Look, the game tries to keep things at 50% Win/Loss rate, therefore winning a lot in normals pits you against better people and you get teamed up with worse.

The difference between ranked and normals is that ELO is a number you get for your teams performance, and that is how you are matched up with your next team. In normals, the system cares less about balancing the teams out, but the same sorting process is going on.

So yes, ranked just tends to have more motives than normals, quite literally.
