Can something please be done about normal matchmaking??

BEFORE anyone comments, YES I KNOW ranked and normal MMRs are completely separate. That doesn't mean they should be though, nor does it mean that normal matchmaking should be ignored so long. If ranked is for try-harding, normals should be for some level of fun. It is not fun to get stomped by your lane opponent every game (unless you get a lot of jungle help) just because you're severely outranked.

I'm just getting tired of this. I'm Gold 5. About 75% of my last 30 normal games have had diamond ranked players in them (often 2 or 3). The rest have 5+ plat players.

My last 6 games in a row have had a diamond player on the enemy team and none on my team. 5 of those 6 the enemy diamond player was MY lane opponent.

It's hard to play normal games for fun when you literally have to sit back and farm under tower every lane (and sometimes still die and feed) because your opponents outclass you so heavily.

I get that it's the end of the season so people who have their borders probably are done with ranked, hence more high rank players in normal matches. Come on though. It's soo easy to fix the balancing. First: make people's normal MMR have a floor of their ranked MMR minus some constant. Second: if you can't find all high ranked people for a game, at least put people of similar ranks against eachother. There are obviously enough low diamonds and high plats playing normals in my position, because I'm playing AGAINST one every game. Without fail.

I have to play my main champions EVERY game in normals because I'll 100% outright feed if I don't. So where can I ever practice a new champion? Even with my mains I lose lane hard frequently because of this matchmaking. And my champion pool is pretty small right now, so I'd like to pick up some new ones but am just horrified that I'll be banned for going 1/12/1 or 0/25/3 for like 10 games in a row...
