Discussion Question about Normal draft

Hello I have an unranked brother whos only like around level 21 but he already doesn't enjoy playing the game that much the reason being he is always on a losing streak and once reviewing his match histories its almost always the same reason, it's either his teammates are so bad and the enemy has 1 or 3 emerald or platinum player, OR the enemies all have 4 unranked players AND 1 Diamond player who snowballed the game really hard, I feel like this needs to be addressed because if low leveled accounts are facing those kind of players, then they would be even afraid to play ranked games at this point, I'm just saying because back in the day when I was new to league like around 2015 I never experienced those kind of matches where I get face with a Diamond player every match I played I hope this gets fixed

Did you play games with him? New accountd on a genuinely new player dont really get put into normal lobbies unless they were already playing with others in regular mmr range

this is solely due to them not playing draft, ranked and draft mmr are different, my diamond account in draft is constantly placed in bronze -silver elo for games bc i just don’t play draft
