Match making at it's finest

Something I realize that happens a lot is that when I play with my bronze friend, which I don't mind the struggle while playing with him, I seem to be getting pairred up and matched against people of lower skill level as soon as I solo queue in normals. I don't mean to brag and in no way am I half the skill of a pro player. I don't even rank, but I've been a veteran player long enough and seen that at one time I was playing with people around gold and plat players in normals. I just had a game that was seemingly unwinnable. Here are some statistics to look at.

my amount of games won in normals: 1263 teammate 2: 423 teammate 3: 229 teammate 4: 194 teammate 5: 56

enemy 1: 667 enemy 2: 591 enemy 3: 1430 enemy 4: 560 enemy 5: 855

So basically as you can see, the amount of wins with the enemy is waaaay more than my team. I understand that the amount of wins a person has does not necessarily show a persons skill as there are things such as smurf accounts and sometimes those with high wins also have high losses. But one thing a lot of wins do tell is the fact that the player with a lot of wins is more likely to have more experience than a player with less wins unless they were a smurf or a person with more wins is better than the player with low wins because the person with low wins probably plays a lot but just loses a lot. Now this isn't the only game I've had with this imbalanced match making, it's just merely one example. I tend to get these kind of match making 10+ games before I get a team that has a high chance of beating the enemy. These players are around the skill level of my bronze friend who is not really skilled at the game but just plays for enjoyment. Is the reason I am being pairred and matched against players of this skill level because after pairring with him, it changed my match making or something?

some kda from that game as well mine: 5/3/2 teammate 2: 5/9/1 teammate 3: 2/6/4 teammate 4: 1/2/1 teammate 5: 2/7/3

enemy 1: 3/2/10 enemy 2: 7/3/6 enemy 3: 2/3/3 enemy 4: 9/3/4 enemy 5: 6/5/6

Matchmaking in normals is the biggest shit ever made.

Another note is that it just seems to me like I get put into games where I am the equalizer of my team. I'm the one who has to carry because I have 1000+ wins and everyone else has around less than 500. But then it just kinda makes me feel like I HAVE to play carry champs like nasus, veigar, or a strong dueling champ because if I play support or some champ that cannot carry, I just lose since I'm supposed to carry. Might sound cocky or negative or whatever, but to me it just kind of feels that way.
