Please Fix low level matchmaker. it is NOT WORKING properly.

Usually one makes a topic and explains what happens and why, but I will let the images speak on their own.

The only think that I will add is that placing NEW PLAYERS against smurfs and Platinum or Diamond tier players, every time one of them duo queues with a friend of theirs with a low level account, is losing LoL players.

In my normal account I have never seen such a disparity in levels in tiers, so please look it up and make it so that matchmaker is less random in such cases in low levels (and they are not a few).

I thought it was just me. The other night I played a few games with my gf on the EUNE server, she has a lvl 22 account and mine was lvl 14. We kept getting matched against plats and golds, very similar to the images you provided. I dont have a problem playing against people with skills, its the disparity in the runes/masteries that makes it an unfair matchup to begin with. Now Im having to convince her to give the game another chance bc no one wants to get stomped like that repetitively.

Exactly !

I do not mind playing against those people either (I enjoy the challenge), but the ACTUALLY NEW players are having a very bad experience at the moment which drives them away from the game ... I am also playing with a newly created account in EUW and I have noticed that really new players are few and far between ... most of the low level accounts nowadays are actually smurfs :/

Ranked MMR is not the same as normal MMR. Yes, they need to separate the levels, but unless they combined MMRs they won't be able to filter certain ranks in the normal matchmaking.

True, but I highly doubt that a diamond player has not amounted a better MMR through the years than a new account of 10+ level !

Either way, combining the MMR doesn't sound like a very complicated solution, so why not .?. :)

this is a common complaint.... and i dont think they will be fixing it because they would have to overhaul the entire mmr system.....

dia vs lv 10's and such.... ya....

you have my sympathy's at the least, most of us have felt the pain.... and remember a lot of plat or diamond players will not enjoy a pubstomp type game that is unfair, lost of people are getting bad games when something like this happens
