Earth to riot please fix your game. (A bit of a rant)

I wanna know why I'm gold 5 and getting placed with bronze 1's? If I am not allowed to queue with my bronze friends then surely you cant let me be in queue with a bronze player. Your matchmaking needs to be put into question and you need to tweak the way you make that algorithm. Just a thought maybe I might be over reacting but it seems unfair.
