win streak auto loss

why does the game suddenly put you vs player who are WAY better than you normally face when you get on a win streak? if i win 3 or 4 games at bronze 2 im suddenly facing a full team of silver 1 (which IS my skill level except I'm currently PLACED in bronze 1)

granted i only lose about 12 lp for a loss and gain about 23 for a win so the game clearly knows i'm ranked too low

but and i know all my oppeonts skill level becuase i used lolking's "live match" function to see what they were ranked season 5

and i KNOW I'm not actually bronze 1 as i have climbed out of bronze and into silver EVERY season. Im probably silver 3 or silver 2

which can easily climb to when im facing players who are ACTUALLY bronze 2.

but i win 4 games in a row vs bronze 1 players and suddenly im facing three silver 1 players and two silver 2 players. im good but im not THAT good..

granted.. we put up one hell of a match and it was probably the most even fight i think i have had in months.

but what i"m trying to get at is.. even though the players you just put me at ARE my skill level

im not RANKED at my skill lvl..

if i had to fight these players when I'm RANKED silver 2 i wouldn't care.. in fact it would be perfect

but im trying to CLIMB to at least my old position of silver 3, and hopefully regain my silver 1 that i held in season 3

yes the teams were balanced.. YES it was a great match.. but if you put me vs players who ARE my skill level i cant CLIMB.

im not comlaning that i losst to a game that was balanced.. infact im happy the game was balanced it was really fun. but i expect the game to give me a balanced match when im at my proper elo.. not when just becuase i won 4 games in a row at a lower elo im trying to climb in because you lowered everyone's ranking at the start of the new season.

if the game THINKS im bronze 1.. them PLACE me vs bronze 1 so i can climb out...

if they games thinks im silver 2 (which i am) then WHY does it have me placed in bronze 1?

Because you are winning thats why. What is the sense of matching you up with the same level people you have been winning against? And honestly the gap between B1 and S1 isnt all that drastic, maybe slight mechanical skills advantages. The system might start putting you up against better opponents but how is that surprising when you are on a win streak?

I was gold 3 last season. After placements I'm back to silver 3, and even dropped To silver 4. Only issue I have right now is that since I always play ranked solo, I get teamed with a 4mam premade of much lower Mmr then I, and then matchmaking puts us against a team of much higher Mmr. So every lane on opponent side gets fed, except mine, since basically it's golds vs low silvers. Matchmaking thinks it has to make up for the communication "advantage" that this 4mam premade has and then they put me in there to even out Mmr. And yea I don't lose much lp, but it doesn't really matter, I think 6/7 of my last solo ranked games have resulted in me being grouped with a 4man premade. Weird too cause I played two ranked the other night as a trio with two friends and we won heavily, unfortunately they play at different times than I. My whole point? Stop making opponents of premades in low elos have such a higher Mmr because of the "communication" advantage. There is no communication at that elo... And yes I'm sure someone will say "but the Mmr isn't that different" But it is. Let's say we have a group of 4man premades of silver 5s/ team with ma and go up against a full group of gold 5s. 9/10 the golds will win. And sure I can carry a game or three, but, not every single game
