It seems that when I'm in a losing streak, I play against way better opponents than when I'm in a winning streak.
Does the LoL matchmaking system take the previous games results into account? Or am I dreaming?
Edit: I've played a lot of other competitive games like Dota or online poker, and experienced losing streaks, but it's generally due to fatigue or bad luck. In League of Legends, it feels like something else.

Riot Games didn't give the algorithm of their matchmaking system but they told their matchmaking system is based on elo/rating/mmr. If the waiting queue is long the teams will still be almost same rating but the players can change. In example:
Team A:
4 diamond
1 bronze
Team B:
5 plat
This case occurs usually in smaller servers but it may happen to you. Also when you're on a losing streak either you play bad yourself everyone else seems playing good or your teammates on their bad day and since the opponent is a bit fed they seem to look playing better.
