So i'm just a regular player from EUW writing in the NA forums because our forums are pretty much ignored most of the time and the only time i saw a red or someone from riot commenting was on a cat discussion .. I dont play ranked , at all. The only ranked matches i've played are the placement matches which got me gold II this season and gold IV last season. I exclusively play normal blind pick games , because i find them relaxing and fun (atleast i used to) compared to the action-packed ranked games. I really enjoyed playing league like this, every game was pretty much relaxed and i got along well with everybody.. Until MMR completely fucked me. If i queue up for a game now i will be matched with high plats/diamonds.Me! a gold II player! Listen i know how the MMR system works , if you win the majority of your games aganist players of your league , you'll be matched with higher league players, but right now it feels so wrong to me! im aware im not as good as diamond player yet but im forced to play aganist five of them ! I know i do not belong to diamond , so why the hell would this system match me with someone im horribly going to lose lane aganist? how is this fair? I need time to improve if i want to be a diamond-level player, you cant just fuck me like that! My win/lose ratio is horrible lately and i usually feed or lose lane if i go solo , so im kind of forced to go support most of the games , a role i myself dont like, to prevent me from feeding to that diamond II Twisted Fate. The only games i win are when i get blatantly carried or the enemy has an AFK ... I really dont feel like this system is fair.. just please match me with player with my same skill level.. -FinalRaidBoss

Your matched with them because your mmr score is really high for your tank and so if you win you'll be in plat after like 5 wins . meaning you should be gaining close to 30 ip a win

Your ranked MMR is not the same as your normal MMR. Even if you were bronze V in ranked if you kept winning normals you'd eventually be playing with diamonds.

A lot of diamond players do not try all that hard in normals though. They will be overly aggressive or otherwise try new things in order to try to get better at the game. You can try to take advantage of this and sometimes win anyways.
