how advanced is matchmaking in draft

My guess is, not very. I'm bronze 4 (barely, and climbed from iron), so I expect to play with other bronzes (ideally b3-b4, maybe even some irons). Then I get put in a game where my entire team never had a rank and the enemy team has people who were silvers last season. smh

Does riot know that there's a skill difference between silvers and bronze? That might be why they're two separate ranks?

That's because Ranked MMR is different from Normals MMR

You know those stories of how Faker never played Ranked until his Normals MMR got so high he never got matches?

Think of it backwards

You likely play Ranked so often that you have a lower MMR in normals than in Ranked
