When and why do you get streaks of feeders?

I am really interested in this. My last four Soloq games i got some unusually bad players in my team. Needless to say i have lost all of those games. All of those games my toplaner gave up first blood and that was followed with our botlane dying. All of these four games started like this. In 3 of these games my toplaner has intentionally fed some kills as well because of how tilted they were in the constant flamewar in the chat. No matter how hard i tried, how many kills i got, how much i tried to push there was just no way of winning these games.

I highly doubt that this is bad luck. Especially since this has happened to me before as well. 5-6 games of complete trash teammates that flame eachother / feed their ass off. Why does this occur to me?

I shit you not, it's RIOT's way of keeping Bronze/Silver players in lower elo. They set you up with players with winning streaks/good KDA, etc for 3-4 games, then give you shitter teammates that have no damn clue what they're doing for 4-5 games.

Having a good KDA DOES NOT MEAN you played well. Get this out of your head.

You consistently have < 50% kill participation (often close or lower than 40%).

As the mid laner... AKA you probably leave your team mates out to dry by either

Not applying enough pressure to side lanes or helping Jungle with invades to farm instead.
Not committing to any fights because you're scared to die. (Positioning too passively to actually damage high value targets, or saving cooldowns letting people get away because you'd rather use them defensively )

Sure, you might've gotten bad team mates, and maybe your playstyle will work well in the future. But if you CONSISTENTLY lose while having good KDAs and farm, then you're part of the problem.
