Can we please match make based on visual ranks?

I've been running into players who are an entire division above me, who have sub 50% win rates and like 200-300+ ranked games played... and more often than not, they're noticeably worse than the average player at my rank. This shouldn't happen. They should be playing with people around their visible rank-- that way they can actually demote and join the rest of us where we belong.

Rewarding players that haven't improved with a better rank is counterintuitive; and stalling players from reaching the rank which their skill level suggests is also stupid. Ranks are supposed to represent your skill level, not how many ranked games you've played.

Maybe the Plat player is falling in rank and that's why he's matched with you.

Been happening in normals & ranked for years, but only been getting worse every year. I wonder how long it'll take riot to notice.
