Is it just me?

Ok, so um i probably sound like that one whiny ass person that looses every game because their really bad but im not. For some reason though ranked feels extremely bad compared to last season. Every queue i get in is filled with players that run around acting like they not know how to play like um what ??? Draft literally is filled with better players than ranked. Last season i got put into silver and i was really glad because all of my games turned out well, but this season im probably gonna be thrown into bronze because these queues are ridiculous. How does one even ??? I know silver is pretty much bronze but at least its not filled with players who a majority don't even know whats going on. Seriously i know i sound like that person that judges but its balanced there, in bronze half of them were put there because their teams didn't even help or their jg's couldn't gank, whilst the other half is there because they are the ones who cant gank as jg or don't help get turrets. Its ridiculous and i cant help but feel like i should just make a new account for ranked because climbing out of bronze is almost impossible if this keeps happening. Does anyone else feel the same or am i really just your local toxic league player that pings constantly when your only teammate alive is standing outside of an inhibitor turret letting the enemy take it. Rito please do something about these queues. [sg-ahri-1]

The way ranked works int his game can be summarized like this:

If you are WAY better than the people in your game, you can literally stomp the entire enemy team and carry yourself to victory.

If you are not way better than everyone, then you will have struggles. Games will feel hard. Your team mates will seem stupid, and everything will feel like it's their fault.

Either way, climbing in both scenarios requires you to DIE less. Dying in League is like playing Basketball, except every time the enemy player dunks on you, he gets taller, faster, and stronger. Imagine a basketball game where the enemy literally got taller because you let him score? So tall that he can just put the ball in the basket without having to jump. The enemy in League gets stronger every time you die. Die less, make more CS, and get objectives.

For example suppose I'm in a Bronze game as a low diamond/high plat player. I can literally just steamroll every enemy player and 1v5. I can do the same vs a Silver team. I can also do it vs a team of Gold players, though it will be harder. It's rare for me to steamroll an enemy team full of Platinum players, and against diamond players I basically don't get that fed and just have to work with my team 100% in order to win. If games are hard to win, you're likely in your correct ELO. Some people call this "hard stuck", a derogatory phrase.

Yeah I don't get why people always expect to infinitely climb without major improvements to their gameplay. At some point I often saw statements that said, if you just keep playing ok you will climb. It's obvious that players get frustrated of not climbing if they think that is true. There's no infinite climb. At some point being stuck means you're ok where you are. It does not mean: if you are ok the way you play you are going to climb to a level where you are not ok with the way you play. Doesn't even make sense in any way to me.
