What's up with matchmaking?

So I was just playing a normal trying to grind out lvl 7 on Yorick and I had an upsetting surprise. I loaded into the game and I saw that my team had a diamond border, gold border, and plat border (the last person was either gold/plat, I can't remember). Now this seems normal, until you notice that I am Silver 4 (in my promos, a little nervous). I was on a winning streak, but I still wonder why I was put with someone who was in DIAMOND. That is just ridiculous to me, if you are in x rank and on a winning streak, you should be put with people one tier above you, not 3, that is just ridiculous.

Normal MMR is different from Ranked MMR. The Diamond clearly had the MMR of a Normal Silver to be matched near you as they obviously don't play Normals often. That is the only reason this happens.
