Why is Riot making my ranked so easy?

So I'm Silver 4 building my rank up from placements; if you check my OP.GG http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=modlegendary77 my MMR is above average for Silver 4

; However for some reason every single ranked game I play I'm versus Bronze 2-5, every game; making it incredibly easy to win consistently; I check live game every match and not once has there been a silver in any of my games; I'm just wondering why in the hell this is going on and why Riot is making this so easy for me?

10 games ago, you were 13 wins, 21 losses.

38% percent winrate.

Your MMR is bad, and hasnt gotten back to normal yet.

It's because it's placing you in the ranking ladder of your MMR based on your overall win ratios as well for this season. So it doesn't punish you much if other players in your team have a bad game and make your team lose, also they added this thing to shield you from demotion because you have been doing well with grades and KDA scores but have lost matches anyways (not sure how this entirely works though) :D But don't complain! is not a bad thing! when you climb all the way up where you belong then it will be a different experience

This might be a bug. A better theory is-

You just came out of placements recently, so your mmr is probably 'trash'. Op.gg doesnt use the same algorithm as Riot does. (Check how much LP you get after winning a match) The game thinks you don't deserve silver so it is placing you against bronze opponents to test the waters. Every win you get is raising your mmr, until you reach a 50% winrate. You used to be against mainly silver 4 teams, and now you are against mostly 3 Silver 3s, 1 Silver 4, and 1 Silver 2.

That's just a lucky steak. Don't worry, the reverse will happen soon. You'll just be losing no matter what you do. I been through the same thing at this elo multiple times this season. I just came off a win streak myself and now I'm getting feeders again every game. Just the way it goes.
