Is matchmaking garbage or is it just me ?

How can u truly climb out of an elo when you get nice win streaks, thus raising your mmr, causing you to be matched against players 1-2 whole divisions higher than you while you still have players in your division on your team. I have been playing well for a few months now but I am simply stuck. Whether it be a legit troll, someone that is elo boosted, smurfs, or outright out skilled opposing teams It seems nothing i can do is ever enough. My team is ranked lower than me or are even unranked( Im silver 1) yet the other team will have a plat 3 golds and maybe one silver. I play well in most of my games granted it is not a complete stomp but It feels awful as I sit here playing doing the absolute most to try and win while my team is either just bad or does not want to win. I think autofill specifically is a huge problem particularly in low elos. Idk im silver trash or whatever u wanna say but if anyone wants to offer some friendly advice im all ears.

That isnt how it works according to an article from Rito. From my experience, Riot isn't lying. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752954-Matchmaking-Guide Prove it or show some examples.

My last 3 games have been similar to this if not the exact same. and its like this every time. My team is just overall worse than they are and they get destroyed and as a jungler i cant do much when literally every game there is a troll, smurf, or booster and my team is losing in all lanes. My team: S4, S3, S3,S1,S1(me) Enemy team: S1, S1(admitted he was boosting as well), G5,G4,G4
