Normal game MMR and ranked game MMR is seperated to avoid abuse. (People intentionally losing normal games to lower their MMR, then going into ranked).
This means that a high ELO player can have low normal game MMR. This doesn't happen very often though, so the negative doesn't outweigh the positive of this feature.
