I just had my last game of my silver 2 series , I dont mind losing but than i realised we have a nautilus with fervor of battle who is unranked . This is really unfair as this made the game literally 4v5 as he had no idea how to play . I know losing is part of game but idk whts up with matchmaking ;/

It's usually because of Duos.

In Flex, it's really bad. You get slammed with random ELO players playing in groups since it allows friends to climb together and won't affect their Solo Queue WR/KDA.

In Solo Queue, it's because of that Bronze or Silver player helping a friend (or whatever ELO they're separated by). They're doing more harm than good, as bringing someone from a whole other play scene usually doesn't result in the best playing. especially because then Riot needs to drag around more players from higher or lower calibers to try to even it out.

Some times I get paired with plat 3 people and I'm only gold 4 I don't understand the matchmaking either.

And you spent the whole game berating him instead of trying to help out I assume.
