That's a problem then. If you're plat you're just going to dumpster people in normals if you've never played normals. MMR needs to be aggregated across all game modes because honestly, they're not that different.
Well if you do play normals and you are much better than the people you play with, that means you win consistently, when you win consistently, your MMR goes up, when your MMR goes up, you play against better people.
Why is it OK for me to get placed vs. Plat/Gold players in normals when it's not OK in ranked? There isn't a difference in their skill level when they aren't playing ranked.
They are normal games, so yeah it is. W/L means nothing to anybody in normal games, that is why MMR is hidden.
It's not really hidden when there's a 21/3 player on your team. I don't think you realize how shitty it is for a bronze player when a gold+ queues up against them.
Normal game MMR =/= Ranked game MMR
I would upload this screenshot I have from a while back but it isn't letting me. I was playing Dominion and my entire team was solo queue, one gold, one platinum, and 3 unrankeds. The enemy team was a 5-man premade all challenger team. Ranked MMR has literally 0 effect on other modes MMR
