This only happens at Norms, NOT Rankeds. Okay so. The problem is, that a few days ago, i started being matched with Bronze and Silver (Max S5) players. Before, i used to play with Gold and sometimes Platinum players. I haven't been in a lose streak, and, actually i haven't been playing duos for almost 2 weeks. I read somewhere that, if you got placed with a lower elo that the one you have, it's because you are losing a lot of matches but this is not the case. The problem begins, when im being placed with this elo, they start flaming, being toxic, and well, basically, being "Bronze". (No offense to anyone, lol.) And of course i start losing my games because of that. I mean, this is a team game after all, and, there's some trolls and toxic players that really can't do much to win, even if you are super fed with a super broken champ. Anyways, what's going on, why is this happening to me and, when its going to end, lol. It's been 4 days in a row that i'm being placed with low elo players, it's getting annoying.

I'm going to add a link with my MRR (Even tho i know it's not accurate, and even it says i've been playing too many duos games, like i said, not anymore, at least for the past 2 / 3 weeks.)

I wish I had such games. I am Bronze and I get matched with bronze. But the problem is that I face people who dodge hooks (which is ok, I learn more, but it is weird), clear my pinks, place their pinks, upgrade trinkets, in a nutshell it is like fucking LCS game highlight when I see 4 of them sweeping my wards in jungle, then some proceed to lane and make perfect gankbang dive. Like wtf...? Is this bronze or what?

Normal matchmaking has separate MMR from Ranked; you can't tell what their MMR is in Normals from their Ranked MMR. Typically it'd be lower, but it's possible to be (for example) Bronze Ranked but your MMR in Normals is Challenger simply because you don't play much Ranked. Don't pay attention to their rank, just focus on having fun and improving.
