What the Heck is going on with Normal Matchmaking?

Anyone else been having games that are ridiculously unbalanced lately? I don't mind playing with people better than me because its a good learning experience but that learning experience is ruined when you stack all the good people on one team and it becomes a slaughter. It makes losing miserable and winning unrewarding.

I know some people will say "who cares, its normals." Normals are how you practice and if the practice is worthless you'll never improve. Its like having a pee wee team scrimmage against the local Division 1 college, neither team is going to benefit much from it.

People have bad games all the time, just because in that game you had people who were having a bad game (which doesn't mean that they are BAD at all) doesn't mean that the matchmaking is so bad. Ever had that one game where every ally in your team just stomp the enemy team to the point where its like 20-5 at 25 minutes? The enemy team was probably thinking the same thing about you, right?

I'm not complaining about bad games. I'm saying that every single game I've had in the past couple days has been a stomp one way or the other. I can't remember the last time I had a close, competitive game. I don't feel like I learn anything if I win without trying or get my ass kicked despite playing well.

That seems off to me. I can understand some games being stomps but all of them? Very unusual, especially when it was fine a week or two ago.

Well yeah, only low elo games go on for longer than 20 minutes, since people don't know how to group..

Good luck to you with that! xD
