Always pairing with good opponents and bad teammates

I don't get it, why am I always paired up with good opponents and bad teammates, I know I am bad, but I should always be paired up with teammates and opponents who are having same skills as I do, so can I get an explanation on why this is going on. I'm tired of losing many games in a row, and getting some troll team.

Its true that sometimes you get really unlucky streaks with team mates. This is why rank isn't accurate after just a few games, it can take easily 200-300 games at times to get to your true rank. Eventually it balances out but yea, it does suck ass when you get on a streak of games where your team mates are clearly not as good as the enemy. I'm playing in High Plat / Low Diamond and I think I'm on like game 12 in a row where my team got first blooded, without the enemy jungler intervening, by the 2-3 minute mark and at least 5 or 6 games where my team was 0-6 before getting the first kill. It sucks, but eventually it balances out.

It's something weird with how matchmaking works. If you win 3 games in a row it seems to trigger some algorithm where it wants to see if you can carry a badly outmatched team and then each time you can't there's some kind of logic bomb along the lines of "well, you couldn't win with that team, I guess that means we need to give you an even worse team next time".
