League of Smurfs?

Hello everyone my name is Opp catcher, I started league of legends in Mid june of 2019 (S9)

After playing about 100 games, I noticed i was constantly matched with other players who were 100-200 and sometimes even 300 levels above mine. Many times I was also matched against people 5-6 elos above mine. Someone unranked and new to the game being matched with gold/plat players is obviously going to lose to do less knowledgeable of the game. And yet all we get told is to get good.

This becomes frustrating because at this point i go into every game just assuming i’m going to lose because it just seems like i rarely get matched with players my elo or slightly above. A lot of people say “its how you get better so stfu and play” in reality, they don’t understand the psychological effect it has on new players.

In conclusion, I understand its hard to catch every smurf due to the amount of players on this game, however I find that the current matchmaking is atrocious and something needs to be done. Its no fun getting whooped daily and winning 1 game every say 5-10 stressful games you play. And lets not forget about the flame you receive from the enemy team and your team due to your performance.

Being a new player who has never played a MOBA game before, i enjoy league of legends, however there has to be something done about being matched with people who are gold or even plat when its evident the unranked player is new.
