In what situation does a silver two player come into a game with all gold 3 players?

I really would love to know how that match up is that possible when the silver player literally goes 2/13. Please tell me what kind of algorithm exists for this to be possible.

There's very little difference in skill between a silver 2 player and a gold 3 player. You also failed to mention that you're a gold 3 player with a 43% winrate, meaning your mmr is likely low compared to your rank.

Looking further into your match history, not that long ago, you were in a game with primarily g2/g1 players, in which you went 4/12. Why didn't you complain about the matchmaking in that game?

That's not too bad. I had a Bronze 1 player in a match with primarily people that were in Gold 2, 1, and Plat 5.

Skill isn't everything either.

There's not any noticeable difference in skill between a high Silver player and a Gold player, but what keeps players in Silver are issues aside from skill. That's why it is one of the most annoying ELOs to climb out of it.

When I get a Silver player in my game in high Gold or low Plat, they usually do something silly like pick a champion they don't know how to play. The game ends up as a loss as a result. You just gotta accept it and move on.
