Your match making system sucks

Dear riot,

I am an unranked level 30 with 2 losses on my ranked games. I have absolutely no skill whatsoever to play pvp and only win bots games. I am still a learner and would like to learn better by playing pvp. However, you ranking system, pardon my french, is absolute ****. How am I, a low level with practically no experience whatsoever (43 wins) can be matched with silvers, golds, and sometimes even platinums. This just ruins the gameplay experience for me as i get bullied off my lane. Sure you say, getting owned is a learning experience by itself. but how exactly do i learn when I'm feeding my opponent, and i don't know, staying dead for about half the game. Not only that, I get raged at by the better palyers for not being good enough and get told to go back to bot games. Like wtf do i learn when i play against bots.

Please, FIX YOUR MATCH MAKING SYSTEM. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The normal way to go is from bots -> normals -> ranked. Ranked is when people try hard (i.e. people expect others to know what they're doing). If you're still bad at the game in terms of understanding the champions / items / mechanics, play normals.

I agree with Opticity, i would not suggest ranked until your sufficiently skilled enough. Blind and draft is the best place to learn and practice pvp. Unfortunately its also where most trolls hide from the reds, so thats a bit of a turn off. I would not recommend playing to many bots though. It won't really help increase your skill cap at all. I would especially recommend queuing with some more experienced friends. They can help you learn a role in pvp or a build.

Sona I kind of feel your pain. I am level 22 and almost always get 'owned' in p v p. Most of the time it seems I am against level 30 players with all their masteries, runes, etc. I still mostly play bots because of this, and while you have 43 wins I only have 3 lol. I am not sure what the answer is.
