Weird unfair ranked game match making system

I am a poor Gold II player, however, starting from 8 days ago, when I was Gold III, the match making system has been constantly giving me at least 3 platinum players (plat V to plan III) in the enemy team. Feel free to check my match history and confirm that. I know the match making system is not strictly based on elo, however, shouldn't getting 3 plat enemies be a rare thing for a Gold II or III player?

I got rated as S-, S, or S+ in >80% of my games, however, I still lost a lot of games. It is not fun, and it is not fair. Could Riot please stop putting so many platinum players into my game? Forcing a gold player to fight against at least 3 platinum is definitely not what a normal match making system should do. I even feel that the match making system is controlling your match result or win rate by arranging different elo distributions in the two teams.

Anyone has idea why that happens to me? and does anyone know what should I do to avoid fighting against plat players when I am a Gold player?

True! I won easily 3 matchups in a row, then I lost hardly 3 matchups in a row. The first three were like playing against Bots. The other three were painful, everybody was crazy, it was impossible to set a goal or help each other.

I think the system goes like this: if you win a lot, you must be good, so let's face stronger players then. But then the stronger ones are so much stronger you can't even make through the game.

What I do to avoid those stronger teams is playing ranked until I lose a game of 5 dummies (including me) vs 5 kinda pro players. I'm at the bottom Gold V. I get 17 pdl from an easy win and lose 21 pdl from an easy loss.

I wonder how many people suffered from the match making system. When it decides you must lose, then you must lose, to make that happen, it gives you high elo opponents.
