Hello,I have a let's say an issues to discuss about.It was discussed before,but I can't believe that the answer is what I'm seeing. I am gold 5 EUNE server,and I am getting constantly match-signed with Summoners that are unranked.Last night I had a row of 4 games with unranked persons,which is by my opinion apsolutely unfair considering that I am playing against gold players. You can't be mad on them,they are just starting,but how is it possible that game even gives you that kind of handicap? Game is already lost before it starts,apsolutely unbalanced and boring to play. It has something to do with MMR,but how are you supposed to get MMR up if you have no chances of winning a game? Please,explain ,I know there is no cure for it,I'm just curious,HOW?

My issue is people prioritizing Kills and forcing team fights over objectives...I have yet to be queued in with a fairly decent team. Maybe only once within the past year have I had a team where the game dragged on for more than an hour due to a very intense match. I know I'm not the best but how is one supposed to increase their MMR and win matches if they get stuck with players who kinda drag them down..? Due to this my MMR (from losses) has been going down...a lot..a constant pattern of lose 3 games win 1, lose 3 more, win 2, lose 1 win 3...what exactly influences the MMR, I know how well you play does and I've gone on winning streaks up to 99LP on to be dragged down by trolls and AFK's.

Like even the opposing team acknowledged that I am a decent / good player. I mean I am in silver though, but I know for a fact that I could move up or should be moving up to higher ELO. Last season I was S3..this season I started in B5 and hauled ass on working my way back up. I would do ranked 5's but most of the "teams" that I end up joining are unreliable and disband within the first 3 days.

I can ask people nicely which I have been I've really held it in today to get the turret. Hey back off, wait for every group mid etc..etc..but there's only so much I can take, cause some people just don't listen. Especially in Silver I'm the only one upgrading my trinkets and warding; even after I ask multiple times in chat "Guys don't forget to upgrade your wards". "Alright upgrade you wards, it's chump change 250g...". "Can you please upgrade your wards....".

I don't understand how people managed to get so high in Solo Queue, I'm sure they've gone through this same sort of issue so is there any higher ranked players who can advise me on how to deal with this? I mean I'm doing everything literally by the book. The book being the posts on the forums from other players which have helped me a whole lot.

Solo queue ,thats it.If you are lower than gold division,I think that upgrading wards is not the best thing to do.CC champs are not the smartest thing to do,get good with a whacking autoattacker or with one combo annie and make it through that divisions
