Why is Division rank up so, idk, broken?

Hey guys, first post here, and I'm wondering what is this "cycle"
(I'm Plat3, jsyk)
I noticed this already happened back when I was crossing Silver & Gold, but back then I blamed it on me, or just being unlucky w/playing against smurfs.
Now I'm wondering, does the game do it on purpose to give you "worse" teammates/"stronger" enemies when u're one game away from ranking up to another Division (Plat to Dia)?
Because I'm now stuck in this cycle ( I think it's been like 25 games where i just stay around the tip of plat3, but can't seem to go past it).
I'm managing to keep my RR there because I don't play bad, rarely happens, so maybe I lose 12 and win 21, but when that happens I just lose 2 games and I'm still there (also reason as to why I don't think its skill cap, I believe I currently belong somewhere in Dia)

Tracker here Profile

TL;DR Why am i stuck between Plat & Dia, if the issue (apparently) is not skill cap.?
