Matchmaking frustrations of a new player

Hi everyone.

I am a new player to league and been lvl 27 now.

I have a huge issue... well not an issue for veterans maybe, but for new players this definitly is frustrating.

I am lvl 27 and keep on getting matched up EVERY like literally EVERY game vs plat/gold as lvl 27 sometimes even diamond... I started my mentality with, hey I can learn from them that's nice, they belong to mid-elo to even high elo tiers, however, it is getting frustrating as hell to me. Because no, they dont give advise, instead, they are really toxic towards me. I can have some decent games, but I never ever carry at all... which is fine by me as long as I dont get stomped, however, I have 0 games where I actually stomp, and my team flames on me instead of giving tips on what I make as mistakes. Also, it gets annoying when you die 10 times every game allmost cuz u aint playing at your level... is there anything that can be done against this or do I really have to keep on sucking it up when people flame on me and say, report diana for feed, report this, noob that. Do they think I enjoy feeding? nope.

Basically I'd love to hear your toughts about why the hell I get matched like this every time and what I should do with this behaviour since reporting them don't seem to make a difference and I'm actually scared that I might get a ban or something because I feel like I'm gonna have games where I simply can't take it any longer and will be toxic myself... :(

There's a mute button. Other than that though, the matchmaking doesn't get better. You can usually acuratelly predict games before they even start by looking at OP.gg Usually there's one team with literally (and I do mean literally) twice as many games played and have a higher mmr. It didn't seem that way when I started playing a year ago, but the past 6 or so months gave been like that. Maybe they'll change it, but in my experience league has one of the worst match making experiences I've ever had despite such a large player base. Hopefully they'll change it, but for now all I can tell you is that you can mute people and hope for the best.
