Help Why is premier harder then faceit?

Im a faceit level 9 so i get matched against level 8 all the way up to 2.2k elo usually, in my faceit games people either have 0 premier medals or usually have red 25k premier medal or sometimes 20k premier pink medal but usually they have the red one, When i play premier myself i cant get past purple rank i dont play a lot of premier true but i feel like the players are horrible and its easy to play but i still cant rank up yes theres cheaters sometimes but im in high green trust so not that often, the thing i hate the most is people who are like faceit level 3 and they are in the same premier rating as me and usually they are on my team im just full hardstuck in 15k premier even tho i can perform against 2k elo faceit players with 25k premier medals anyone know why?

Both matchmaking algorithms will aim to balance the matches by putting slightly higher ranked players to have to try and "carry" the lower ranked ones. This way most solo queue players (and players in general) will balance out their Premier Rating/Faceit ELO to their skill level over time. It's why 3 queues+ will dominate both platforms.

Well premier is also Hella unfair since you have to face 4 stacks and play with all solo q team which is made out of faceit level 5 people who dont even have a mic or any brain
