Behavior in games that are completely imbalanced...

It's atrocious. It's just not even fun to play at that point. People are toxic in ways you would NEVER see in a normal game.

I don't mean skill or mmr or anything.

I mean when you take a group of level 18 levelers without runes barely have a keystone (some don't) and are just starting the game queue into 2 Gold players and a silver carrying 2 level 5 accounts.

I understand normals is essentially luck of the draw but this is fucking ridiculous that it can happen. I'm all for working my ass off to win a game but it's like fighting an LCS player when you don't have runes or full masteries or even a full champ pool to counter them.

I think they should base normal groups on the highest ranked player and queue them against all level 30's if they're going to try to power level accounts.

If you're referring to more experienced players being matched up with accounts that aren't even level 30, I've been seeing that a lot lately. I have around 3,000 normal games played and have been sitting in Platinum for the past 2 seasons, yet when I queue with friends, I often am matched with accounts that haven't even hit level 30. I don't check my in-game matchups every game, so I don't know how often it occurs, but one of my friends does that and will point out anything we don't see often (high Diamond or accounts that aren't 30).

I wouldn't say it's toxic unless they start acting toxic, but the fault seems to be more with the matching system in groups rather than the players themselves. Regardless, matchmaking still has some quirks and certainly the whole alternate account or even power-leveling/boosting needs to be looked at. It's not good for anyone when people exploit the game at others' enjoyment.

Exactly. And this game was only the start of tonights absurdity. Next game I was against a Diamond V bot lane. Game after that Gold II and Silver mid and support. And then went up against a Plat II Jungler... MY TEAM WAS UNDER LEVEL 20... how do we queue into people in diamond and plat? It shouldn't even allow the match up.

My team flamed me the whole game as a level fucking 18 jungler against a Plat II Jungler. I was ww, they were Kayle. Literally they were 6 before I was level 4. Not because we took different jg paths. Not because I'm bad or anything. PURELY because she had full runes and 12 extra masteries. She cleared the jg 1.5 minutes faster just because of that on the first clear. After that the game was over. Did we go... oh look... matchmaking is bullshit? No. My team told me "you suk, you didn't gank as much as she did, you would have if you're gud". This... when it's mathematically impossible for me to do that...

I don't mind about a few levels. Maybe even a random level 30.... but fucking plat's and diamonds? Against what's essentially a newbie account? I'd never play again if I got these queue's as my first games.
