So I'm a jungle main and ive been trying to learn new champions in new lanes recently. I am a silver level jungler. Yeah, I suck, whatever. But I want to learn new roles in normals and its literally impossible because every normal I play I am in lane vs a plat 3 + player who just destroys me. I don't understand where I am meant to learn how to play new roles when I am so unfairly matched with significantly better players? The only way I can play against similarly skilled players would be in ranked... but if I try new champs/roles in ranked I get reported because 'youre meant to practice in normals'.... What am I meant to do? Each time I start a normal game I am matched against some 3000 win plat 1 player and just feed my ass off. Is this intended?

I can tell you I had a single practice game in the jungle; blind pick game. There were quite a lot of players with 2k wins or more in the game and for the most part it just felt like everyone was getting familiar with the new mechanics. Me and the opponent's jungle paths were rather terrible, I blast coned myself to inevitable death, mistimed a lot of stuff. For the most part, I'd say not to overwork your thoughts on the first day of preseason goes for both normals and ranked.

Its nothing to do with the new season, this is a general issue I have found. I want to play normal games against people of a similar skill level to me so I can practice and learn new roles. There is little fun or learning to be hand going 2-13 against diamond players as a silver player. Why is it that a silver player with 70 wins gets matched against diamond players with 3500 wins in normals? I have literally no chance to do anything other than feed heavily.
