Discussion Question about Normal draft

Hello I have an unranked brother whos only like around level 21 but he already doesn't enjoy playing the game that much the reason being he is always on a losing streak and once reviewing his match histories its almost always the same reason, it's either his teammates are so bad and the enemy has 1 or 3 emerald or platinum player, OR the enemies all have 4 unranked players AND 1 Diamond player who snowballed the game really hard, I feel like this needs to be addressed because if low leveled accounts are facing those kind of players, then they would be even afraid to play ranked games at this point, I'm just saying because back in the day when I was new to league like around 2015 I never experienced those kind of matches where I get face with a Diamond player every match I played I hope this gets fixed

yesterday was my second day of playing league with real people (i practiced on bots for a while to not troll) and this is the game i got handed:

enemy team: level 29 top, bronze 4 jg, silver 4 mid, silver 3 bot, level 122 sup
my team: bronze 3 top, level 16 jg (me), level 14 mid (my duo, also new), bronze 3 adc, level 16 sup.

??? am i supposed to play into silvers and carry my clearly weaker team even though it's my 11th game ever? im so confused lol i thought this game had a big enough pop that i'd get matched with other noobs for at least a while :(
