No it isn't, you're being pit against higher level players to see if you are ready to move up a league. If you consistently win against, say, Platinum players, then it will try Diamond players, if your win / loss against Diamond is about 50 / 50, you will be promoted to Diamond. Likewise if you don't do well against either then you will stay in Gold. The system works the same way in reverse: If you are doing poorly in Gold, it will pit you against Bronze / Silver to see if you should be demoted.
@OP. Its actually a good thing to vs the higher league players. When I first started, I sucked bad. I was terrible. I actually hated being pitted against diamond players, because they would beat me easily. BUT all that experience made me into a better player. Im rank 21 Diamond league now. So yeah, there is definitely more to learn from vsing good players.
its unfair, im in the gold league but i have to play against platinum always. Anyone in the gold league has that too? omg its so unfair!
