Draft MM vs Ranked MM

Riot,

This has been an ongoing issue of toxicity for an extremely long time and it's absolutely annoying to be quite honest. Why is it that even though I have around 2000 normal wins and about 1600 losses for normals. That I still get put with bronzes in my games in normals. Where theres a mixture of plats/bronzes/diamonds/silvers/golds. It makes me become super toxic when I have an ADC that literally just does not understand the game whatsoever. Why is it that we do not get placed with people that are near our tier of ranked MMR. Because I wouldn't care as much if I was getting matched with low golds mid diamonds what have you. But when you drop 3 tiers there is an absolute skill difference for a reason. You should not be getting matched with people like that when you're sitting mid plat etc.

TL;DR Match normal game MMR to your ranked MMR to produce less toxicity.

but norms are for learning regardless of MMR, its a 'casual' mode for all players. MMR doesn't really have a point to a casual game mode.

Thats like saying 'ok i want to play Call of Duty with people who only have a KDA of 5 or greater' but you're constantly playing deathmatch.

Because people prioritise Rank and Normal differently? Most people soft troll in normals while they tryhard in ranked. While there are some that for some reason really care about normal games which results in them having high normal MMR. Also in normals you can be challenger premade with an iron 4. You know what disturbance this cause for the MM? Just don't take normals too seriously. They don't mean anything. Try to get your Ranked MMR high and you will play with people that also want to tryhard.
