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.
