Being forced to play against higher ranks in draft

I am a bronzie and that is fine by me but what i really have an issue with is that every game I play their is a gold or a plat even sometime diamond in the lobby with me. I am ranked and that rank is no where near gold, plat, or diamond so why am i always forced to play against them it makes the game no fun and it honestly makes me want to stop playing this game if every game i have to fight my hardest just to lose to people who are a higher elo than me. Im just not sure why this keeps happening

Instead of looking at it as a smash fest, why not look at it as an opportunity? Watch what they do, how they do things... look at builds, look at how they play their champ. If they are beating you, then take the knowledge of you playing against them and you register it as how they poke, how they move, etc. Learn. Play better next time. I play against diamonds and plats and ive even had a master tier in my game before. It is nice to see how they play.

lol why are people actually downvoting this.. amazing to me how hard it is for people to take responsibility or just suck it up and work at getting better. this is how the game is, if they can't handle it and just wanna complain rather than making an effort, league isnt for them.

People hate being told that they have to learn, they would much rather take the easy way or keep playing the same way. Some are stubborn and refuse to improve.

Take it as a learning opportunity playing with higher rank players will help you improve so instead of whining take the time to learn from them you will die a lot but you will improve much faster than playing against other bronzies.

Id love to be matched with gold + players on a regular basis... only helps u become a better player.. sure u might take a shit kicking for the 1st bit but after u will adjust and be able to hold your own..

honestly, if you get better at the game then there's no problem. why be ok with being far less than mediocre? it's a pretty piss poor philosophy that people adapt too often with everything in life (and are oftentimes unhappy) - doing the bare minimum. learn to play the game you are playing, otherwise what's the point?

to answer your question though, it's cus normals mmr doesn't work the same as ranked mmr. and you'll see a lot of higher elo players partying up with lower elo friends. as others have said, you should be seeing it as an opportunity to get better.
