The Role MMR turned normal games into the biggest mess ever.

Based on my obversations normal games, which used to be somewhat unbalanced already, turned into a nightmare these last weeks. I'm going here to list the rankings observed this last week then add some specifities. This will be only on midlane as I, based on the ranks obversed, reached the higher MMR in that role. The ranks will be presented as : TOP, JUNG, MID, BOT, SUPP.

1°) Unranked, Gold 4, Unranked, Gold 5, Silver 3 VS Plat 5, Plat 5, Plat 5, Gold 5, Gold 4.

2°) Gold 4, Gold 4, Unranked, Gold 1, Gold 5 VS Dia 5, Dia 3, Gold 5, Silver 3, Dia 5.

3°) Gold 1, Unranked, Plat 1, Plat 1, Unranked VS Gold 4, Unranked, Gold 5, Gold 2, Plat 2

4°) Silver 4, Silver 1, Unranked, Unranked, Bronze 1 VS Plat 5, Silver 5, Gold 2, Plat 2, Silver 1

5°) Unranked, Gold 1, Unranked, Gold 1, Silver 5 VS Plat 5, Silver 2, Gold 5, Gold 4, Dia 4.

I'm someone who mainly plays in normal. I have over 5,5k games in that mode yet I've never seen such disparities in normal games ever. I'm not going to spectulate anything but there's obviously something wrong here. It has been explained that the upcoming ranked system of season 9 has been already deployed in normal games for several weeks now... if that's how rankeds are going to look like... meh have fun guys.

On top of that, if I'm getting much more matched with 4 premades (pff..). I don't even want to start a game midlane anymore honestly.

hmm funny. cuz i normally only play normals cuz i dont really care about rank. and here of late nearly every game im matched vs a plat player and matched with or against plats n diamonds. i emailed riot about this really odd match making they told me its cuz rank and normal uses separate MMRs and i argued that if a player is a certain rank in ranked games that has influence on their skill or a reflection of it when they play normals and should be taken into consideration and then they gave me the double talk with a lot of word but saying completely nothing. kinda like lawyers and politicians.

its clear if you are in one of the higher rank/mmrs in RANK play you shouldnt be matched with low lvl mmr/rank players in normals. a plat + any thing in any role is still more skilled then a bronze/silver player in any role. so they should consider your ranked MMR when matching in normal game modes

i also argued that in correct or imbalanced match making causes a toxic game that if you are playing vs someone who is higher ranked mmr and you are losing to them your team (as usual ) will start flaming calling you a feeder, bad etc. ( we all know this happens for a bad game/play) and then you are more frustrated and tilted cuz even though you are trying to play the best you can you dont know your playing vs someone who clearly is higher ranked/mmr then you are. so you might lash out in retaliation to your teammates flaming at you and add fuel to the toxic fire and the vicious cycle goes round n round. no one is having a good time enjoying that game other then the enemy team where match making is in their favor. and can lead to people stop playing the game in the long run.
