Normal Game MMR Balancing
So, I am a casual gamer and I don’t really play ranked anymore for reasons unrelated to this post. I honestly feel that the way MMR is balanced isn’t fair for the people on the lower end of the ranked spectrum. So, in recent games I have been matched against people playing at Low Platinum levels, or even exactly showing at that ranking when they aren’t new accounts. I understand that people will intentionally not play Normals to be placed against people at a lower rank to Thanos snap them, but I feel that’s extremely unfair, and not really able to be countered.
Here’s why I feel this way: they will have a High Gold player, or maybe two, on the opposing team to balance this. If this High Elo player is matched against a Silver, or Bronze, there is a large skill advantage, and basically gives them a huge lead, and as we all know, when specific champions get a lead, they are unstoppable.
As much as I would like to say this isn’t really a common occurrence, well, I can’t. It happens very frequently, and it really drives me away from even playing that game, because once I see that later die even just twice, I know the game is over.
I understand that there are reasons why it is balanced this way, but from I understand, most people don’t really like being ROFL stomped and prefer an even chance of winning the game.
Please be open minded while reading this and take my opinion into mind, and I will absolutely love to hear other feedback on this specific topic.
