Usually when people said gold is the new Elo Hell I laughed at them...

... but after my recent 20 games I'm not exactly sure anymore. A 2/8 jungler and a 0/5 bot (most recent game). A rageing adc who flashed 1vs5 because "fuck you that's why!" (the game before that). And the game before that: a 2/9/0 mid. And the game before a 1/8 mid and top. And the game before... well, I think you're getting it.

Riot, did you by chance mess with the MMR/Matchmaking system recently? Because I am clearly being grouped with people that are by absolutely no means on what I thought was Gold level. And the games I win this mostly applies to the other team as well. Out of 20 matches I only have ONE match that feels truly even and is actual FUN (you know, what a GAME is supposed to be).

Even winning is no fun anymore. You just hope that the unskilled noob who somehow found his way into the game is on the other side and stomp them instead.

Do you know what was the last time when I felt like that? Shortly before I climbed out of Bronze several years ago, and there I was only a little bit away from just quitting the game because not even winning felt fun. I wish i wasn't so addicted to this game, because now that you turned it into a huge dump of horrid balance decisions it feels downright painful to play.
