Why is normal matchmaking so bad?

How come in normals you can have two golds, two bronze and one plat against 3 silvers and two unranked people? I know "oh, it's just normals so what" It's not fun to go into a game and get stomped because they have people who are two or more divisions higher then you and your team. Especially if you are trying to practice a champ but you can't cause you are just getting shit on cause they are just a far better player.

Because Normals and Ranked do not share MMR, so you can have lower or higher MMR in normals than you do in ranked depending on how you do or how much you play....

bro the enemy lee sin was plat and our reksai was first time reksai/jg not even placed in ranked hahahahahaahaha. unlucky or is this game just not balanced at all. Oh the rest of the enemy team was silver 2+. we had a gold kat who couldnt beat a silver 2 lux xD and a gold morgana who i just dont know how they even got to gold... if they can i can be diamond.

and i was the bronze in the team like usual yet im the only who did decent like always xD

P.S. i got camped early ofc im a riven main, lee killed me at lvl 4 and 6. Insec tower dive style at 6, he was pretty good.

Normal is the same as ranked except you can't see your rank in normals. They are 2 seperate queues so they have different MMR. This just means that the high ranked people don't play normal queue much, so they have really low MMR.

Don't give up hope. In the mean time, when you play normal's, play it for the sake of getting better and working on being able to carry in exactly those types of games. It will make you that much better in ranked later down the line.

FIX MATCH MAKING RIOT!!

Even so, they should have some quality standards in matchmaking. We were with 4 unranked and a bronze up against 3 silvers, a gold and a diamond player and our opponents had played over 7 times as many games as we had. We were predicatably crused in every postion, but the sad thing is that RIOT didn't.
