why do you let people who are level 30 and doing their placements play against golds/plats

The MMR system is really hard to manage I get it but can we plz stop having games where one side feels completely lost when they have 2 lvl 30s and they have to play against gold/plat players, i know their isn't much of a difference between bronze and silver, gold is only slightly a step with most plats being much better than anything mid silver and under. They really need to limit lvl 30s to ranks such as high silver and below. When the lvl 30 has very little understanding of the game compared to a gold/plat player it seems like the game is one sided almost and you cant do that much to help them since they don't want to be helped. In higher elos such as diamond and above its somewhat understandable that you get diamonds in master games or even the rare D5-1 in challenger since the number of players is more limited in those ranks but lower elo shouldn't have to deal with fresh out the gates players that have like 3 or 4 champion they like to play and think that ranked would be easy for them to play despite not knowing proper builds or how to utilize the champion properly. The gap just seems a bit unhealthy.

because they're too busy pushing their "MORE GAMES!" and "FASTER GAMES!" agenda to worry about FAIR games.

I can't recall a time where this wasn't the case. The whole idea of the Placement matches is that your current skill hasn't been tested, and would be woefully mistreated if you weren't pitted against those with and without skill respectfully. What am I going to learn with the introduction into each season, if I'm being coddled with matches against actual new players, and not those who have been long enough to know what kind of mindset to have when going into Ranked?

I got the filthy end of the stick when it came to placements this season, so I can understand the frustration. But there's a very good reason it is the way it is, even if people don't realize it, or agree with it.

It does that because if you win full placements you get gold.

I think the double queues is bringing down the quality of games. At least... ranked consistency.
