"Who Cares It's Normals"

Is just about the shittiest reason ever for matchmaking to be completely busted in normals. Use your brain for a second and realize a level 10 player SHOULD NOT be playing with golds or higher, this is just absurd. I don't give a f**** if the MMR for Normals and Ranked is separate, that is not a good reason brand new players would be in the same game as Golds. You're basically saying there is no matchmaking in normals when you use this excuse. Fix this bs it's just deterring new players from wanting to play this game.

New players rarely learn from being completely stomped: itemization is situational, things happen too fast and the new player is dead before they even know what happened the game is over

Also i just hate it when someones doing objectively bad, not even TRYING to do better, and when you call them out its "lol dont get butthurt its norms" like, that excuse is only good if someone is flaming you and toxic af calling you names. But me saying "Hey play a bit safer and dont feed them plz" doesnt mean you just continue dying in lane going 1/7 before ten minutes, and then just shrugging it off.

Yeah it's not wasting anything except my time but jesus I still like to WIN games, and whats you not trying accomplishing anyways?

how is wrong a lvl 10 players to play against a gold player?

Last time i check you all say that the new player tutorial suck for riot and new players dont learn how to play the game

If a new player see someone who is better than him and see him how he play and what gameplay he use he will learn...

Why you people dont try to see the good thing in stuff and you always try to be mad about a defeat...

If i play against a challenger in the jungle and he do some stuff i would not care if he win i would see and learn what he did so i can use them in my personal gameplay in order to be better...BUT NO you people would cry because you will lost a normal game...but in the same time you will go to see a streamer who is challenger to teach you how to play but in the same time you dotn want to to see A LIVE enemy challenger in your game that you will learn from him..

i dont get it...

How do you suppose you could even use the matchmaker at all if there isn't Normal game ELO that doesn't start at level 30 (as for Ranked games)? How many players do you actually believe there are on certain level milestones(below level 30)?

If you say that you don't care about separate ELOs (Normals and Ranked), why do you always end up comparing the actual rank of players to Normal ELO of said players? If you already acknowledged that these two numbers are separate, you can't compare them in your argument.

A Diamond 1 player who only plays Ranked and occasionally a few Normals/ARAM games can have his Normal ELO in the gutter (because he almost never played Normals). But of course, this wouldn't be fair. Ranked ELO should transfer to Normal ELO but the reverse should not apply.

i mean. im a fucking troll in normals. i do the most troll shit without fear. ap gangplank, proxy rammus top. full ap bard top. like my objective in normals is to make a fiesta occur. i want there to be like 100 kills. 60 minute game. the entire fiesta . a fiesta. THE ENTIRE. fiesta. if someone is low elo in my normal game im just gonna make sure to have even more fun. and if he cant appreciate the hilarity of a singed or rammus chase then he sounds like a boring degenerate

Whats the anger for. gold is trash anyway.

The best way to get better is to play with and against other really good players. If you play against trash they'll rub off on you, you'll never learn what mistakes you're making because you never get punished and you'll think you're good when you crush someone who is just a bad player. Be glad if you're getting to play with plat+; whip out some paper and take notes.

There are not enough new players to make full matches with just new players. On top of that, a lot of new players play in a premade with their friends who are experienced (of any rank). So yeah, there's gonna be some Gold players with level 10 players sometimes. The alternative is 10 minute queues (my personal estimate, trying not to exaggerate). And if there's anything that kills interest in a game for new players, it's being unable to play the game at all, because of huge wait times.

Honestly, if you want matchmaking to work for you, the best thing to do is to not fuck with it (for example, by making a ton of smurfs).

I was playing Draven against an Ashe with no keystone who had no idea what she was doing... I'm level 30, felt kinda bad killing her

MM separates actual new players from new (smurf) accounts. But, sad is that low levels (even smurf MMR) is full of toxic idiots from bronze V, who go trolling moment they dislike something (even for them dying in a 1v1).
