I am currently standing at plat 5 0 LP, I was diamond 5 a week ago.

Is it possible for a player to drop his skill level that fast? I don't know what to do anymore, I have already tried taking a break, i have tried duoQ, I've picked my 70% w/r champs, I never flame, but I keep loosing.

Right now my mmr is so low that I actually play with gold players. I know it's gonna take extremely long to recover from this and I'm desperate for help, I don't feel like im improving in plat games as much as I was in diamond.

Please help me, I need your advice.

It's the preseason?

In a bit, you'd be Plat regardless.

You might want to stop spamming ranked. Your placements next year actually are affected by your pre-season MMR and from the looks of it, your MMR is low Gold

Is this your first account or something? Well basically what's happened to you is that you went over the not-exactly-disclosed "games played threashold". So here's how it works. Prior to a certain number of games played, the game gives you a bit of a boost because it sees your low games played, and assumes you may not be the most experienced player. So it matches you a bit more favorably with better allies. It's one of those "other things" the matchmaker looks at besides just your MMR. Riot doesn't disclose the fact that the matchmaker looks at stuff other than your MMR, but anyway, it does. But once you've played a certain large number of games, the matchmaker begins to figure you might be "high experience" and it begins to expect you to carry a bit more, and gives you slightly more trash allies. There's basically no fixing it, since you can't exactly change how many games you've played on your account. You'll derank down to like silver and be stuck there for the rest of your life, unless you can somehow find a way to become substantially better at the game. Sorry bro.
