Is it better to play ranked over blind pick when comes to fair matchmaking?
Last game i had Plat 5 and gold 5 guys on my team vs people who are silver 3 and unranked.We still lost,our Jana did more damage then adc (who did 9 k damage btw) I simply feel sorry for Janna and Warwick.I would be pissed off as fuck if i was on their place.
Paladin 0f Life1 votesPlat 5 is garbage that can farm, idk if they get lucky or boosted but they have no macro and rage. A team of silvers can easily beat a plat 5, now plat 3 -1 is different. But its very winable
Paladin 0f Life1 votesI get thos matchmaking all the time im s2 elo but i need actually play ranked, i just like norms and learning the game better
DemainaNyx1 votesNormals/Blinds have a separate MMR from Ranked. A Challenger could be placed against Bronze players in a Normal game simply because the Challenger player doesn't play Norms a lot thus the system hasn't determined their true MMR yet. Or the Challenger might use Norms to play roles they don't do well at, so they are a Challenger Top laner, but a Silver ADC player.
If you are gold and want to be placed against other gold players, Ranked is the way to go cause the rank you are seeing is based on their current Ranked MMR. You might be a Gold 5 vs a Plat 5 depending on how good your MMR is, but you won't have Bronze and Silvers vs Diamonds in your games unless the person is intentionally sabotaging their account.

Some madman actually did it a few months ago. http://i.imgur.com/p4shS00.jpg He's back in diamond 1 now, but he got to bronze 5 with challenger mmr after inting on rammus 10 games in a row to get placed low and then dodging all his promo's.
