornered us in our base and laughed and danced.
