PLEASE USED RANKED MMR FOR NORMALS MATCHMAKING

After playing many many normals with players that are below my level (I am mid gold with Plat 5 MMR last time I checked. Not saying Im good, thats just what my rank is), I've become incredibly frustrated with the fact that my normals MMR is so low, why is it? I don't know. Maybe My first few games went very poorly and that set my mmr very low for the account and now its stuck there because I go w/l/w/l/w/l pretty often.

Im not a bronze player, so I shouldn't be playing WITH bronze players. I typically get pretty far ahead anyways and don't even think its fair that Im in their game, it also makes practicing very hard because Im not playing against people that I would play with in ranked, so I can't tell if Ive actually learned a champion mechanically well or not.

If my ranked MMR was used for normals I would be so, so much happier and would have such a better time playing the game because Id be playing with people my level. I got out of bronze for a reason and it was specifically to play with potentially higher skilled players.

Not sure if any would prefer the same if theyre in the same situation, but I know I would.

btw, not trying to say Im better than anyone or that all bronze players are bad, I'm not a great player by any standards and some bronze players are actually very good, maybe they had bad placements or just have bad luck with teams or tilt easily and drop elo. Some bronze players are certainly better than me, hell some bronze players are probably better than plat players (the difference between them really isn't that big honestly).

but yeah, I don't even really expect a Rioter to see this or do anything about it whatsoever, just needed to vent. I hate being frustrated every game I play because Im getting flamed for not carrying or being camped so I don't get fed because they see that Im gold or just any of that other stupidity.

They don't. Normals have a different MMR from Ranked.

Lucky you. My mmr is TOO HIGH for me being in Bronze 1 that I'm paired with bronze players against golds and plats every normal game now. I don't mind the practice, it just shows how bad Riot fucked up their ranked system because I shouldn't have been placed in Bronze 2 with 6/4 provos.

if you were mid bronze/low silver last season thats why you got placed poorly. And i think its pointless to have people 3 tiers higher than other people playing together. There was a game on the showcase a few days ago, it was just a normal. It was a team of challenger/master players vs a team of players who were all under level 24 (the challenger team won disgustingly quickly. shocker huh) what a great experience for new players to get destroyed by players that they probably shouldn't even be playing without like a year or two of experience. (I say that because no one is gonna be challenger in their first season)
