I wanted to have a good game with summoners around my level 9-11, since im level 10 so i found out if a level 10 or similar pre mades with high levels, then it breaks the matchmaking

i was vs an Oalf top who was level 20, had keystone mastery thunderlord decree

that is a 10 level disadvantage I had

we lost the game But I won the lane so I feel better and confident in my skills

However, not all new players can do this , so ill like to report this matchmaking system so riot or whoever in charge can make sure, if ur 5 levels or above

you CAN NOT MATCHMAKE with lower levels

**ex: lvl 10 can not match make with 5 or below, or 16 or above lvl 20 can not match make with 15 or below but can matchmake with 20+ due to tier 3 runes being available to all at that point

please upvote so it gives new players a better experience**

better new player experience would be to drop the whole leveling process.

what you're suggesting is simply a band-aid on a much bigger wound.

a wound that a band-aid cannot heal. This problem needs surgery.

I feel like someone should let you know. The reason this thread is being downvoted is likely because it does not belong in the PB&M subforum because this has nothing to do with player behavior nor acts of moderation. Gameplay or Misc might've yielded better results.

As for the actual post content, it might help to understand that the keystone mastery a very new addition to the game. In a bigger picture, the skill difference between 10 levels is negligible. In the old mastery system, sure having the ones at the bottom made a difference, but they weren't nearly as game changing as the new keystone masteries. Also, this complaint about the new player experience was brought up long before the keystone mastery system went live and even immediately following its release. So Riot is already aware of the negative effects it has on the new player experience. They simply haven't done anything at this point.

Honestly, it would be better to simply have all masteries available from level 1 so they players don't face disadvantages simply from being a lower level (account) than their opponents.

I think doing a tiered Win System like Blizzard does would be the best "leveling" mechanic. The more you win, the more you get matched against high win players. Once you break 100 wins, you can jump into ranked games.

Try facing plat players when in bronze.

That is a minor form of imbalance, but I understand why it's annoying. Just keep improving on your basic mechanics and most people will lose regardless of level.
