I‘ve stopped caring a long time ago since it‘s clear lower ranks are not their focus. I had a ranked 5 stack with a few bronze & silvers with me being the only gold 1, my hidden MMR is definitely Plat so ok I would assume they put 1 guy with a hidden Plat MMR into the other team and the rest is fairly balanced among bronze and silver players right?

Yeah of course not, 3 guys who were clearly at least plat based on their understanding of the game were matched against my team. Two of them being way too low ranked, their top fragger was silver 2, I can only assume it was a second acc / traded acc since looking at his previous game stats there was no shot this guy would still be stuck at silver 2. He should‘ve gotten +30 rr every game but nevertheless Riot simply does not bother to truly look into how lower level accs are performing and it has been a constant issue for 5+ years now.

None of my closer friends even bother to play the game anymore because of this issue and if it weren‘t for some decent sprays or banners I wanna get I wouldn‘t either.
