This has to do with Normals. I Am Sick of getting qued in normals with kids that are bronze and silver. for god sake when I que ranked I get p3-P5. I go to normals I get trolled EVERY Game. Because IM g1 and they are stuck in elo hell. Today I had about 5 games back to back of nothing but trolls or kids who are like "You didn't leash for me im ganking for you im afking in jungler" to kids that just don't understand how to play and give horrible advice to others. Like "WTF did you say seriously???" then I cant even go negative because if I do I get trolled as well. Please fix matchmaking where its more in your "area" of skill rather then playing against a bunch of people who are evidently in the "learning" phase of the game. Does this only happen to me?

I Agree I actually made a post about this earlier.

I am silver 5 and in normals I get qued with plats and diamonds. Not even fair or to the point its a learning advantage. I rather be around my own skill level so I can work on mechanics instead of being outplayed most the time if I get laned against a P5

I'm unranked and most of my games in the past month have paired me with high Gold, Platinum, low to mid Diamond, and one Master player for normals. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with it. I can get some experience with different strategies in the game, practice against skilled opponents (who are typically willing to give advice or point out mistakes after the game if I ask nicely), and the general atmosphere is good as well (everyone is experienced enough with the game that I rarely see raging or verbal abuse).

I'll admit, I was a little annoyed by it at first (most people don't find getting stomped fun), but it pointed out some glaring holes in my play which I have been working to fix up. I may have lost some at first, but I feel I've improved quite a bit from these experiences. Also, it was good practice at how to play when I'm behind or getting farm when I can barely stand under my own tower without dying (as Irelia vs Riven and Maokai vs Darius, when they first blooded me early), which I didn't have much experience with before.

The only time it's an issue is when I am attempting to learn champions I'm unfamiliar with, but I typically manage to do decently and not feed (and occasionally actually help carry). I guess it's all a matter of mindset as I don't really mind losing games if I've learned something from it.

You know you have a separate mmr for ranked and normals right? So if you hardly ever touch normals it will probably be a bad mmr.
