Last game I played my whole team was below a 50% winrate. Chance or select picked to lose?

This is my current match. 1 silver 2 bronzes and 1 unranked. Select picked to lose. And no the enemy team will not have bronzes or silver they will be all gold.

You're right. Out of millions of players Riot has singled YOU out to lose. Not at all random chance. You're just THAT special. Congratulations.

Realistically its more likely match quality is shit because its a High uncertainty game cuz of the 3 accounts with low # games.

It should not be surprising to see weird WR distribution in RNG.
It would be shitty if Riot tried to build games around WR. 3--7 and 4-8 are not great records. Adjusted that's -3 and -4 You however are 79-86 which is -7. The # of games needed to get you to 50% is enough to give those bronze players positive WR because of the low sample size of games.

Dodging will not help because every single queue looks like this.

Does it really make a difference if it is? I mean, if you want to climb, there is no set limit to improvement, you're just trying to be indefinitely better, so eventually if your natural talent combined with your efforts are sufficient, you'll pass through the skill wall, regardless of how artificial this wall is. We know a thing for sure: what keeps you at your current level isn't having a grasp on players noticeably stronger who would play at your level. So, logically, if you're noticeably stronger, you'll go upward.

Don't fall in the trap of thinking "you deserve better". That's just making you think you can stop working for a better rank and that's the best way to stagnate, or worse, inadvertently lose a bit of skill and blame it to circumstances instead of focusing on how to overcome these issues.
