What is this matchmaking? plat vs silvers

i queued up normal to have some fun, chill and play. And then i got this plat 3 udyr against us that totally whooped our asses. camped mid hard and farmed our jungler to dust. https://imgur.com/a/vd51Qo5

I got a lot of plat 3 junglers against me recently. like over 5 in the past 2 days. Even if it's a normal game, wtf is this bullshit? Does anyone consider this fun? fair? i certainly did not enjoy this game.

It's mmr based too. So those silvers could be on crazy winning streaks, and those plats could be down 4-6 games.

No, normal and ranked have separate MMRs so really theres absolutely nothing crazy about that at all actually.

Yeah but that's fucking stupid, they're still plat quality, just because they've inted in normal doesn't change that. Matchmaking should be based on their highest MMR, I'm sick of getting put against people 2 divisions ahead of me and getting my head kicked in

That is quite a cool story, bro. But no amount of winning/losing streaks will change the real play level of those people.Plat will still have more general understanding, be mechanically better and so on. There has to be a better way to balance this out.

NOrmal MMR is different than ranked. This is precisely why I play ranked more than normals anymore. Even to learn a new champ. I'm sick of every single game having diamonds in my silver games. Obviously riot had an opportunity with adding this whole 'splash' ranked system, to look at normals getting some ranked mmr, so diamonds who play rnaked 99% of the time who just play a normals every once in a while (that means they have basically just the default mmr) to stomp noobs won't get to do that so easily. But, that's not something Riot is interested in.
