Have I had particularly bad luck in my placements????

I'm headed to Bronze 5 and it's 110% my teams fault. Just Kidding.

But I'm wondering if I've had a worse time then other players in their placements because I'm playing ADC and low elo people autofilled into support don't know what to do often, and maybe I've just had sheer bad luck.

People have consistently told me that I'm mid bronze or low silver, but I might end up in low bronze with current predictions.

I lost two games because it was the start of the season and all the smurphs were on the enemy team; it was a total clown fiesta. Then I just played badly in one game and threw. My team and I got outskilled in another game. That was 4 of them (they weren't in that order). I also lost a game because someone straight up permanently disconnected at about 8 mins. At about 3 other games I had terrible supports who didn't know how to support or play their champs, while the enemy support was much better so I lost by about 2 kills or went even, and then the game was lost due to a variety of factors. In another game I had a team that went even in lane with the enemy more or less, I won lane in that game, but then my team refused to group no matter what anyone said, and the enemy team won because of that. In the next game I got a good support and won lane hard, but lost the game because the enemy was super fed and I couldn't carry hard enough. In this last game I just played my support did not feed, but was bad while the enemy adc had a support main on their side. My support was Bard, and he literally did not ult once in 20 minutes; he later only ulted once which ended up saving the fed enemy carry. I did not flame, but my team sure expressed their displeasure.

Is this usual for low mmr? Have I had it remarkably worse because I'm playing a dual lane? Or is this average and I simply didn't carry hard enough so I'm getting a rank that matches my skill fairly well?

Ranked is a clownfest this year, between autofill, mmr reset, broken matchmaking, broken mechanics and lolmeta (ziggs bot!). Skill is meaningless unless you are a dozen or two divisions above the people you are playing with.

Your LP will just randomly go up and down based on what smurfs/feeders/trolls/fresh lv30s/reset diamond 3s/ect you encounter, expect to play promos for the same rank about 15 times (or just once, RNG) before you reach the next rank and go through it all over again.

...please tell me you're exaggerating a bit?

Only very slightly.

I did not mention the botlane duo that picks malz and garen, pretends to be korean smurfs, and intentionally feeds 0/7 and 0/8 by 12 minutes. (This was in denial of them both being placed in bronze V after buying a boost to gold, guessing from their ranked stats).

WOW! and least I didn't have anyone go full on troll on my team so far.

If I can que with my friend as a support who is a Silver 4 Lux main, will I atleast be able to reach promos quickly and frequently? Is that usually difficult? is it even possible right now with this clown fiesta?

And I don't mind autofill for casual games, but man, its horrible for ADCs in ranked.
