I have done the impossible.

My MMR is too high. I'm a silver player being matched against golds, platinums, and diamonds in teambuilder without many (or any) of them on my team.

How is this even possible.

Teambuilder has it's own separate MMR if I recall correctly. That, and it skews it's MMR results for people when they're playing a champion for the first time or playing in a role they're less familiar with. All of this results in some very odd matchmaking there, which makes me feel like it's a less reliable gauge of MMR than Normals.

You get better and then you play with people who are in normals who probably dont play normals often.

so their ranked mmr is high but their normal mmr might be 1000 games old.

Teambuilder uses ranked MMR? This is a legitimate question, I don't know anything about it.

It uses ranked MMR as a starting point, I believe. Either ranked or normals MMR (and my normals mmr is complete shit).

As I understand, your normal mmr is the average of ALL games you play, while rank cares only about your ranked games.

I'm pretty sure team builder has a seperate MMR from ranked or normals, with its own starting point (which is why you're being matched with diamonds, because their MMR hasn't had a chance to rise up to diamond level yet) but I could be wrong. Also what DrCyanide said about your MMR being adjusted based on the champ/lane/role you're playing.
