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...

To me, it be fair if in pubs, you face players around your skill level, or at least not too far off, such as a plat player being in a lobby with masters. Its not fair if you're a high skilled player and you're put into a lobby with players who are new to the game or don't play a whole lot. As for rank, the differences between everyone's skills should be as close as possible, such as a gold player playing with plat players, and not diamonds and above or silver and below. Then with mixtape, it shouldn't be a pro player in a match with casuals. Mixtape is more of a fun warm-up mode, you can't really do that when you're getting destroyed by high ranked players.

TLDR;
Pubs - Skills varry, but its not a new player vs pro match
Ranked - Skills slightly varry, players more at each other's skill level
Mixtape - Skills varry, however teams are balanced so its not just one sided, (its not fun in games like control and TDM)

@Midnight9746 honestly Twizted3K really has a point here. What's the point in becoming good at a game if people just say its 'pubstomping' and bullying worse players in pubs... the people who are better sunk time and effort into the game to become better, so they should be winning more fights against average players in pubs! Ranked is where players that are working on improving should be tested against players of similar skill levels, pubs should be a random pool of all skill levels, so players have a varied experience each game, rather than every match playing out exactly the same every time.
