I'm sick and fucking tired of normals match making.

I am a guy who doesn't like smurfing but honestly I'm going to have to if I ever want to play with my girlfriend and win.

When I queue up with her these are the teams like every fucking time.

My team: Plat 3 (me) Bronze 3 Bronze 4 Bronze 5 Silver 5

Enemy team: Gold 3 Gold 4 Gold 5 Silver 2 Gold 5

Those teams are not fucking fair. I cannot carry that shit.

Lolskill always gives my team like a 20-40% chance of winning because the MMRs are so disproportionate.

there is a difference between normal game mmr and ranked games mmr you must have shit normal mmr and same goes for the enemy team. i personally have plat 5-diamond 5 normals mmr so i always get good players on both teams

Yah but I can't increase my MMR when I do insanely well and get put with a bronze 5 adc who goes 5 and 15 with 100 cs at 40 min in the game.

I see no reason why normal MMR shouldn't mirror ranked MMR.

Because then one of two things has to happen:

People earn ranked MMR from playing normals
People win normals and the matchmaker continues to match them at the same level

Both of these will result in mismatched games in the long run.

..... the games are already insanely mismatched now. Wtf is the difference then?

It would make it worse, that was my point. Why would you want to make it worse?

I always thought it would make sense to at least have normal mmr and ranked somewhat connected. Like within a tier. I get what your saying but that's also assuming everything is all or nothing. No give or take. I think it would make sense to not have them necessarily mirror each other, but be somewhat connected.

There is no reason to have normal mmr of bronze and be plat in ranked and assume that is a good match up. No reason the plat ranked player shouldn't have at least gold mmr. I would just use like a tier's worth of elo to separate them if a players normal mmr is low compared to their ranked.

I suppose something similar to decay could work, where if you don't play normals for a long time your MMR starts to drift towards your ranked MMR. But part of the problem is that normals MMR will always be flawed - the matchmaker prioritizes wait time over game quality and there is a larger difference between how people play normals. Almost everyone in ranked is serious, relativley speaking, but a lot of people play normals with varying levels of silliness and memes. People's normal MMR is probably never going to be as good of a measure of their skill as Ranked MMR.
