Matchmaking seems to be somewhat... inconsistent?

This is not a thread about complaining over shitty teammates, but more about something else: Matchmaking seems to be even weirder than In the previous seasons. My performance in most games is average and somewhat consistent - sure, sometimes I get fed in lane and sometimes I lose early and get carried, but overall those cases are rare and also even up ultimately.

However, at the same time the skill of my teammates and the enemy seems to be under extreme fluctuation. Somtimes I get teammates that could as well be called "the tilt squad" and that I could not carry even if I was Faker, and sometimes I get teammates so godly that I might not even need to play. I farm my lane as adc, start hitting the tower while the enemy has backed after some heavy poke - at the same time they are busy trashing the inhibitor turret while being 20 kills ahead.

This extreme fluctuation seems to be the cause of the extreme stompyness of games tho. Now, what classifies as a stomp? From my recent games I would say it's about 25-30 kills at 20 minutes with the enemy team barely having half of that or less while also having only taken one turret and MAYBE one dragon if they managed to cheese it early.

However such games are no fun for both sides. And both sides exactly knew who has won already - after all this is not bronze where three consecutive throws just give a 20 kill lead away, nono, people here if they are good ususally know what they are doing. Sure, occasionally I'd like a good stomp. And if it happens once in a while getting stomped doesn't feel so bad. Unlucky, but well, that happens.

But if this is the new standart? I wouldn't be surprised if this would cause an actual increase in over toxicity - there is a difference in just losing a game and losing it so hard it might as well be a public humiliation.

And part of that problem seems to be rooted in the matchmaking. I do not mind if I have to wait two minutes more if it me if that means more balanced games tbh. I'm sick of all the stomping and getting stomped...
