Normal Draft mode.

My team:

Gold 5 Bronze 1 Unranked, SIlver 4 Silver 5.

Their team:

Plat 5, Gold 5 Silver 2 Gold 4 Gold 5.

On top of this, my team was a 4 man premade of people that havent played for a varying number of months, with the "freshest" player having his last game 30 days ago. We got shit stomped into the floor, the enemy team flamed me non-stop, and my own team were missing skillshots like they were trying to predict flashes, EVERY TIME.

Wonder why your game is toxic, then put rusty bronze and low silvers vs toxic plats and golds.

EDIT: THis thread just got Necro'ed by someone 10 days ago.

Funny story, I just played another game where It was 2 bronze, 2 silver, and me (gold 4) vs plat 2, plat 3, and 3 silvers.

Funny how things never change ^>^

Not enough info really.

Normals are different MMR than ranked

Having a party of 4 is actually a huge advantage, much more advantageous than a gold 4 and 5 vs silver 4 and 5.

Rank itself isn't very indicative of anything. Boosting is a thing. Maybe your gold player has a 90% winrate over 20 games or something.

matchmaking is based on MMR, I've played many times vs Diamond + players on my smurf acc pre lvl 30. Also the rest of the players that were pre 30 were usually smurfs with names like Pentarina, Lee main, VayneGod, DravenAXe etc. So, your team actually wasn't in disadvantage. You all just played like shit and you blamed the matchmaking. If you want to play vs lower skill players, you can intentionally ruin games, so you will lower your MMR and be matched with less good players.

What's worse is if you get a high elo players in your game duoing with a friend. I got a game where a cho'gath was silver boosting a ziggs and im in bronze 5. Wtf is a silver doing in bonze low bronze. Shouldn't it be a mid bonze game. Also about normals, normals MMR os different from ranked. It's usually a jack of all trades.

G3 G-ish (refuses to play ranked) G5 S3 S4 MMR 1414

D5 D5 P5 G1 S4 MMR 1777

I've never had my drive to play league drained more quickly than this game. I was done 10 minutes in, I'm done for the night, and I hope whoever decided to not have ranked play some small part in your normal MMR stubs their toe while getting a paper cut.
