Am I being punished or something?

Because, honestly, I don't know why 90% of the people I get matched with are even in ranked. There is no role I can play to ensure I win, no champ I can play to ensure I win, nothing. Because, even if I'm 3/0, this other guy is 0/7 and their lane opponent is just unstoppable. If it was once in a while, I'd just chalk it up to bad players or bad games, but this is literally every fucking game.

I've had over 3000 (close to 4000) games in silver now, and:

  • I've maintained a 4:1 average KDA that gets up to 6 depending on what role I play.

  • I always win lane, or roam and help other lanes win if I can't.

  • I build according to what's going on, and what my team needs.

  • I pick to fill a role my team needs.

  • I ward all throughout the game.

  • I contest / steal objectives or take them outright if possible.

  • I know how every champ works, and how to counter them (Tahm support makes Zed irrelevant, for example).

  • ...

I do everything well -- but, it just doesn't matter. So what the fuck is the deal? Literally every team I go against just stomps my team, even if I'm doing great (I've lost a game as Eve where I was 27/1 and had pushed all three lanes by myself, and a game as Tali where I was 12/3 and made Veigar irrelevant, so on), to the point that I literally can't fight them. They say you climb based on how you do individually, but that's a load of bullshit.

So, what is the deal? Is my MMR just really low or something (last I checked, I had a low gold MMR)? Am I being punished by Riot for hating their CEO and his greed? I just don't get it.

I feel you every step of the way to the point where sometimes, league is frustrating as hell. And all I can say is, it happens to everyone, so if it happens to you , it happens to them, though it may not feel that way. Yes, league is outright absurd to the point where tribunal doesn't feel like it isn't doing much to balance out the toxicity and ruining games. BUt like you said, people are just outright unskilled and it leads to the point of why people and how people even got there in the first place. Just a suggestion, playing duo Q is much, much, much better than solo q because in my opinion, two really goodplayer and 3 bad players have a 40% chance of winning and 2 duo Q moderate players and 3 bad players have a 50%. This is because you know your teammates abilities and potential. And in any 2v2 or 2v3 situation, you can out play and win with the right communication.

I'm in the same boat.

Your win rate with Blitzcrank and Graves are above half, showing some positive influence over game outcome.

Your Blitzcrank KDA: 3.6 / 4.5 / 11.5 (56% win on 93 Played) Average Blitzcrank: 2.41 / 5.76 / 13.18 So you've been doing better on kills and deaths, but could improve slightly on assist participation.

Your Graves KDA: 7.6 / 4.1 / 6.4 (54% win on 48 Played) Average Graves: 6.32 / 5.17 / 7.9 Again, your kill and death performance are superior to the average, but assists are below average.

Suggestion: Participate in more team fights, not to secure kills but to apply damage for assist credit.
