Normal games aren't balanced in any way

How do I win a normal game if the enemy team has a plat player in 95% of all games?

In every normal game, I'm given a silver 5 laner vs a plat 4-5 and every time they feed 5 kills or more before 7 minutes.

the games are unwinnable, I can handle playing vs plat players, but when a lane that isn't me in the game is 2 entire divisions below their opponent the game is basically won in champ select.

Not sure how this is good matchmaking.

if you want to play against your skill level play ranked. normal mmr is different and will always have these kinds of discrepancies unless they make it so it shares ranked mmr but until then it's how it is

Because they are normals. I'm silver V and i'm put against plats with other silvers constantly, even if the enemy has a premade plat team. It's really unfair but its "just a normal".

I can't relate with ranked being easy. Nearly every game (as a Gold V player) I am against either low plats or high golds, and my team never has such an advantage of ELO. It sounds silly, but it builds up over time. How am I expected to get out of Gold V if I lane against a Plat V every other game?

If they based normals on ranked mmr, the queue times would be too long for anyone plat and up. The ranked queue times are already horrible as it is.
