Normal MMR

Just going to vent here ~ Been playing a lot of normals lately because of all the missions and such and it's almost impossible for me to do them because of my MMR. I used to be a former plat 5, but I decayed to Gold 1 and I haven't really touched ranked ever since. I play flex with friends, but that's about it. Anyways, I've been getting matched with Plat 1+ all the way to even Master tier. I know I'm supposed to take advantage of this and see if I can improve, but it's really hard to play and get these missions when they just smash me in lane or my other teammates can't handle it. (My friends are Gold 3 and below) Is there any way I can lower my normal MMR? I'm not even sure if there is a normal MMR, but I'm certain there is since I'm playing with at high plats and diamonds. Thank you!

There is indeed a normal MMR. As an S5 I get matched frequently against high golds up to mid diamonds, easily far out of my range of skill.

As it stands, its likely that A) I have a high MMR B) they have a low MMR or C) A combination of both

To lower your MMR, its just like ranked: Lose. I don't recommend doing it intentionally, but if those you are playing against are that much better than you, it will just happen. The game wants to match you against players of your level, it just doesn't factor rank in well enough.

As an FYI, play solo for any missions you can. Playing with others in a premade drastically spike your MMR as it factors in superior communication in comparison to solos.

same problem, lately ive been getting ive been getting mid plat enemys (im b2 and have never been out of silver since i dont really play ranked) like i go even with them laning wise or beat them usually because laning is my strongest trait in league and im fine vsing them but its kinda annoying getting called a bronzy because i complain a little about veigar being bs ( even tho he is even in places like challenger rn)
