Look at this. Ten games into ranked and I'm silver 1, playing vs golds and plats. Every game. How does this make ANY sense? If I impressed you THAT much in promos, then at least give me gold. You want me to beat plats in order to advance from silver.
LazyW0lf7 votesIt's because of your MMR. Higher MMR means more LP gains and less LP losses, but also means you're being placed with higher tier players. IMO, this is weird because in your situation, with high Gold MMR, you should be in high Gold...not Silver 1.
It doesn't make any sense that you should be facing someone in Plat when you're Silver and if you have a high enough MMR to justify playing against them, you should be at the appropriate rank. The only time you should ever be playing with anybody in a different tier than you is during promos to that tier or Diamond+.
Drugoth5 votesI'd say the only reason he's still stuck in silver is either because he was just put in there because that's what the system does or because he can't get past the ridiculous best of 5 system that for some reason tends to put you in the same team as the most toxic players in league.
Jasiwel1 votesIt can also be due to premades. I'm Silver IV atm and half of my games have Golds as a result of premades. It's problematic because I have to play as well as someone in Silver 1 or Gold just to climb low Silver. It feels bad and adds a lot to the stress, and I've NEVER hit Gold before.
Sozan53 votesHe probably doesn't have high gold MMR. He's probably sitting at low-mid gold MMR and he is fighting against Plats that are also at low-mid gold MMR (take note that all of the Plats are Plat V and 3 of them have very little LP).
He will probably get gold soon.

doombotMECHA1 votesI like how the plats are exclusively on the enemy team
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesit happens everywhere. welcome to dynamic queue
Seenan2 votesI'm backwards atm. I'm in plat facing low to high golds because my mmr flopped due to feeders+toxic peeps. Feelsbadman.
Drugoth2 votesThe system almost always places you in silver even if you go 10-0 in your placement matches. You usually have to climb to your proper position after that. As for the reason you're getting matched with golds and plats... I think the only thing we can blame that on is dynamic queue and those players MMR being much lower than it should be for that division. Either that or the premade groups are so out of whack that the MMR balancer has no idea how to deal.
Anyone's guess really as to the true nature of why this is happening. Personally I just look at it this way: maybe I really am so good that I deserve to be matched with those guys!
Unstoppable Monk2 votesYeah that is a little weird.
Veigarisgod11 votesYou are placed more off your MMR then your elo. Blah blah blah LP etc. I'm not an expert on it.
Itankyou1 votesIt's a bullshit system. I'm playing against diamonds and they are shoving bronze people on my team. And then they cry when I have to run it mid cuz what the fuck is the point.
Gary B Enkelis1 votesI don't think this happens in ranked, but I dunno.

zero3561 votesDude, I feel you Mine isn't as bad, and you can check op.gg.na for specifics, but golds and unranked and the occasional plat and holy shit. I'm playing to prove I'm better than is silver so let me play silvers. Silver II to Gold V, plz rito plz
Darth StepVader1 votesDue to this season's dynamic queue, not only is the system unable to matchmake premade groups of similar elo but, players of low elo have made it to higher ranks. So, some of those high gold/plats you're facing are either a part of a premade group that Riot matchmade with a premade group on your side(despite it having possibly lower elo players) or those high golds/plats simply have very low mmr and are in a rank that they do not belong in.
Nuparu1 votesthat could honestly be a 4stack on your team vs a 5 on the enemy team
your MMR is low enough (literally. silver 1 isn't that high, not offensive but in objective sense) to balance out the high golds/plats and enemy low golds/plats

Well if I'm put in a game simply as a "balancer" then that is a huge problem. If I'm silver with 4 "high plat" teammates vs 5 "low plat" teammates, I should not be in that game at all. Imagine the stress on me and the rage I will induce on my teammates when I feed like hell. If there aren't enough 2- 3- and 4-man premades to allow for balanced matchmaking then that shows that dynamic queue needs to be reverted. You can't blame a toxic community when your system is encouraging it.
Nuparu1 votesiunno if that's the reason or not it's just a guess on my part, i've been thrown into games with gold 5s-plat 3 dynamics as a diamond 5 before lol
Stanford Pines1 votesThis happened to me too when I was climbing my way from Silver IV (5-5 in my placements,2nd season) to Gold V (Gold II atm) It rebalanced when I reached Gold IV (ish) and matches you with similar golds, but it's still annoying to play against plats in silver
ofart1 votesthere's too much skill variance for teams
Gora T1 votesBeen there, done that.
ViciousSummoner1 votesYou just have high mmr and the guys in plat are probably like 2 games away from being demoted back into gold.
