@Riot: Fix Normal Matchmaking so games are not lost/won for like 50%+ before Game even starts

First: English isnt my native language, so sry.

Gold 4 Gold 1 Level 16 Silver 1 Plat 4

vs

Level43 Gold 3 Dia 3 Plat 2 Dia 2

Beside the fact there were 2 smurfs, Level 16 and Plat 2 ADC, the System cant filter it because smurfs are allowed for whatever reason (money of course). Anyway...

I mean... this isnt fair in any universe. There is a reason why you play in sports only against the same level / skill. And there is no reason in League why riot cant do this (or why riot deleted team ranked...), it is just about preferences. And i, like i guess any other in the community, prefer to search 5 minutes instead of 1 min for a game, when this game is much better balanced. And btw, hands down, the Q-Time is so incredible short since riot changed it a long time ago, when the client was new. I dont know how long u need to wait for a lobby, but in 90% its not even 30 Seconds (Support Main). And yes i know supp Q is faster and i think because of my XP also with 2 or 3 mates in Queue, it takes usually not more than 90 seconds. You can adjust this in every elo like u want, but in low elo are enough players online, even at midnight. Or set a timer like in Rocket League, that u search in a bigger "Elo-Pool" when u reach 5 Minutes.

But imho the quality of the games due to matchmaking overall got so bad over the last ~2 years. Normal Games Queue become useless, escpecially Beginner / "Casual Silver-and-lower" player getting frustrated tremendously and giving up after 3-10 minutes. Nobody cares about the game and riot dont punish bad behavior when it dont happen in the chat.

PS: i tried that for myself on an other smurf-account and violated the rules on purpose, just to see what will happen and how long it takes. In Ranked, not in Normal. At least i can say, i made 5 ppl happy and 4 ppl sad, so morally acceptable for me. After 5 Games of doing things i would 100% demand a ban for, nothing happenend. i mean, i ran it pretty hard down and literally inted, just kept in mind not to trigger AFK Buster in 3 of 5 games which maybe could have distorted the "result". Result: 10 Games Chat Restriction. Sidenote: I reported all Player who flamed me hard with "kys" etc. and got a feedback message. really perverted. Pretty disgusting Riot allows it so hard to sabotate the game after not being even able to make fair teams when not playing ranked. Of course i got the CR for being toxic and cynical or for chatting 15 min without interruption.

But not in Normal Games. Ranked Q have a good balance and dont need so much more time.

So the solution ... is to play ranked ... where your performance matters?

so go play ranked? what is it with people wanting normals to be another ranked? GO PLAY RANKED IF YOU WANT CLOSE MATCHES! normals is literally there to have a casual mode where people can go, try out new things play with friends regardless of skill lvls and just generally let off some steam. People by default do not try as hard in normals. You can have everyone being in the same rank and it would literally change nothing since people would be playing all sorts of dumb things that they might not even know how to use in any capacity. Why the hell you want high ello players to have literally no place where they can play games without needing to wait over 30 minutes for a single game? GO PLAY RANKED!
