Why am I constantly getting matched with 40% win rate teammates ?

I have a 70% win rate on my smurf, used to be higher, but I got 0/10 teammates on my team so much, I can't even carry them in silver. Then I started to check their profiles and I consistently saw that they're like 100 games played at a 40-45% win rate. And it happens literally 90% of games I'm in. Just now I q-ed up and checked my whole team, 2 were at 44% win rate and other 2 unranked. Like what the fuck ?

How can I not look at this as the system trying to drag me down or some shit ? Just give me good players so I can leave this elo faster and don't have to smurf anymore.

Simple rule of "hard 50% winrate". If you do too well, matchmaker WILL find a way to forcefully drag you down. That's why winstreaks are followed by massivly unbalanced onesided crappy defeat streaks.

It's bullshit system.

Well if those guys are queuing up someone has to be their fifth. I guess the jank matchmaking thinks giving them a 70% smurf will even things out lol

Game quality sucks even in LOW elo.

I mean my adc last game had a whopping 0% winrate, with that game being her first win. My botlane got shit on, but i helped yi pick up a few early kills. Mid was behind, but not shit on.

I have a p high winrate though. Lux had 40% and everyone else except cait had about a 50%

Whats worse is how i was a tank.

Still won tho

As one of those 40% win rate players (40.32% at last check) we don't particularly want to be matched with you either, because matching with people who are significantly better game after game after game isn't fun, and especially when said players start flaming us, when we might still be figuring out which roles and champs really fit us best. Try looking at it from both sides.

Eh trying to level up an account just to do Mundo Only and i go up against enemy laners literally going 20/0 on broken champs when fed Like Yasuo, Pyke, Caitlyn Even Kled game and its just like when there 0/5 in 4 minutes used Ghost & Teleport died both times their laner already has first item its like huh like 1/5 games i get an actual decent player but the other 3 are just like NAH IM, meanwhile their whole team are just like 20/0 and cause of this i have like a 40% win rate it just doesn't seem to make much sense however i did get 2 S in a row one game i actually but still got an S and ever since i've just been getting those teammates. almost everygame i get first drake at 6 mintues but our team i 0/10 so we lose every other drake but i do get herald at 8 minutes aswell and my laners usually back when i use it.

Try Flex "RANK". And see what it's like to play with team mates from Iron/Bronze vs Diamond/Plat.

And THAT To advanced to Bronze 1. 90% of times FLEX is "pure Bullying".

Here's a screenshot from last game (3 minutes ago / and 30 minutes since my post from above)

As mentioned above... PURE BULLYING!!! Loosing sux and winning can be great "but not like that". It was exactly like being part of a gang of 17 year olds (over 200 pounds each ) and beating a bunch of skinny 13 year olds. Maybe smurfs, or some bullies with very low self esteem (same thing basically - since that's the main reason behind smurfing) enjoy winning this type of games - but i do not.😑

We are giving ratings based on team performance, but unless you can carry every game as an individual regardless of your role, you can't climb. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
