Matchmaking Broken?

I understand that there is a different mmr for norms vs ranked, but as a high silver/low gold player I have now been put in nearly 24 games in a row where the enemy team has had a higher elo in ranked. I've had 5 diamonds and 3 plats in games against me just in my last 12. I'm sitting at 3/17 in my last 20 and i've never had any streak even close to that. I will say i'm playing kindred and evelynn who i am brand new to, so that has something to do with it, however i'd say about 3 lanes have won laning phase in my past 15 or so games (45 total lanes of course). Again, i've never been put in this many lopsided games in the 2 years i've played. Is there a way that maybe my mmr is broken and showing me as being a lot higher skill level than i am? I've not heard of that before, but this is getting to be pretty miraculous lol. Thanks for any help.

Normals is always like this, theres not real way to fix it without connecting normals mmr to ranked mmr in some way (or have it influence) but i dont think thats a good solution. Hell im a plat player and ive faced soulmario (500-700lp challenger kled main) multiple times. If you want balanced games, play ranked not normals.

Yeah it is the nature of normals currently... unfortunately. You could be going against groups too, one low MMR one High, this would account for some of the miss-matchmaking.

If it makes you feel better I was level 125 and matched with a level 27 account.
