Ranked is not skill based, its rng. Why cant I roll some dice for lp instead of wasting my time ig

Lets be honest, "1v9" is not really a thing. You can be hella fed, you can crush lane and 1v1 everyone early but all it takes is one person on your team "doing badly". A recent game i played was the 10th game of my promos. I had to blind pick garen, and of course as the top players know, 4 out of 5 of the other team could have been top. I ended up against a malphite. The enemy kayn came top often while our ww perma farmed, not ganking until 17 minutes into the game. I got a kill top lane while malphite still took dmg. I was content chilling top until kayn ganked, used rift, and was able to take my tower early game from 5 plates to 1/2. Thanks rift buffs. I wasn't doing great, but I wasn't doing terrible. I cannot say the same for my mid and bot lane, and jg. They had all heavily lost lane. Were practically permanently out of position, flaming each other while csing terribly. and so I lost. If they had done even equal it would have at LEAST been anything other than an instant lose. Yeah, I could have done better, but NO WAY was i going to be able to fight off an 9/0 red kayn, beefy malphite, 6/2 adc and 4/1 mid.

Lets look at one more example. I was playing kayle into garen. I, of course, was winning lane heavily. I was a tad passive but cs'd well and got tower. I was scaling pretty well. What about my team? Jg was constantly dying bot, giving way to both our adc and supp constantly out of position and getting caught by the enemy jinx. Mid was winning hard but started to gradually fall out of position over and over going in 1v5 and getting blown up. yes, it was a yasuo. I was able to 1v1 nearly everyone, at times win the entire team fight getting triples and qudras in front of our inhib. Yes I made mistakes but by degree's less than the other players on my team. and it is simple, ive played longer, have more experience, grinded the game, put in the work. but that doesn't matter. because in this snowball meta all it takes is ONE, ONE player to not care, to not have grinded, to be new, to not put in the work, to not win lane, to lose the game. ok maybe two. but still, you get my point. This game isn't based on skill, it's based on the skill of your teamates. something you have no control over in ranked duo's. something that you get chat banned for pointing out.

So i have an idea for a ranked feature. Discard all ranked games, and replace it with a virtual slot machine. If you win, you get lp. if you loose, you lose lp. that way you save SO much time waiting for 15 minutes so the 0/11 ashe mid who went afk at 8 minutes can make you lose.

Its complete bs.

(also if you play a ranged support in the top lane i hope you have a terrible day)

Its also really obvious lately that match-making algorithm is trying to force the odds of winning a game at 50%. By balancing both teams correctly?. No its beyond obvious that the algorithm is forcing the 50% winrate chance by flipping every other games mmr difference. One games is favorable to you, while the next wont be. And then when you get to promos the mmr difference will be even greater. Placing mmr defeceit team members on your team and having enemies with higher mmr--meaning that winning your promo game is highly depandant on you. Not your team. You. with the gap in skills being so high between your teamates and the enemies. You cant try to win the game the way its soppose to be(As a team), and are forced to solocarry 1 v 9, bc your soppose to make up for your allies lack of skill.
