Wtf is up with normals MMR?

Why am I getting 1-2 plats in each game I play normals, a week back I was getting like a gold per game but now it's getting to the point where sometimes there'll be a non premade diamond player in my game. Why is this happening?

Educated guess?

Fewer new players and more leaving.

Rito spreading out the algorithm to keep que times down.

They seem determined to keep the game going on it's current path evwn if they kill it to do so.

Normals mmr is based on normals mmr. Lol. A players rank has 0 to do with their normal mmr.

Your MMR went up and their MMR was low to begin with.

Normal MMR and ranked MMR tend to be inversely proportional. People who are high in one tend to be low in the other, because they play the other queue far less.

I could say the same about new players. Why I am getting matched with lvl 20-30 players while I am lvl 140? I just hate playing against new players, it's no fun for both sides. Why can't I get players with level above 100?

It's probably like that because I play ranked very rarely, since every time I do play ranked I have the most miserable experience ever.

I'm plat mmr soloQ, but really couldn't be more than gold mmr in norms. Just recently went against a MASTERS player top lane. I know there's not exactly going to be enough master plauers to fill out a regular que, but jesus christ

Maybe your Elo went up

I got paired with a Diamond player in norms, I was duo with my friend in gold and I am unranked, (the one time I did play ranked I got Silver so I would say my skill level would probably be mid Bronze to mid Silver.) So yeah the mmr in norms can be quite... well... inaccurate.
