Ok about my Matches Lately..

I stopped using this acc because I was playing so many bot matches and was too afraid to go in to pvp at lvl 20 and made a new acc.

Now I gotten better but I admit I am a newbie at this game still depending who I am fighting.

Ok now for the reason for this thread.

I seem to fighting people who is not that good at this game like I am and it kinda getting boring to me to be honest.

Because on my other account I am fighting people who has more skill and it is only lvl 15.

But on this account which is lvl 20 I am fighting people that is too easy to fight in my match and I fine it annoying.

Not saying those people are bad because I am bad at this game but they seem worst and it not much of a challege because of that.

Really what I am asking is why am I being match up with unskilled players in nearly almost every match I played but on my low lvl account it is different.

I also made another account which is lvl 8-9 right now and even that account, the players has more skill then my match ups on my lvl 20.

It may be that because you've played relatively fewer PVP matches from your level 20 account, Riot's matchmaking system is assuming you are "less skilled" than you actually are and thus matching you with other players who have played equally as few PVP matches, whereas on your level 15 account, you only played PVP matches (and won many of them) so Riot's system is matching you against more-skilled players on that account.

Keep playing well on your level 20 account, and you will start to be matched up against tougher opponents. Also, when you hit level 30, you will find that the gameplay difficult will increase dramatically.

On a different note, I believe it against Riot policy for a single person to have more than one account.

Just keep playing your level 20 account, level-up to 30, and save up your IP so you can spend it on runes whenever Riot rehauls their rune system.

Also should I report this?

I do not even feel like playing right now because of the too easy to win match ups i had. I will admit this though.there is a few matches was not a easy win or even a win but still.

Idk what website to go on but you can check out my match history and kinda see what I mean by unskilled players match ups.

Try queuing with some friends who are level 30, the queue thing changes and it may give you more skilled players.

Basically what has happened here is that your MMR (match-making rating) is probably higher on your smurf account (lower level account) and because of this you are being matched with less skilled players. MMR roughly estimates your skill level based on your performance against various other skill-leveled players. Since you have improved since last playing on your main account, your MMR hasn't caught up to your skill level.

If you continue to play matches and do well, your MMR will rise and be at the appropriate level. Perhaps this is good, as you might enjoy some big win streaks for a while. :)

Something similar happened to my friend; His main lvl 30 account is Platinum ranked, and his level 20ish account is being matched up with Diamond level players on a regular basis. He even went against a pro player in an ARAM! It's just something that happens when you make a new low level account as a higher level player.
