Normal matchmaking is straight garbage

Am i skilled enough to face 2 diamonds and 2 plats in my team? No. I am not. Definitely not my other teammates. this match making is not fair in any way. there is nothing anybody can say to justify such bad matchmaking.

I don't care that normal MMR and ranked MMR are separate. I queue up for normals to have fun. match maker should NOT allow this stupid shit to happen. this game was not fun. not at all. https://imgur.com/NRThRA0

this is complete bogus. i am playing this game to have fun. getting stomped by 2 diamonds and 2 platinums is not fun.

The amount of times this has happened to me too. Honestly, I've given up on trying to bring attention to this. Riot doesn't care if it doesn't make them money.

Norms MMR isn't the same as ranked MMR, norms just doesn't have a visible LP system to show you what 'normals rank' you are.

There's also the problem of there being premades in normals, making MMR rather pointless for the most part.

As i said, i don't care that those 2 modes have separate mmr. i don't want to play against these people. this is absolutely r%%%%%ed. don't even try to justify this total bullshit

In that case, who are they supposed to play against? You realize the pool for diamond players in normal games are extremely limited. They'd experience extremely long queues.

Besides, it's not like they even play like higher ranking players the majority of the time. They don't go into normal games playing their main role and trying their hardest. They screw around with friends most of the time.

One final thing- if you want evenly matched teams, play ranked. That's a clear solution you can do right now to match with people closer to your rank. You want fair competitive matches. They don't happen in normal games for a LARGE variety of reasons. Ranked is literally the mode that you're looking for. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than normal games.

These 2 diamonds shouldn't be in the same team and ruin the enemy team's game. They must be placed in the opposite teams for fairness and if they are premades then they must wait longer for another premades. But normal matchmaking doesn't work like that and that's reason why it is garbage.

How about, not put them all in the same team? Pretty much what the guy below me said

i played ranked, me being an unraneked player and i got matched agaisnt 4 golds. im like wtf?? also. if diamonds players want to mess around in normals why should they be ones to have fun and stomp low elo players? why should they not be matched against other diamonds or at least platinum. and dont give me mmr and skills.
