Unpopular-ISH Opinion About the Unranked MMR System

Ok, I know saying unpopular opinion is clickbaity, so I added an "ish" at the end.

In my first season (6) Iwas placed Bronze II and only had 200 games or so before and I thought I understood that I had little experience. I was able to learn, and climb to Gold 5 through solo/duo. Now, since Riot halved the XP needed to play ranked, there are people with 60-70 games playing in High Silver/Low Gold Elo, and it's been vastly ruining game quality. Games are always stomps for a team. I want fair matchups without unrankeds so I can improve, in a good ranked environment. The average player is much better than it used to be Riot. Even though I've been playing LoL (without bots) for only a year, I feel that I have a valid standpoint, as I climbed from the bottom 20% of the player base to the top 30%, and understand the mentalities of people from bronze-gold.

The solution? Either revert the XP needed for level 30, or change the base MMR for unrankeds to Low-Mid bronze. You may see me as a the selfish antagonist, but my own smurf will suffer from this.

My winrate will be unchanged, as the amount of unrankeds I play with is the same as the amount I play against, but this will give the majority of players (mid silver- mid gold) a fair environment to improve in. If a Rioter or ANYONE reads this, I thank you for your time and I hope you understand my point of view.

TLDR The unranked base MMR is too high at the moment and creates an environment for mid elo players, in which they can not learn or improve
