My Problem with League of Legends Matchmaking

Hello everyone.

I have lost now 5 ranked matches in a row tonight. Stuck Bronze 5, 0LP. For the 2nd season in a row. I don't feel like I do particularly bad as my main champions, it's the issue of having to carry all of my salty, in-to-themselves, 3rd Grade vocabulary team mates.

I have spent the better half of an hour searching for one game. Why? Let me tell you;

  1. Player 1 bans a champion no one else picked before they banned. Player 2 gets upset, as he/she was going to play that champion. Dodge.
  2. No communication in champ select.
  3. No communication all game.
  4. Player(s) leaves as soon as the timer for redo is over.
  5. Dodging players in Champ Select.
  6. Dodging players in Champ Select.
  7. DODGING PLAYERS IN CHAMP SELECT.
  8. Salty team mates. Every. God. Damn. Game.

Absolutely zero respect for anyone BUT themselves. They are the GOD (insert Champion here, Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo )

I am finding it increasingly difficult to find enjoyment in League of Legends when I am unable to climb the ranked ladder, know no one that can play League of Legends actively with me, and the amount of salt/tilt and disrespect in games. I can't even get into a normal DRAFT pick without wasting twenty minutes trying to get into a god damn game.

Before I depart, I found an interesting fact.

Did you know that up to 77% of League of Legends Ranked Players are either Bronze or Silver? The highest % of that group is in - get this - BRONZE 5, with Silver 5 being a few hundred people behind. Here's the source: http://imgur.com/a/xTVoW (The information is 3 years old, I couldn't find anything current, but this still feels right.)

If anyone can help me out at all with my issues, I would highly appreciate it. I have been a fan of Riot Games and League of Legends since Beta, and I'd rather not quit due to other players, and the fact that Riot reworks champions that aren't played instead of the beastly over-powered champions that everyone's complaining about.

The information is extremely out dated. Go on OP.GG or LeagueOfGraphs.

You'll find that silver 5 has about 30000 more people than any bronze tier.
