I do not understand matchmaking

The first game of my series for gold V had someone who was in their PLACEMENTS. Needless to say we lost because of him and I don't understand why this draven with 230 k points with draven was put into my game. I would appreciate if someone enlightened me.

New players have to be placed somewhere. Riot decided it was more fair to put them in Silver than Bronze. /shrug

I mean, 230,000 mastery points is a lot. It's more than I have on Jinx. The guy is clearly experienced, even if he's new to ranked.

So is the secret to climbing the ladder is to pick new champs you have not over played yet then. So it garentees you would be the so cald less skilled player on the team?

If so im doing this asap :)
