In Normals, I am ALWAYS matched up against other players who are significantly more experienced. Every game is a struggle because I'm fighting golds/plats/diamonds. Why is my Normals MMR SO HIGH? Or, why is their normals MMR SO LOW? Why don't I play against other Silvers/Other Unranked players?
I can answer that.. I was Plat 3 last season. When I used to play normals back in Season 4 and part of 5.. I played with mostly unranked and coming from Season 4 I was bronze. Well I was learning the game playing normals, and then I discovered ranked. Fast forward to now.. my normals MMR never climbed with my ranked MMR.. So if I Q up I'm usually in a Silver/Gold game.. and if I Q up with an unranked or Bronze friend, then I get in Bronze/Silver games.. Maybe that gives u an idea of how it happens.
