How do i NOT get matched with players below my skill level?

It seems like that my MMR for normal games are highly inaccurate, i always get paired with teammates/enemies who are around bronze 2 - silver 4 level at best. I was gold 5 last season and currently silver 2, i can play comfortably in ranked games because teammates cooperate with me. But when i go into normal games it just feels like me and my teammates are not even on the same page....

Before preseason my games were fine, i get paired with ~silver 3 level players in normals, but for some reason now im just playing with noobs. I need a solution... i rarely play ranked games ( too much pressure), and i hate having to play ranked just for a comfortable experience. Fix your matchmaking system RITO! :(((((((((((((((((((((((

I usually don't check my enemies rank on normals and I also usually play normals with lower ranked friends whom i cant play ranked with but,

Normals mmr is separate from ranked mmr so maybe you just fell into a normals mmr with consistent bronzies.

Personally because normals don't really matter to me, I can pay less attention, chat with my friends, try out a new champ I know im gonna suck at, focus on improving one specific aspect of my champion or laning (trying not to die as much as possible, x amount of cs by 20 min, testing the limits of a champ im trying to learn etc).

That being said I find ranked to be much less stressful if you remember that you have another 8 months to get where you want to be, and not worry about your rank. I just went on a loss streak from plat 2 60 lp down to plat 4 75 lp. This happened due to me not knowing when to stop playing (like when its 2:00 am and you are tired as balls).

I say just play ranked and don't even look at your lp post match, just focus on doing well or improving something every game.

idk just my 2 cents.
