Why is the matchmaking so messed up?

Can someone explain to me why the matchmaking is so jacked up? It makes no sense how I get matched with level 20-50 players and the champion has people that are actually their skill level. Kinda mess...

This is the response from the developer:

As a diamond level player it isn't surprising that you would be matched against very high level players. Diamond is nothing to sneeze at even if you only have a few thousand matches total.

As to why you're seeing high level players in bronze - you have to remember that this is still early season and those formerly high level players are currently bronze just like you, working their way up the ladder. This is why it's good for a lot of players to avoid the rank ladders early season until these people rank up and out of the way. It's always like this early on.

@reconzero That is not how it works, they don't care about your rank division when matchmaking. MMR does not follow divisions, if your MMR is in the same region you are matchmade. That is why they removed the ability to see team mates and enemies ranks because they don't correlate with skill anymore and they matchmake like it is the wild west between divisions. ONLY if they can't within a reasonable time limit now how long that is, start picking players in your division but that will not happen for the majority of the people.
