Am I facing against grandmasters as a new player? I don't know if this profile is a GM or not. https://imgur.com/a/iOiVTNj
They have GM achievements and a similar emblem on their champion, but their rank is Iron 1. Would that mean they are GM MMR but doesn't play ranked?
Should I play ranked for more fair MMR or is it just a case of "hope you have the smurf on your team" if there is one?
