Can Someone answer this MMR ranking question

So last 4 ranked games mid silver tier I've been matched with 1-2 people in my team that have under 30 games in ranked if not just 10. I myself have hundreds of games played and feel like the system is broken or something cause there's no possible way someone with under 50 games ranked is at the same skill level as me period. The problem gets amplified as i main support which is the worst possible role to be to try and carry games.

Has anyone else had this issue as it is extremely annoying and makes me not even want to play LoL ranked.

Games does not determine skill level especially mid silver. People can create smurfs and acquire elo without playing hundreds of games since they already play at a higher level therefore it is easier to climb if they're playing in silver.

But isn't that answer the main problem right there which can be fixed easily....

Lol of course its possible. The dude with under 50 games is like that guy who never studies but gets the same mark as you. He's just naturally better than you. Some people have to work hard to get to a certain level while other's are just naturally talented. Stop stressing lol.

I totally understand that but I've yet to see that person who finished placements and matched my level in ranked. Maybe it's just my bias or facts but if you lolking my profile you'll see my main support is almost at 50% win rate which is way above average player thus this situation is gimping me from reaching my gold ranked potential....

Silver is pretty rough like that because it's where everyone gets dropped at first, and also the people in placement matches will show up in you games to test them against your skill level. That's kind of just how it is for this tier :/ although I don't think what you say is entirely true because how many ranked matches a person has isn't necessarily how many games they have played, often people play mostly normals and go to ranked from time to time when they're feeling good. Others are just naturally talented and are going to gold pretty quickly. MMR isn't affected by how many games you've played but just by how you've done in the games you have played.

Its not affected by how you did at all. You can do well and the rest of your team can still lose a game for you and screw your MMR

Ah, poorly phrased on my part

unless they are a smurf or have played over 5000 normals and are just starting ranked.

or maybe they are a natural at League, or maybe someone with previous experience in MOBA's, or maybe someone who has watched a lot of high elo games and learned something useful, or maybe... well you get where i am going with this ;)
