I had a game in normals playing with friends having a good time i was support thresh and we murdered bot lane to the point where we zone trist and morg and they can't do anything and even the trist afked. I found out that they were both not even lvl 30 playing against a team that is full of lvl 30s after that I felt bad that happened Riot please fix that.

Yeah, I played in a game against 4 silvers with a 29 on my team. The 29 got killed early and often. Wasn't a lot of fun.

First of all, Trist. Not Trish. Trist. Tristana. Her name is Tristana. Not Thrishtana.

The reason they weren't level 30 is because either all of you were low 30s, or they had someone who was higher level, most likely ranked. The MMR system is fairly even from my experience.

I think part of the problem in balancing normals mmr is the variance in how/what people play from game to game. When I'm in ranked I generally want to play my main role(s) and will play a fairly limited champion pool (3-5 champs total if I'm really trying to climb since I like to play champs that can go in multiple lanes). When I'm in normals a decent amount of the time I'm just playing a new champ to try them out, or I'm playing something fun that I know I'm not good enough w/ to play in ranked (my lee mechanics are shit, but he's a fun champ). However, sometimes I'm playing w/ someone who invited me to que w/ them and didn't want to play ranked, but I really want to play my main role/champ(s). The skill gap between my main ranked stuff and me on random crap is so huge that there's no way the game could balance that MMR swing unless it gave me an MMR for each role/champ combo, and that would take so many games to calculate for every champ that most people just wouldn't have normals MMR for the champ/role combo they were playing. Sub level 30s vs level 30s is probably going to be an issue most of the time, so maybe change that, but w/ level 30s I think normals MMR being as balanced as ranked is probably going to be impossible.

I think the biggest problem with "Normals" is so many people treat it as dick off and fuck around time.

Oh you dont want me going AD Xerath , oh, well too bad "Its normals."

So youre saying Ahri jungle isnt going to go well? Meh, "its normals."

I can play what I want, and Im going AP Caitlyn , its not trolling, "its normals."

I get sick of "its normals" being a catch all excuse for people doing the dumbest shit ever, and acting like no one has a right to complain about any of the examples above because its not ranked.

So what we need is a goofing off and wasting time mode for people to do dumb-ass moron stuff like the examples above, and let normals be ... normal, but unranked, so you can practice stuff in an environment where people may be playing champs theyre learning, or practicing, but not just doing dumb shit and saying what "its normals" to excuse it.

We aint gunna get that though, so normals is going to continue to be crap MMR, no way around it.

What I want is better pits of failure for people in ranked. Played a match today where one player, when we were down to the last 2 picks told us they cant ADC... A thing I specificly said "Hey call some roles, Im 2nd pick but Il fill in" and we ended up with NO MARKSMAN. I told that idiot they didnt belong in ranked if they only know how to jungle.

Sadly no wood or cheap plastic leagues for them to go into.

Sorry you feel bad for stomping on puppies in a box, but thats what happens.... after all "its normals."
