So can Riot already fix the normal gamemode matchmaking system?

So Im lvl27 newbie that doesnt know much about this game and I always get placed against higher rank people (higher rank while Im not even allowed to play ranked yet). Today I got placed against a Diamond 3 player that had 1 400 000pts on Yasuo while my highest is 5000pts on Lux.

Can someone explain me why Riot hates new players and wants them to quit before they even hit lvl30 and can play ranked (Im assuiming that ranked will be better since I wont be matched against diamonds) I started this game with 2 of my friends and they both quit the game already because they were going 0-20 every single game and it was not fun at all. The only thing that is keeping me in this game is the hope for ranked to be better.

So if Riot really wants to make money (witch they obviously do) maybe they should try to make their game playable for noobs too so they wont quit at lvl10 because every single player that quits means that they wont be giving money to Riot (in skins and stuff). Maybe fix the game so when you are under 30 level you only play with under 30lvl and not against diamond and gold players.

I think this is unacceptable from a big company like this and it just shows that they dont care about their players. The weird thing in this is that they are losing money every time a new player quits the game. Are the Riot people just plain stupid with IQ lower than their shoe size or am I missing something?

I understand you as I also had this issue before hitting lvl30 and still if I go normals I get matched with higher ranks. Riot really needs to do something about this issue. One of my friends also quit this game at 12lvl because every game was a high rank player whooping his ass.

Normal MMR≠Ranked MMR. It never will.

Otherwise nobody who does ranked would do normals, because it'd basically be the exact same thing, without the possible LP gain.

That must mean you are REALLY good in normals for your level. What Riot really needs to do is do better about getting smurfs out of regular low-level matches faster... Maybe improve their normal mmr algorithm so that people that do significantly better than players on both teams can play with better players faster.

Conversely, ranked for you is only going to be a little bit better; you'll be playing with/against people that are more your skill level, but GEEZ IT'S THE MOST TOXIC THING YOU'RE GONNA PLAY. Seriously, it's barely fun to play ranked.

Ok so looked through your games and the yasuos games and it seems it was a huge glitch.

He always goes against golds+ in his normals except this one you are complaining about where everyone was unranked and he was diamond 3.

There is only one game you have like this so yea....big time matchmaking glitch.

Only one game? Im against ranked players that are high silver or gold in almost every game. For example from my last 10 games 7 were against silver 1 or higher. And before saying "silver players are bad" you have to remember that they are still like lvl70-100 while Im lvl 27 so they have played for at least 10 times longer (because higher levels are slower to get).
