That is not a very big difference, if you were matched against all plats then that would be an issue to worry about.

So me, only 1 ranked win, is fair to be matched with players who have hundreds of ranked wins? :S

It doesn't depend upon people who have a lot of wins it depends on elo, or MMR which is how skilled the system thinks you are, if you are being matched against players with a higher elo than you, you should feel honored that Riot thinks you are better than your elo lets on.

I am no where near the skill level of these guys I will give you the result at the end of the match. I am not on their skill level, not raging or moaning I am just not as good as those people :) 1000s of wins means they have lots of experience,I'm still learning to last hit creeps properly

Normal MMR and Ranked MMR are separate, you're probably getting matched with people who don't play a lot of normals

Honestly so are they, and that looks about like a lot of the matches I've queued up for, a few unranked and the rest either gold or silver, been matched vs a few plat players and even a couple diamond, I look at it as a chance to test my skills vs stronger opponents. I was pretty sure I would start out in Bronze once I hit level 30, but ended up silver the first season I played Ranked, you might actually be better at the game than you think.

I understand what you're saying mate and this might be the case for most people but it's not for me :) I'm genuinely no where near the level I get put against, the plays they make, map control, cs etc all way above my level.

Maybe I will try ranked and see where I end up, however I don't want to cause my team to lose and be one of those "my team mates are really bad and causing me to lose"

EDIT

I don't mean I would say that, I mean people would say that about me because I would lose them the game :P

One piece of advice I can give you is not to care about what your team mates say, in the lower elos you play with them once and most of the time never see them again, I've had bad games where people blame me for the loss and I've had other games where I've forced surrenders from the enemy team, Just find a champ you like, play them a ton so you get used to them, and go ham, don't worry if you mess up, everyone messes up sometimes, but if you try to beat your opponent and fail you can still learn from it, I've been spending every game this preseason going ham on my opponents every opportunity I see, I've fed a game or too as a result, but I've also made some pretty amazing outplays, gotten some great comebacks, dove in 1v3 or turret dove and come out on top, you can either try and risk failing, or not try and be sure to fail.

Also here are some sites that might help you out, you can check your own MMR and a bunch of other stats here, OP.GG even has a way to record your games so you can watch them later, and maybe make some clips for youtube.

Play a game where you have to lane against a mid diamond player and then come back and complain

DevlinCrowNov 22, 20151 votes

I am like not even as good as Bronze players, I have played 3 ranked games and lost 2. Silvers are way too good for me :/

I laned mid vs a Gold once...needless to say my deaths where in double digits xD

Hey, wanna lane vs me :^)

The Gold V fiddlesticks just has absolutely trash MMR, which means he's bad. Don't worry.

DevlinCrowNov 22, 20151 votes

How can he be Gold V and have bad MMR? :S

Sir HammerlockNov 22, 20151 votes

Because once you hit Gold V you can't drop below that point unless you have like 1100 MMR (~Silver V). Just like you can be Platinum V, but have trash MMR so you play with Gold IV/III's
