Why riot why

Ok someone explain how the matchup system is logical. Why does it seem that the only way to get out of bronze through actual skill, is to play solo carry champs. Basically consistng of quinn akali yasuo etc. Cause otherwise, like in my case, you can be great at a mage or whatever and have good stats, but the rest of your team feeds so hard that you have no impact. Also could there be requiremets to play ranked or lower league levels because whenever i lose it never feels like i lost because i was outplayed i lost because my team was a bunch of idiots. I ask my supp nautilus to play safe and he decides to 1 v2 the enemy fed jinx and zyra. He doesnt deserve to play ranked. All he does is create a negative experience for the other 4 team mates. Tons of idiots play ranked cause they are cocky idiots who shouldnt be allowed to play ranked. I have no particular problems with dynamic que but could be like when i play ranked as a b II player, could it match me up with other b II players or players my skill level instead of people who have been playing for like 2 months who play ranked cauae they reached 30 really fast and are only just learning how to use spells with quick casting on? With the game in its current state I am afraid that if i get out of bronze, which i never will, it will be soley because of luck not skill

Maybe it's because you aren't as good as you think you are(Not trying to be offensive!!)

When I was in bronze, I used to main Leblanc a lot. I'd often go 20 or 30+ kills and still lose(I can only remember going 30 kills and losing once, but many times 20+ kills). Now that I'm in plat(yeah, it's been a couple years since then) I can see why I still lost. I mean yeah, I got big, I killed a bunch of people, but there were plenty of things I could've done to help win the game that I didn't do. Such as focus objectives(towers) and not be as kill hungry.

I'll actually give you my most recent example. I was playing in bronze(smurfing) and the enemy Olaf went 11/0 at 10 minutes(not kidding). Our bot lost pretty hard(though not that hard) and, well, our jungler and top laner created the VERY scary Olaf. I managed to carry the game. I made some smart roams on the Olaf and good rotations for towers and made good calls, and I communicated. I told the team what needs to be done in order to win.

And by the way? None of this was accomplished through raging. I never once said a word against our top laner/jungler who fed the Olaf quite a bit.

So yes, when I was in bronze, I was LB going 20+ kills every game and still losing. But now looking back, I see that it was still my fault for losing, there were things I could've done better.
