Please give us the option to disable "Adjusted matchmaking" in team builder.

The people I get stuck with in my "Adjusted Matchmaking" are so much more skilled than people from normal team builder. Seriously, I (A silver) have 2 wins 6 losses with Gnar and I get paired against a Diamond I Yasuo main. Then there was the Diamond Lee sin who counterjungled my first time elise and killed me in our own jungle all game.

In normals you're going to get paired with a massive range in skills I know, and I can accept that. But if you're going to advertise it as "to help you learn" when all it means is "take a big black **** up your butt for the next 15 games" at least can't there be some sort of forced elo consistency?

normals and ranked have separate mmrs. I have no idea why, but that's what causes such differences. Those players probably have poor normal mmr despite their high ranked mmr

It drives me nuts when I play a new champ and I'm stuck playing with TERRIBLE teams. I don't mean to say they're bad with their champs, it's understanding things like not 1v5ing them at dragon that they lack. When I play my mains there are some bad players (some games it's me), but the majority understand that starting a 4v5 fight when we're behind is a crappy idea.

When I play a new champ... whoa. It's carnage. I find the ability to play as a team to be the most valued skill in League (duh), but many of the 'adjusted' matches I'm in have people that make me wonder if they even know what grouping is.

I guess what I'm getting at, is that I have the opposite problem. I end up with and against some really bad players. I don't think that it's WHO you play, but understanding the macros of the game that matters more.

The best part is that it's fixed with the same solution to your problem! A toggle for adjusted matchmaking would be awesome. Besides, I don't want to learn how to play against bad players, I want to play against the good ones and lose because they're better than I am, not because my team hasn't learned to team up yet!

It makes me want to kill myself playing with these people. Its like i'm back to level 10 again! Exact opposite from OP for me. Believe me, its much worse. At least you can have fun and get better. I'm always looking for a challenge, and this game never gives me one, other than carrying a bunch of babies
