Player distribution by rank in normals.

I feel that the current normals matching system could use some love, because currently you seem to be matched PURELY by normal mmr, with ranked having nothing to do with it at all. And i sorta wish that ranked contributed to player side distribution, because many times after a normal game with all lanes losing i go and check up on peoples ranked stats and see that the entire enemy team is plat/diamond while half, or the entirety of my team is gold. Which isn't exactly fair even if they have the same normals mmr. i would rather the player spread be more even, with even amounts of gold/plat/diamond players on both teams.

personally i feel like i'm either playing for fun and don't care what my opponents are or i'm playing to improve in which case i would rather play vs better players who i can learn from. i feel like complaining about getting put vs higher tier player is just a way to take blame off yourself and there's no reason for you to feel bad about that blame just take that and learn from it.

maybe you messed up and died in lane a couple of times and now its really hard to lane. what happened that first time you died? did you over extend? did you underestimate an all in? did you get ganked? these are things you can learn from for next game. you don't improve as much by exploiting people of your own level.

I don't mind the learning process, but getting stomped doesn't really teach you all that much :b While an even distribution would help turn the game less onesided, and actually play against AND with good players on an even footing.

MMR determines skill not what rank you are. It makes more sense to have it done by MMR then by rank. It's the same way in rank matches by the way - the match ups are done by MMR. I've gotten matched up with many Diamond V as a gold I and they typically don't play any better than the rest.
