What is wrong with Ranked?

Im in Silver V and every single game I get into we have a player who makes me question how or what did I did to deserve to be matched up with them. Like honestly trolls, leavers, AFKs, and unexperienced players are 10x more common here than in normals. For example I lost a ranked game because we had a feeding Orianna support who started Doran's Ring and took Ignite and blamed it on auto-fill. I also had a Lee Sin mid going on and that was terrible. In champ select its very common to get complete jerks who ban my selected champion and say nothing at all. Also my team never wants to consider picking at least one tank and love going full AD. These few examples of MANY are negatively effecting my ranked experience. How is even climbing possible with these factors?

Its because new lvl 30 players who have never played rank are placed in Silver V games.

Riot says a new Ranked player has a MMR of 1200 or 1250 what ever it is and so once you get into Silver you suddenly have a bunch of players that really have no business being in the match. Its why you can see a S1 player that literally has ZERO clue what they are doing and are 0/12 top lane because up until they started playing soloQ their Friend who got them to play had been Duoing and was a Jungler baby sitting top lane and was In gold 4 but now they think they can soloQ. Boosting happens, paid or by a friend. Its BAD for the ranked system..... Iv seen Youtubers who are low Silver but (for one reason or another) have High ELO youtube friends that will Duo with them and BOOST them. You see that when the Duo stops they fall in rank.

They JUST killed the climb for 4 other players.

what queue are you playing?

i stopped playing solo soon as i hit gold early in season, so i dont how bad it is past that.

in flex trying to get another gold (now that they announced chroma for extra gold ranks) its nothing but trolls, i have been put with 4 man premades who surrender while we are destroying enemy nexus, or 4 man premade that all quit at 3 minutes. its really bad.

3v3 people just dont know how to play it at all since its the first time u can solo queue for ranked.
