I've never understood the matchmaking system in LoL. If I'm fighting to get into Gold V, why do I have to face players a full division above that? Seems very broken. Please help me understand.

It could be because they were boosted the previous season and they fell down to their natural MMR. That or your MMR is vastly higher than your division and you're underestimating how skilled you are, so climbing is going to involve fighting people that are at your skill level.
