Ranked system - does it match players of the same level?

I started playing ranked a little while ago, and I feel that the matchmaking system is pretty bad.

Before that I was playing normal, usually with gold+ (diamonds as well). I usually wasn't dragging the team down, and I had decent average KDA (4-6) and winrate (>50%).

I also felt that I understood the core concepts of the game; vision, objectives, when to engage, teamfights priorities, item builds/counter, roaming, champion picks, etc. So... I decided to start playing ranked, maining support and jungle (focusing 1-2 champs on each).

Now, in ranked, I can't seem to pull myself above silver. I have the same KDA & winrate, and yet... The players usually differ from one another a lot in skill, and it's only a matter of who you get in the team dice roll. As support role (even jungler), I feel that it's very hard for me to carry those bad team roll games.

To conclude, I think the rank system is failing to serve its' main purpose; matching players of the same level. I feel that it's a lot better (still not perfect) in normal games.

Thoughts?

In ranked they match you with people that have the same number(mmr) as you, not really equal level of skill if you ask me.
