Matchmaking against silver/gold/plat as someone under lvl 30

I'm a new player with a level 26 account. I don't even have all the rune.mastery slots and all my runes are tier 2 runes. I almost always play solo instead of queueing with someone else.

Yet somehow, I keep on finding that the enemy team is full of people in silver. Some times there's even a gold or plat person my team or the enemy team. In some games I'm the only one that's under level 30. I only won about 6 games in my last 20 games.

I think maybe it's because the starting mmr for people going into draft pick is silver. It feels so unfair since I feel I have on influence on the game. I feel like my skill level is so far below everyone else in the game. In some games my team gets stomped and some games 1 or 2 people on my team totally stomps the enemy team.

Any other new players experienced this?

normal mmr =/= ranked mmr.

People can be challenger but if they never play normals, the instant they play a single game of normals they will face bronze/silver/gold players for that one game. Every game you play even while lvling up will increase/decrease your normal MMR so if you are doing well you will face tougher opposition, if the enemy does horrible in normals or just barely play it they won't be facing the type of players they would usually play while playing ranked
