Why Am I ALWAYS Paired With Silvers??

Ok, guys, before the hate, I will say it myself. I AM NOT "THAT" GOOD OF A PLAYER.

There, now that that's out of the way... I am currently Gold 2 and the only way I know to check somewhat of an MMR is na.op.... So I check and it's normal.

The past games I have lost I have been getting paired with Silvers 2 sometimes even lower and always on my team...

Everyone plays well, or decent EXCEPT the silvers...
Last game I had 2 silver players on my team and it's always the Silver ones that start to troll and intent feed, or just plain give up..

I had a Gold 5 duoing with a Silver 2 on my team, the Gold 5 (MMR is below) and still gets paired with me in my ELO...

Why is it I keep getting Silvers in my game at Gold 2 when (according to the not so reliable site) says my MMR is normal...

The past few loses I have had, it's paired with Silver players.

I just checked the last 3 games you lost on Leagueofgraphs. In the game you had s2/g5 dou, the other team also had a s2 but you were the highest ranked player by two divisions. The last game you played the other team also had 2 silvers albeit they were s1 in comparison to one of youre teammates being s2, but that silver 2 was doing better stat wise than anyone else on your team that game. he had better KDA, Farm, gold, and level. The pattern also continued with you being 2 divisions higher than anyone in that game aswell. Honestly it looks even ranked wise in those games.

Honestly this is a large reason for my post in "whats the point of ranked" The orignal point is so you get paired with people of higher elo the more you climb, but if we are constantly being paired with people of lower elo to lower the que times, than what's the bloody point?

looks like your mmr is just bad

you realise op.gg's algorithm isnt actually accurate right?

I get High Silver players occasionally as someone in Gold II as well, but they are usually duoing with another player in low gold. Hell I played with my friend in ranked regularly and he was high silver (he just got into gold) and those were the matches I saw silver players.

I would write the games off as anomalies or perhaps your MMR is a bit lower than the norm. NAOPGG's mmr is terribly inaccurate and it is just a very very loose approximation. I don't take is seriously at all.
