Unfair Match Making Possible Solutions

I played a game tonight, in blind pick pvp, with a team of random people (two level 14s, one level 16, one level 11, one level 10. average of 13). Against A team of premades. (One level 30, one level 23, one level 8, one level 6, and one level 18. average of 17)the first 4 were premade. how in the hell does the 13 average team stand a chance in hell? There's not even a learning experience out of this other than if you're solo, you're S.O.L.o. There needs to be some kind of system in place to keep things like this from happening. True level doesnt mean EVERYTHING but you can't deny that most of that team had a DISTINCT advantage. Doesnt help that the level 30 guy is Gold ranked.

Here's what i would suggest to keep things like this from happening. Since we dont want to just ban high levels from playing with low level friends, they could just face a longer que until they come across another team in a similar situation. At least to a point of average levels evening out. Give or take 1 or 2 I could understand. OR place another high level solo que'r in the match to even out the levels.

Something just HAS to be done about that. NO ONE wants to get snowballed in the first 5 minutes of a game because a first time player(s) were put up against an almost pro. Again i see nothing that can be learned from that other than humility maybe. IF you didnt know they had a VERY distinct advantage. Sorry but i just had to rant on that.

Trust me once you get to Ranked and Level 30, its even worst. I'm in Bronze 3, and I was on a losing Streak in Bronze 2 before I dropped (Troll Ashe's that are first time ADC/First time Ashe with 20 farm 15 mins in and 0/6) and I went on a losing streak of 4 games, putting me to like 15 points. Now, the funny thing was, I went into a solo game with a friend and low and behold, there was a Gold 3 on the enemy team which destroyed out top (the gold was a Wukong against a Renekton). Now, there is no way a Gold 3's MMR could have been that bad to placed against people with MMR of Probably Bronze 3 or 4.

The system is broken and no way are Riot gonna fix it because they'll get too many issues and people complaining. It doesn't help either that people smurf which I really think should be a punishable offense. I had a Diamond 1 smurf in my game, they were Silver 5 and I was Bronze 3. Its unfair, completely, but its Riot's fault because they screwed their MMS (Match-Making system). I feel bad for you that you had to go against that team at such a low level mate, I can tell you the same thing happened with me and a friend at that level. 3 Level 30's on the enemy team when we were barely level 12 and at that level you're still learning strategies and how to farm well and such.

I'm sorry this happened to you and I feel your pain, yet Riot will never fix it because they think their system is perfect.

That's fair shit dude. You're only level 11 the real game hasn't even begun.
