Matchmaker needs to be reworked.
Hello.. I will try to make this as short as possible.
I don't know what has happened, what Riot has done to their matchmaker. But it's algorhythm is complete garbage and I'm about to lose my mind over it. The outcome of my games are extremely one sided. I either get teammates who are decent, solid for being silver elo, players who has the basics down. Or i get teammates that are complete garbage and will feed and lose their lane within 10 minutes, whether I have gotten them kills or not (I play jungler). Players who don't know what to do, or even worse, what NOT to do. Players who will throw the game unintentionally because they just don't know better (or maybe they just dont care?)
I carried myself from silver 3 to silver 1 in a single day, and then proceeded to a losing streak of over 20 games. I had a couple of victories in between (they were damn tough though) and due to this insanely massive losing streak I took a break for well over a month. I HAD to. The losing streak left me feeling nothing but frustrated. Demoralized. It literally crushed me cause no matter what I did there was just no way to win. I dropped from silver 1 back to silver 3.
After the month had passed, I started playing again. However the "curse" wasn't yet entirely over. So i took another fair share of losses, dropped to silver 4 and then it finally stopped. I then AGAIN took a day where I dedicated myself to just playing and again i climbed. To silver 2, and the next day back to silver 1. And now the same thing seems to happen again, where I am suppose to be on a losing streak, where my teammates consists of players whose number of losses surpasses their number of wins by a fair margin etc.
What is this bullcrap, really? Just what did you do to your matchmaker, Riot? I was gold in S4 and S5, nearly plat in S5 (didn't play S6). And getting gold was NEVER this hard! At first when I started winning again, I thought I had just been crazy unlucky. But now I'm not so sure.. My LP gain is now also being clamped. 17 LP gain for a win, 20 LP loss for a loss with a 50% win rate.. Just what the hell did you do to your matchmaker?! And how the heck am I suppose to enjoy this game when things are this way?!
EDIT : UPDATE
Just had my first game of the day, and here is an example of what i am talking about https://ibb.co/hhM2ca
I knew it was gonna be a terrible game where I would have to work my butt off getting us significant kills if its gonna work out. And so i did, i got us several early game kills making successful ganks. But then things started going south fast. The enemy players was simply just better than my teammates... In every lane... As if it wasn't bad enough we didn't have a proper adc. But these are the kind of games I get 75% of the time. How am i suppose to carry this? I'm low plat at best (and that is being optimistic), not some sort of god! And believe me, I've looked up every video, every guide on how to improve myself. And of course team gives me blame, that we had no drakes (i pinged for drake every time but nobody showed up). I was there for most turret take downs, and if my botlane didnt return to base but instead listened to my call we would have gotten turret first blood as well.
Now don't get me wrong. I naturally DO make mistakes. But these teammates of mine that i keep getting, makes even MORE mistakes. Now i don't expect to win every time or anything as that would obviously be lunacy. But THIS shit, it's just NOT fair. NOT fair at all. These are NOT fair matchups.. These are NOT fair games. And they are games compiled by a extremely flawed matchmaker. Whoever made this matchmaker made mistakes. Fire him/them and get someone else to do the job. This game is just not enjoyable like this.
