Ranked needs a LOT of work!

I LITERALLY have been trying to get into silver this entire season and every single time i get into bronze 1 i lose like 6 in a row and go back down to bronze 2 or 3. I am really getting sick and tired of being a good player that gets the shaft because of bad match-ups and crappy teams. I get trolls, i get feeders, I get people who are playing a champ for the first time. I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED for being a good player surrounded by idiots. I want to get out of bronze for the FIRST time. I have won tournaments before. I have almost never get more deaths than I do kills. I usually have the lowest deaths on the team and I still get penalized for trying the hardest. I don't even want to play anymore because I am never going anywhere. I have tried many different positions. I have tried top, bot, mid and jungle. If I go top, bot feeds or mid feeds. If I go bot, our top lane feeds. If I go mid, out jungle feeds my lane. I can never get away with it. I win most of my normal games as well, but the SECOND i touch that Ranked Solo Queue, I instantly lose and get terrible teams. I am getting so over never ever being able to rank up. I know that there are many others suffering through the same things, but I am quickly realizing that trying your hardest just results in people calling you a 'try hard' or get mad at you for being smart (by smart I mean, not going into a fight that is obviously not winable and backing off at the appropriate time and my team thinks I don't know what I am doing because they all died and they blame the first person that isn't dead...) If any of this makes sense, please give some advice or share some insights.

I think the problem with B1 is that it's so close to the starting point for new ranked players, so you get plenty of people who simply haven't 'settled' to a more appropriate rank yet. Also you get matched with S5's frequently in B1, many of which just seem to have gotten lucky in their promos.

If you were actually as good as you think you were, you'd carry them. I remember back when we were on the ELO system, the system at Riot got hacked and some pro got set to 0 ELO (literally the worst you can go, and 1100 is silver 5) and he streamed and got a bunch of people to join the games by queueing up when they were also that low because queue times were so long if you were actually that bad and he said "this isn't ELO hell, it's ELO heaven" as he, with ease, carried literally the worst players in the game to rank back up to plat, which was the highest rank at the time.

How about, instead of focusing on your teammates, you try to improve so you dominate so hard you can't lose?

So I'm def not a rito employee... but I'm pretty sure their game code tries to make games "fair". That doesn't mean that its trying to get you where you may potentially belong.

This means that if you are rated highly you will be put with worse players to try and offset the game in such a manner so that it is "fair" for both teams.

Add me in game, I have the same problem as you. I main support.

Another big problem bronze has this late in the season is the smurfs who come to bronze for an ez win because they're tired of losing against equal skill players in their main rank games.

Only way I can help is if I watched your games. Except for on thing. I could probably offer some good advice for what champions to play at lower ranks for each role. Especially ADC.

If you were good you wouldn't be bronze. Honestly. You have to get rid of the "it's not me mentality" because it is you for sure. I find myself saying that sometimes at gold 2 and I know there's so many mistakes I've made in every game that if I cleaned those up I would be higher than I am. You won't climb if you don't think you can improve and you don't think you are part of the problem.

Bronze 1 player says "I play great compared to my peers! i should be higher up, not them! They're obviously dragging me down!"

Plat 2 player says "I made a lot of mistakes that game and picked a pretty shit champ despite my good score, I'll make some improvements."
