Why is ranked so broken?

TheRoflWaffle3··1 votes·601 views

I thought this season the dynamic queue and the new champ select were going to make for an interesting ranked season. Boy was I wrong. I got placed into s3 (which isn't bad but I know I'm gold caliber). I start to climb fairly well until I get to silver 2. I start getting matched with morons, feeders, and toxic people in my games, in 36 hours I'm down to s4 even though I did well considering the circumstances. After over a week I got back to s2 and got into s1 after some time after that. Then the exact same thing happened and got into s3. The exact same scenario. So I finally get back to s1 recently and just got back down to s2. I've gotten demoted around 6 times so far this season. I know I do well (I'd say gold caliber). I play in positions I'm comfortable carrying with, and yet this crap happens. I have asked riot to tell me why they keep sending me into the mmr spiral, but they give me vague and frankly, not genuine answers. I was wondering if any of you have had this trouble and explain to me why I keep getting punished for things that aren't even my fault? I hope I'm not alone. Sorry for the long post, but I think you guys deserve context as to my utter frustration.

Well, what is broken CAN be reforged.

Or restored. Or reformed. IDK.

Because the dynamic Q is messed up. The only way you can climb in a consistent way is to get in a premade.

Going solo means you have to play so many more games to overcome the crap being thrown at you due to dynamic Q.

That makes sense, well at least I know it isnt me, but riot, even though when I question it, they pawn it off on other things that aren't them. Making it my fault

And another thing is, the queue times are long, which makes losing even more of a time waster and frustrating. Why does Riot not do anything about this? They are a bunch of morons when it comes to this

My queue time tends to be less than a minute. Sometimes 5 seconds?

I even give not contested roles (other than adc) and my times are around 5 to ten minutes
