It's 100% ruining my gaming experience. I don't care about ranked games, all i want is have fun in norms, but i keep getting matched against high gold/plat players while everyone in my team is silver. I don't have fun getting steamrolled.

Normals has a separate MMR from Ranked. A rule of thumb is the higher someone's rank the less time they've spent "climbing" in Normals, which means the system thinks they're on par with you and your silver teammates.

You likely play much better than a Silver player and you will climb to a higher rank. In Ranked it is very rare to have games with full plat vs full silver.

the thing I'm annoyed by is the seemingly much higher rate of high gold/plat players being on the enemy team than my team. it feels like they're on the opposing team with much greater frequency than they're on my team.
