Jesus norms matchmaking is awful

KuraSei··2 votes·387 views

Why is my bronze 1 illaoi laning against a gold 5 Swain. Like what the fuck don't even start the game if that's what you are going to do riot. We lost in champ select. Illaoi went 2/13. Bot lane and jungle played out of their minds but lose because hur dur gold player. So dumb like I want to have fun when I'm not playing ranked but nope the game just gives one team a few gold or plat playerrs and whoever has more wins. Fuckin dumb.

Go play ranked if you care so much about the teams being more even?

I don't always want to play ranked. I learn new champs and roles in norms. This is an awful experience when teams are so lopsided. Not asking for much, I just think they should work on match making. We had two bronze players and they had two gold players. Just makes the game not fun

How do you propose they accomplish this? It's almost impossible to tell who will try and who will not. A diamond player might pick a champ they've never played and feed extremely hard. A silver player might pick his main and beat that player in lane (I've seen it happen). It's very different from ranked where most of the people are trying to win. Thus in normals you're going to have much higher skill / performance differentials.

If you want more even games, ranked is honestly your best option and that's not going to change. Just play normals if you're trying to learn / play with friends / don't care about losing.

i think it's positive for the less stressful gamemode to have playersinteract with players of other skill levels, simply because a bronze player who wants to learn now has direct exposure to the tactics and gameplay style of a gold player

that can be positive in the long run, plus it's fucking norms, I main crit garen mid with dark harvest in norms, I go fiddle adc in norms, full AP taric, norms is whatever, it's for fun. Play norms when you're stoned, just enjoy it

don't cry "Hurr durr"

Yeah troll builds are all good and fun but what if you happen to lane against someone two divions above your own? I doubt you will leave that experience feeling that you had fun

I mean i've always floated a high bronze/low silver level of play and i've beaten plenty of plats in lane

actually my mobalytics is all over the place because apparently i do some things very very well and other things on a bronze 5 level or worse

so what do you mean by having fun ? guaranteed not feeding teammates ? Well, unfortunately even Silver 2 can lose/feed to Silver 4, being near same skill level.

But going 2/13 is less likely playing against someone in the same realm of your skill. Solo laning against someone 2 divions above you is pretty lame

u realise that is literally 1.2 tiers difference. And that 1 tier difference is seen in ranked.
