Playing with diamond and gold players at lvl 24?

CloverRing··1 votes·565 views

I'm not a regular league player. I only know how to play support and I'm not good by all means to most of my ADC's. My match history is mainly red. At my skill and lvl I thought I wouldn't be playing with lvl 30's. Is it because I'm using draft? This use to never happen. It's sort of stressing me out because I can't play like a ranked player at lvl 24. Sorry for asking such simple questions.

it can be a really disgusting thing you'll find its rare however and most likely a yasuo, but people make a new account getting a friend to play with them and grind champion points to level 5 dumping the character made. they repeat this process to give themselves honors so that they appear that they are a 100k champion point yasuo main when they didn't earn it all

Match maker for normals is pretty shitty. I wouldn't be surprised if part of that was because of premades. That's one of the primary ways you get high level opponents. Someone near your level duos or groups up with a high ranked diamond and match maker throws you in the mix. It is supposed to be evened out on both sides but that rarely happens and even if it does it won't matter if you are forced to lane against a diamond level player and your diamond level player went top.

There is not a whole lot you can do except play it out. Between smurfs and premades the new-player experience gets pretty bad at times. You might have better luck with team builder. Worth a try anyway.

I played with a challenger and constantly played with Diamonds when I was still in Gold. Don't feel bad. Riot's matchmaking system just loves to fuck with you like that. Think of it as a learning experience, if anything.
