Current Ranked Matchmaking is a Nightmare

Warning: Long Post

I have been hesitant to create a rant post for quite a while, but I finally broke after today. This ranked matchmaking is totally unfair and frustrating. I ended Gold 2 preseason, ending silver in season 2019 because I was playing on another account, and climbed to gold 2 but failed gold 1 promos with my one trick with about an 80% win rate. It was so fun. My teams were mostly even if we lost, I had some sort of thing to improve on. There were games in which I tried to hard carry, but unwinnable games were unwinnable. That's how rng works, and I just moved on. I still enjoyed playing in this elo. I never wanted to go back to silver, but the season 2020 started.

In order to understand my frustration, looking at my op.gg while I rant might be useful. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ifudarefeed

I started in silver 4 and immediately went on a loss streak. I was doing excellent every game, maybe 1 or 2 I did decently. I know how rng works. 20% unwinnable, 20% guarantee win, 20% most likely win, 20% most likely lose. The last 20% is you. Which is what I thought.

Every game was a nightmare. I would try to carry hard, get every objective spam ganks, do everything I can. We always lose. And this isn't some rant post like I can't carry because feeders, I am actually stoned on how bad my rng is.

I would have so many unwinnable games it's crazy. I'm stuck at a 50% win rate. I was excited this season, because I was looking forward to climbing to plat, because I missed just by a margin pre-season. But those wishes are far gone, because I'm stuck in this shiithole. I am a very reasonable person, and I knew I would climb if I was consistent, that is how rng works after all. But I feel as though Riot doesn't put any effort in balancing the teams.

In 100% of the matched I win, I literally haul my teammates to victory or they do decent. I'm never getting carried, not even a single game. This means that for me, 70% of the games are most likely lost, while 30% are winnable. I increase that chance by the maximum of 20%, that leaves me at a 50% winrate.

As I mentioned, I didn't make this post just because of one game. This happened over multiple and multiple of games, and it is very frustrating. I'm always looking to improve. I even thought at one point if I suddenly became silver level over the course of a week.

I would have liked it that way, but Stats Don't Lie.

Kill Pariticpation: 65% compared to 50% in silver. Damage: 541 dmg/min compared to 410 in master Averaging 4.1 kill/assist before 10 minutes, which is insane. In Client Combat Score: S-

Objective: whopping 3,700 dmg to turrets compared to silver - masters players only 1400. Dragonslayer badge, meaning I consistently slay dragons. In Client Map Control Score: S-

Farm: Nothing here, In Client Score S- again.

Overall In Client Champion Score: S-

What am I supposed to do? Get these stats up to S+ or something? I clearly don't belong here as a result of last season finishing gold 2 easily with 80% and my stats. Every game we lose, its always not my fault. I am not being cocky. I will admit if a game is my fault, but it never is. I'm always the one dragging my teammates, and its painful and not fun.

League is supposed to be a team game, not babysitting. I am tired of carrying unwinnable games, and carrying barely winnable games, and never a chance to be the same skill as my team and have a fair match.

Its insane and I never experienced something like this before.

If there is anyone high elo that can give me advice by looking at my opgg, please do. I am desperate at this point and don't know what to do. I really believed consistently playing I will climb, but I'm starting to not trust in rng anymore. I am probably one of the most consistent players.

Here is my op.gg https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ifudarefeed

Any Advice would be appreciated.

P.S You will see lots of trolls in my matches, such as azir going tp smite taking my buff lvl 2 due to another teamate banning his champ, afks, ect. But Riot won't listen anyway so no point in ranting.

I actually talked to a rioter in my game about this. I asked him professionally why the ranked matchmaking is so bad right now, and guess what he answered. "git gud?" "lol". Yes that is what he answered. I am getting sick of this company.

When you stop saying " its my team's fault" and " its not my fault " ... Then you will start climbing.

You play with your teammates only one game , the chance of them being in your next game is super low. If you are focused so mucj on your team mistakes and you ignore yours , you cant climb. You will be in your next game , they wont. So why you are focused on their gameplay , instead of yours?

You wrote too much. All in all, this community is always garb and ranked game is full of "legends".

Only one way out: make yourself dead inside and become one of them :)

Playing on the weekend is no good for reliably climbing, you'll face constant 2 duo opponents so you'll wonder why your top and bot are losing so hard every game

if you go in solo your chances are better but then you're leaving it up to your team to be that good duo or two duos, but if YOU DUO you get 3 randoms that are lower MMR than anyone else in the game including you because supposedly you're so fucking good you can 2v5 just by having basic communication.

Weekends are a joke, it's much easier to get games that aren't a 10 minute win or loss during the week

I'm just going to ignore the text for your info and tell you that it hasn't been season 10 for at least a month and noobs, bad players, trolls, whatever pleases your nametaging can wait longer before jumping into ranked too..

You can't change how your teammates perform so worrying about the performance of your teammates is pointless. If your attention is on anything other than what the best move is for you to make (unless you're shotcalling), you're diminishing your own performance.
