I don't get matchmaking

If there is statistically more Gold players than there are Platinum and Diamonds, why are players in Gold consistently getting matched with Platinum+?

Why isn't every Gold Ranked game filled with JUST golds when gold is the giant lump of where the player base resides?

For what reason does Platinum and Diamond need to leak into gold games where there are already an abundance of gold players to match other gold players against?

OH yeah.

Autofill and making sure Diamond players don't get stuck in queue for 8 minutes.

I question that myself. If majority of players are bronze and iron, why is it that me as an unranked gets matched up or against golds sometime and then the other side gets silver and bronze players? It makes absolutely no sense. It's just super random and uneven. I know rank isnt always what determines a players skill or carry potential, but generally it does and generally the side with gold players generally beats the silver. But once in a while I get these gold players who are boosted who play as if they just started playing league yesterday. I dont even know anymore.

Plat is pretty easy given that div 4 is so damm hard to demote from. I cant say I see diamonds in gold mmr much of ever.

Id assume riot has a to wide a range. That positional mmr is allowed to be untethered but again I personaly dont see it happening enough for me to inherently beleive your statement. Just don't think it's common enough to be statistically significant.
