MMR system is trash

I stopped playing on my old account after miraculously waking up one morning and dropping from Gold V 60% W/R all the way down to Bronze III 25% W/R. "ELO hell doesn't exist, you noob!"

Tell me: Why I was able to grind 30 levels on a new account, go 8/2 with one game having an allied DC, get placed Gold V with NO EFFORT and remain there for an indefinite amount of time. Amazed, I went back to the old account and still can not even salvage it out of Silver III. Here are excerpts from my tilted thought process at that time.

> I have played 30~ ranked games in the last week and have won nine. Prior to that, I have been on winning streaks leading up to three series' yet I have lost all but one of those 6-9 series games. > I have since been demoted. 2/3 of my games consist of players being placed on my team who seem to like 0/500/0 KDAs and have no idea how to play at this level. I have carried many of these games as a jg but cannot win by myself. How am I supposed to climb out of this? This is a team game. I can't play by myself.

> Interesting. In the last game I played, my teammates had an average of 42% win rate over the past 20 games while the enemy team had 51%. Is this a consistent trend? If my win rate has tanked to 25% out of nowhere and I have only won a single match out of 6 games tonight, why would the game continually pair me with such teams? It seems to me that** if a team of losers is composed, we will lose** as a team. ^This one has a support ticket. They can look and see that this is a real thing.

> In addition, the only game I've won tonight consisted of a team with higher average rank than the enemy team. In all losing games, the enemy team has had higher average rank. When will I be selected to be matched unfairly to my advantage like everyone else I've faced tonight?

That account is now in the trash and I'm never going back. I can at least maintain Gold V on my new account, right? Even in placements I dominated the plat players with ease! WRONG. 300+ games later, I'm now in the same hell hole. I have an overall average of 48% winrate currently, which wildly fluctuates between 30%-60% over past 20 games at any given time. The image linked below is the assortment of teammates I received my last queue. I dodged on double-defeat 0 LP after one player banned my pre-selected champion and I pulled this information to see if the dodge would be worth the negative LP at this point. What do you know? It's a whole mess of players not even in my ballpark of skill level and equal or greater losing streaks than I'm having! http://imgur.com/gNAQIJl Deja-Vu Is this some kind of sick joke? Is this what is considered fair? Why have I been lumped into a permanent pile of matchmaking garbage consisting solely of people whose only concern is giving everyone else a free ticket to the top of the ladder? This system is pathetic. In the past couple weeks, the amount of following types of people I encounter on my team is insane as proven by my text and image sample, granted I couldn't muster the depressing effort to prove myself further (countless other times). 15-deep feeders, literal drunks, rage-quitters, DCs, children playing ranked on their parents' accounts, /all chat-assist traitors, divers, retaliators, non-communicative, upper-bronze/lower-silver etc. etc. etc. **The other day, a guy actually dove mid in an attempt to prevent an AFK remake. Later that day, I thought Nasus support was a trading player. Nope. first ranked game on his account. troll pick. he stole farm, cursed us out, and left the game. You know how it ended. ** Guess how often this type of behavior is exhibited on the enemy teams I encounter? VIRTUALLY NEVER. Do you want to take a guess at how often I'm able to assist in players being banned for such behavior? FOUR AT MOST... DURING MY ENTIRE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS GAME. I lose 20+ LP per defeat and gain usually 13-17 per victory. With this being the case, even if I'm paired with horrible players, ones who disconnect, or completely troll the game... _even at a rate of 50% occurrence, _ I'm SCREWED. This is before even taking a fair defeat into consideration. The average rank and/or skill of players most often on the enemy team, however, is hand-picked LCS quality for what it's worth. I can accept being bad, which is also a factor to a point, but with the amount of time and money I've invested in this game with hopes of success only to be made feel like a horrible pile of absolute trash due to little fault of my own is sickening.
