My Games Don't Reflect My MMR

So I'm Bronze 1 and I was placed against a Gold 1 player in lane. I did not do well at all. I couldn't farm or fight him (he was Yasuo and I was TF, which is already an insanely hard matchup). The G1 player harassed me the entire game, and my team talked shit to me when I was gold starved and had no way of catching up. Why does this keep happening? I get put against mostly Silver players, but being put against a G1 player is extremely frustrating. I feel that this goes against Riot's values because it doesn't allow for effective counterplay when my opponent is so much more experienced than me. This is something that is not okay on any level and I feel that Riot needs to take a look at how the game maker constructs games.

The matchmaking system is easily breakable. I once played a game where two individual players on the opposing team EACH had more won games than our entire team combined (roughly 2k wins to our 1k combined). If that's fair, my name is Betty White.

normals do not have teh same mmr as ranked. The gold player was probably with some friends and did a non ranked game to hang out.

Dude, Gold, Silver, Bronze or more. They have no difference for me. I just check lolnexus to see her runes and masteries. I have same chance to win, so I just try to give my best.
