What the -actual- fuck is with the Matchmaking?

I thought for the longest that the complaints regarding Rito's matchmaking wasn't justified, but then I saw it firsthand. How the hell do I, a new Gold 5 (with G5 MMR) end up in games pitted against players who are level 25-28?

I assumed when I saw "unranked" that they simply didn't play Ranked, but upon further inspection, they don't play ranked because they aren't high enough of a level to EVEN DO SO yet. Why the actual fuck is this happening?

I don't like roflstomping new players because the matchmaking system decides to hand me some inherent advantage; that's outright stupid and unfair TO THEM especially. The NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE is already downright awful, and this only exacerbates the issue.

TL;DR - New Player Experience still sucks. Matchmaking is a mess.

Your English is hard to understand.

Normal games are just not very good =. People in Silver have had professional players on the other side before (rare very rare).

I've gotten master players and unranked players on my teams in the same game of a normal. I have no idea why but riots decided to not even give the minimalist effort into making normals a fun or viable way to practice new things.

OMG how many times does it have to be said.....normals and ranked have different MMRs. If you're ranked Diamond, it doesn't mean that you will get only Diamonds in norms.

How many Sub 25-39 players you think there are? And how many of them press a play button in the same time WiTh G5 MmR - YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR MMR ITS HIDDEN! NO SITE CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOUR MMR IS

Also Gold5 is bassicly an average maybe 3-4% better. You are also likely facing smurfs

And your normal MMR is probably bad
