Isn't that the point of the matchmaking? If you rise too fast, the system adjusts matchmaking by your MMR and starts placing you with people that are slightly higher than you in order to see if you can play at that ELO. If that's a correct assessment, you sometimes may even skip divisions (like skip from G5 to G3). If that's not a correct assessment, your MMR drops and the next game(s) is already with opponents closer to your Division and Tier.

You clearly got placed in Silver but you're playing better than an average Silver player. The system cannot magically transport you to a higher Tier and Division, you have to through those Tiers and Divisions yourself. Therefore, if your MMR is higher, you will get paired with higher ranked people. You can skip divisions if you rank up but that only applies if your MMR suddenly is quite a bit higher than in your Tier.

The matchmaking system isn't placing you with the same Tiers and Divisions in games, it's placing you with the people with similar MMR to you. MMR is hidden from us, we only see LP and sometimes, your division ranking doesn't have to correspond to your MMR accurately, depending if you've won or lost games in a row.

The system isn't broken at all. It's making fair matches based on MMR. You are S1 but it paired you with mid-high Gold and 2 P5 players (essentially high Gold). Your MMR is closer to Gold than Silver.

I wouldn't give too much credit to the plat 5's either, since they could have an MMR anywhere in the gold 4 to actual plat 5 range (since you won't get demoted a tier until you're division 5 of the tier below MMR), and considering they were in that game, are probably actually gold 3ish MMR.

Your team is on average gold 3 or so (theres you as 'only' silver 1, but offset somewhat by the gold 1 on your team), and since the plat 5's are probably playing at a gold level, and so it was roughly fair in principle.

If your actual skill level turns out to be not quite mid gold level, losing a few games should pull you back to a more appropriate low gold (or even high silver if you've just had a lucky streak).
