Trying to climb to gold, but only facing plats and diamonds in every game

Can anyone tell me how these games are at all fair? Sure it's flex, but I see plats in solo as well. Literally every game has a plat in it.

Three plats: http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/3196624702/223756830 Diamond (dodged it): http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/3196622199/223756830?tab=overview

What is a diamond doing in silver?

I've been there, but usually trying to get into plat 5. Same difference really. Your mmr might be higher due to a winning streak, but you just want to hit the next tier and it feels unfair fighting plat 3+ when youre just trying to get into plat 5. And flex queue is always a grab bag. Ive hit tons of plats and diamonds on my way through gold. Could be because they just didn't play flex or because they are trying to boost friends. Just keep playing and you'll get there eventually.

That's the road we all have to take due to the lower player pool. I faced plenty of plats and diamonds on my way to flex gold.

Take solace in the belief that if we can do it, so can you.

Boosted Scrublords. A lot of them didn't belong where they were, so they fell back to where they belong.
