How does ranked match making work?

I am in B5 but I have been playing vs people in silver. How does that work? When I am in silver will I be playing VS people in gold? Do they just try to make it where you can not advance? I am confused about it. I would think you would be playing people either the same rank as you or people one rank higher. Unless you will skip straight to silver from B5.

I am not trying to QQ or anything. I just find it kind of strange. I have been doing just fine. But I do not think I will be doing so good if I ever make it to Gold 5((My goal for s5)) and them I am playing people in Plat.

Works based off of MMR. If you're playing vs Silver in bronze 5, these Silver players probably have a really low MMR,and are actually Bronze players.

Then how do they even get to silver? Because after I started ranked again, I have done well every game I have played. My last 2 where my worst. And they are still not that bad. But I can not seem to advance. I mean, I lost 28lp for dodging a game because someone said "I am going AFK. have fun 4v5!" And I lost over 20lp for the past 2 games I lost. It feels like they try to make it where you can not advance to me.
