The elo boosting seems to be out of control with this game.I have played so many people who were either plat or gold last season have ZERO idea how to play the game. I understand everyone has bad games now and then, but its clear as day these people really just don't know what is going on. They walk around and seem confused like a person in bronze or even a what new player would look like. I know the difference between having a bad game and someone who just has no idea what is going on. I would assume if you were plat last season you know the basics of the game, but nope half these plat 5s or even golds don't even know the basics.

You seem to be laboring under the impression that reaching Gold or even Platinum demonstrates a good understanding of the game. The way I see it is, once you've reached Platinum V, you can safely say you've nailed down the basics of the game and have a general BUT NOT SOLID understanding of how this game works: how to CS properly, how to trade in lane, how to NOT get caught (actually, nevermind this one), decent mechanics, and more or less how to close off a game. But you still can't claim to be "good at this game."

Anyway, the point is... if you see someone with a Platinum (much less, Gold) border, don't make the assumption that they're good at this game. They still have a long way to go.

Should be easy for you to win games then.
