You know when the last time I felt like normals matchmaking was in a fair place?
Team builder, where I could actually go play a champion for the first time with silver-gold friends and not be matched against 1 gold 2 plats and 2 diamonds who all main their champions (or vice versa, I play a main champ against a silver first timing their champion). I think nearly half of the normal games on my account are from the team builder era and I really do miss when I could consistently enjoy league of legends casually.
