Low level gameplay is way harder than it should be.

Currently with all these diamond or whatever players they do so much ranked that their normal MMR is as low as a level 20. This creates a very annoying atmosphere with the lower leveled players because then as they are struggling along with tier 2 runes that they are missing most of, the enemies get to have free reign of level 30, full teir 3 runes set up just about for each champion, their full 30 mastery points, their full champion list, AS WELL AS their mechanics.

Those using a smurf accounts normally do not even have keystones, or just barely do, use tier 2 runes, a much more limited champion pool, and their mechanics.

All these people complaining about smurf accounts etc, at least only the mechanics of the player is brought with them..... which often times is vastly different than what they are used to because they do not have all the masteries they are used to playing with.

I have just in the past 2 games as a solo queue level 19 player fought against a Diamond IV player playing Ekko, along with at least one if not two of their smurfing buddies to help ensure they play against pre 30 players, and a Silver II who was previously gold last season player.

Ranked MMR should be calculated into their normals MMR (but not normals into ranked) so that it ensures a more fair fight and doesnt result in people getting so just plain old worn out of dieing.
