Why bother playing ranked when all you are going to give me is people who should be in bronze.

The match making system is getting insanely ridiculous with what it's matching me with. i tried to be patient and say "hey maybe eventually it will match me with people who do not lose their tower by the 10m mark then it with a teemo top who goes 0/6 and then afks by the tower.

Yes i am vernt and yes you can downvote me all you want but this is the first season i ever played where i felt so absolutely hopeless. i feel like i can derp around and pick any champ and it wont matter because the games arent decided by me but if my team survives long enough for me to try and carry.

I love it when I try to climb out of gold and my time before the season ends basically gets wasted because the entire enemy team will literally be diamond.

I mean, that doesn’t happen.

I play on a “dead” server (small population) and even during late night ranked, the game MMR is still within 3 divisions of my tier, max.

A gold player isn’t going against Diamonds unless the Diamond is D5 with the risk of demoting while the gold is playing at Plat 4 MMR.

I just had a game where me a plat 2 was playing with a Gold 2 (not even in their promos) on my team. The enemy team was mostly plat 3 and 4. So yeah idk about that.

Every bot lane between Bronze-Gold will either go 3/15 or 15/3 by the end of the game. There is no in between.

Although MMR isn't perfect, guess what: enemy team has the same problems, statistically. So your job is to carry those game that are carriable. And if you belong in a higher elo with better teammates, like you said, you should be able to. If you can't, congrats you have reached your (current?) skill-cap and your final elo you belong in. If you really wanna improve start look at yourself and not the others. What do you think the Diamond+ player get in their elo? They had the same bronze players like you in their team at some point.

By checking your profile i see that you have pretty decent KDA. You don't feed. But you still have 50% WR in over 400 games with Zoe. You have to realize that this can't be all your teammates faults. So technically (micromanagement) you could be Plat easy. So it have to be something else. Maybe you have to work on your Makro game. Maybe you bait teammates in bad situations where you can survive but they die. Maybe you can't close games cause you are an KDA-Player and prefer fights over objektives. Maybe you should use pings more to guide your team to victory. Maybe you are toxic in chat and lower your team moral? Maybe you give up too early? Ask you this questions. Because technically you seem to be a good player.

because all the diamond players they wanted to put on the enemy team needed some R&R

Its a damage meta. You die once in lane its over. You can be dove, jungler can come to your lane and blow you up. Theres no coming back, your tower can easily be taken after one gank if you don't have tp. I've also noticed ranked games being worst quality i've seen and I think that is why. Temmates are bad but they were never shut out of any comeback from 1 death.
