Why on earth do you match me with diamond and master smurfs who are already level 30 and have 50+ ranked games in diamond master on my 27 level account lmao..And it's not that i cant outplay them i dont even have a rune page so they have an unfair advantage untill 2-3 items into the game aka i gotta sit in my jungle and afk farm cause if we skirmish they got bonus 15 ad on me at all times like lol. not to mention my team consists of other players that are below 30 so the game is more about which diamond smurf is gonna get the cheese faster pretty boring.. and to dd the fact that you barely get enough ip per game

Most of my games have been like this lately. The worst case being a game I played where the enemy team had two master level players on the enemy team. No one on our team was even Diamond.

That feel where you know the game is lost before it even starts, but you can't be mad at your allies for feeding because they are just so greatly outmatched.

exactly. and you legit get nothing if you dont win the game the xp gains and Ip gains when you lose are garbage and you feel like you wasted 20-30 mins for absolutely nothing

Today I got matched with an unranked barely lvl 30 ADC as a support in my last promo game, usless to say the game was lost as soon as I saw her "farming".

this is exactly what happened to me, i was silver 1 and that adc was fucking unranked and was 1 win 8 defeat in placement, rito matchmaking at its prime.

Because you are playing norms. Normal MMR and Ranked MMR are two different systems. You can have a great Ranked MMR, and have a trash Normal MMR.

dominusxSep 6, 20161 votes

yeah but 52% win ratio in normals isnt great mmr. i troll more games than i carry while leveling so this doesnt stand...dunno

He's referring to your opponents MMR, as it could be trash tier in Norms.

Still dumb however, and your ranked MMR should have a moderate impact on your normal MMR.

i wouldnt mind ranked mmr having to do with normal mmr might make games interesting cause everytime i do a normal game for 1st win of the day is an absolute stomp cause it matches me with gold and plat players.

You're leveling a smurf account? Expect to get matched up with other smurfs.

dominusxSep 7, 20161 votes

as i was saying they match me with already level 30 smurfs who have ranked games in while i am not even level 30 and i'm playing with half rune pages put 2 diamond players in a game and give runes to one of them it's a no brainer who is gonna win most of the time

Matchmaking is fucked and has been for a while despite all the pretty charts that Riot puts up that it is working.

That will happen to you in ranked as well. You will get unranked players playing their 2nd ranked game, while the enemy will have like 2-3 plat players lol. Enjoy rank

dominusxSep 7, 20161 votes

idc about ranked cause i actually try to win in ranked. i don't wanna have to carry normal games becaue rito gems matches underleveled people with master level players only reason to play normals is runes/champs other than that normal is worse than ranked
