First of all i am pretty sure every queue is handled individually and they dont affect each other aka your normal mmr doesnt affect your ranked mmr . Secondly i have played both on botted accounts mainly aram feeding and self leveled accounts some mainly played normals , and some mainly played bot games I have a total of 10 Accounts 6 made in season 6 , i can clearly tell you with no doubt , that there is 0 difference in the way you leveled up your account when talking about matchmaking in Ranked . I have placed all of those accounts into Gold 3 Platinum 4 and i have never started my placements with Bronze players , they were always either silver or gold in the very first match <| sep |> IGN BradanRattata A Female lvl 3 larvestamodest ditto pref
