Normal mmr/Ranked mmr

Heckin Support·Aug 17, 2015·1 votes·621 views

Can Riot please do something about this. I'm tired of being in games where I'm matched with/against people of high rank (I'm talking diamond/challenger I've been placed against). I get that normal mmr and ranked mmr are seperated but why are they seperated by such a gap? I've played games with my friends who are bronze or even unranked and when I check the end game stats, bam the diamond enemy carried the team to victory.

I get why some people say "it should be an honor" but no. That's not how it works. 9/10 The higher rank just completely stomps my team, because they understand positioning and warding, meanwhile my team is just not at that level. Riot can you please do something so there isn't such a huge gap between the ranked and normal mmr?

There isn't a gap between the two...they are just different. In the same way your ranked MMR goes up and down based on losses, your Normal MMR goes up and down based on losses. So either you are just winning so many Normal games that your MMR is high or the "Challenger" players are losing so many normal games.

If you keep being matched up against them and losing, your MMR will go down, and you won't be matched up against them anymore.

I know that they are separate, I just hate the idea that the gap between them can be so large. Like how in ranked you could be like diamond 1 but in normals it says you're like silver 3. (i know that's not mmr im just using it as an example). It's just a waste of 20+ minutes, more than 20 when my team refuses to surrender even though its like 4-36 or something crazy.

Well normally if you play your normal games like if they were rankeds or the reverse thing you should be able to get pretty much at the same mmr. For me, I got a gold 1-2 mmr in normals and I'm around plat 4-5 in ranked. If you have a ''diamond normal game mmr'' you should for sure be able to carry yourself to diamond without any problems. The thing is that if these diamond players have only 200 games and it was when they were bronze then you're fucked.
