Enemy team - lvl 30 plat rankers. My team? Level 12 summoners

Why is this matchmaking so utterly ridiculous? Why do I keep going up against teams with full lvl 30s, including multiple plat and gold-rankers, while I have players on my team that are summoner level 10 and under?

Every other match is the same: Enemy plat-1 rankers picking Lee Sin, Draven, Vayne etc. while my team doesn't even have a SINGLE level 30 summoner, let alone someone with such high ranking.

What gives?

Normals drafts, yes.

Also: Why is it that EVERY SINGLE plat-ranker playing against lowbies picks Lee Sin?

I had a similar experience, we have 2 level 30s (1 silver and 1 gold), i was on a 24 smurf (gold), and we had 2 more smurfs of bronze. Late night in normal blind pink we got faced against 3 ranked diamonds, a ranked plat, and a lvl 13 that played that game at a bronze level.

SURPRISINGLY it was a little close, their trundle(diamond) carried harder then i could.

Since the game has a very hard time understanding how skilled non 30 players are, it can over/under estimated these accounts and in combination with factors like low que pops, loss streaks and win streaks do to dcs, afks, silly mistakes, ect, people who pay to get carried to plat/diamond, and more, people are not who the game thinks they are. Happens quite often, especially late at night.

Because Riot dont care / threw out their design values for the leveling players years ago?
