How can I lower my normal game MMR?

Astronomy·9/7/2019, 11:26:50 AM·2 votes·3,610 views

I made my account on EUW to play with friends, then we played ranked and I hit diamond 5 last season. Now my friends are gone, and I played the placement games out of curiosity and I'm in platinum now.

But I no longer want to use my EUW account to play ranked and tryhard and stuff. All I want is to try stupid and fun picks in normal games, but my MMR for some reason keeps matching me with diamond 2+ players and it's really not fun getting stomped every game because I didn't play my main and tryharded (yes I reached diamond using only 2 champions or 3, so whenever I don't play them my skill level is equal to low plat if not lower), not to mention that the players flame in normal games harder than ranked games. Oh you picked an off-meta build and died in lane? Uninstall and commit sewer side! Great people.

TL;DR I don't want to play my normal games with diamond people. Is there a way to completely tank my MMR without actually inting and getting banned, and that doesn't require a 100 games or something?

go find a bronze friend, queue with them, lose the matches, maybe 8 matches, then you can play how you wanna.

Lose as much games as possible. Pick Nunu and steal all the shit from your jungler, you won't get banned cause you're not feeding or if you're jungler don't go jungle, instead go to some lane and just steal xp and cs and run if enemy jungler comes and let your teammate die. Games like this will end up in 15 mins, especially if your mmr is above gold it may end even earlier.

The MMR will normalize after about 80 matches. Or else, just don't play norms for 3 months and it will kind of "soft-reset".

Or find a low MMR friend to play with you.

In any event, MMR is pretty messed up, as you can see from glancing the the other threads here on any day. You may always get matched against Diamonds.

Normal MMR is separate from Ranked MMR. So, hitting Diamond with your buddies in Flex, should have no effect on your Normal MMR at all, and you are just having bad luck.

From what I can see, you played your last Normal on that account three weeks ago, and you were the highest Ranked player in the game. Also, your estimated Normal MMR is actually about 500 points below your estimated Ranked MMR. (Just yours, not everybody's.) (Maybe because you don't play that many Norms...) I don't think that you have anything to worry about. If you meet Diamonds in your Norms, it's just the same bad luck that everybody else is subject to...

Lose more than you win on average. Do whatever it takes to lose a game. Always build mobi boots, so you can feed efficiently.
