ranked matchmaking?? someone explain?

SO im curious as to why there are divisions for ranked in apex legends. i started the ranked grind a couple days ago and hit plat pretty fast ( diamond last season).  But every single game in plat im playing against master/predator teams. so as a plat player im playing against the best players in the game. how do they expect ppl to climb?      

originaly i thought the matchmaking was 1 division lower and 1 division higher.    aka   a gold player would be qued against silver-plat.    but apparently i was wrong because im getting put in matches 2-3 divisions higher.    

does anyone have info on how it works?

    I watched this season 4 video that Apex put out there was 5 or so minutes dedicated to the ranked changes and this guy is dribbling for about 5 minutes about what's new with ranked this season.. I play this new season and the ranked system is almost exactly the same, same annoying issues, they just added a new tier between predator/diamond for some reason top 500 predators change and everyone got put into gold including predators/diamonds/plats to start with instead of bronze this season. All them changes made no sense, why are predators in lower ranked tiers, the start of the season was terrible because of this and it didn't even resolve the issue it was setting out to resolve.

    I'm not sure how it works but I have a suggestion to make it fair.

    Getting killed by an Apex Predator while Platinum should remove some of your RP penalty.  In turn, killing an Apex Predator while Platinum should yield more RP than another player of the same rank.

    I feel like it'd remove some of the frustration of being put into stacked lobbies, as well as help with the wait times.

    @BDD_Feranzy its probably because the ranks are still not stabilized, everyone's rank got reset and there maybe very few pred players and they dont have enough perds to match them against each other, maybe this is the reason
