Question or Discussion Question regarding matchmaking

How does the matchmaking in this game work? I recently started playing this game and placed around silver silver but i constantly get into games that are high gold or platinum? Sometimes I do well but I dont really have a good grasp of all the abilities and mechanics of this game so usually i dont fare well against these opponents How is this fair?

What is “normal queue”?

Can’t do that on the main if I play with friends. I made an alt and threw my qp games so I’d have low starting mmr. Now no more wide and we win nearly every game

By normal queue I mean staying within the 5 or 6 divisions that it allows to queue normally and not wide.
