I am level 28 and many of my games are against plat/gold players

I am coming back to the game after a couple years off and made a new account. I am lvl 28 currently and every game I play has gold and platinum players in it, sometimes diamond. The highest I ever reached on my old account was like 1300 elo.. Why am I getting placed into such stomps while leveling? Just curious.

From looking at your match history it seems like the higher elo players were (most likely) playing with friends who were just starting and riot also takes into consideration of what your teammates were ranked the seasons before. A lot of your teammates where gold the season before or the season before that (S5). (you keep playing with a friend that is gold in flex so it might effect who you're getting matched up against)

Thing is the season just started up, so... its just now calming down from matchmaking hell. Fist week it would match bronze V with Gold 1 players. Guess who got shit on there. Trust me your not the only player that was outraged about this. The higher players don't want bronze in a gold or higher games no more than the bronze wants to be there.
