What is this matchmaking

The plat jg was que'd with teemo and we were all silver/bronze with no one even reaching plat. Normals matchmaking isn't balanced at all. I did fairly well but the fact that the plat had more jg knowledge led to our Jax falling behind and Darius getting camped because of the duo. I know ranked and normal MMR is completely different but still should be something to even it out.

Looks like that Teemo is getting boosted

Edit: Oh wait it was a normal game

That is nothing, League can (and will) throw much crazier matchups on you. Just give it time.

Sometime high-elo players are just duo-Q'd with a lower elo friend. Sadly they know this and often pick some insane hypercarry or lanebully to torture the other team. These are the moments that REALLY stick out to you.

I particularly hate when the MMR is spread to opposite sides of the map, particularly if there's a high elo player toplane vs a lower elo player. Drawing the jungler up there, who can often barely help, you lose early-game pressure bot. Either your bot are gods too or the 2v3 there will take its toll.

Oh and don't try 5-man premades, the matchmaking just implodes for those.
