The Problem with Matchmaking in Lower elos!!!!

This doesn't concern Plats and above where players are good enough to know how to play the game.
This mainly concerns the lower elos.
The games are so unbalanced that they are just a coin flip, either its a stomp or u get stomped, I only get a few well-played games, 2 out of 20 are proper games.
The problems are players who are bad and playing at their wrong skill level.
The rare trolls in game, saying that he's a smurf and doesn't care if he loses a game.
People who don't take the game seriously- they laugh after a bad game.
Unbalanced teams, I have monkeys while they have gods. people who don't even listen to pings or ward and just blame the jungler.
One player keeps on feeding the better opponents and they just run away with it, 0 decision making skill. All he needed to do was play safe and farm, if cant fight his opponent.
The most irritating one of all, The idiot who calls ff at 15 and says that the game was over and dc's at the Fountain. Doesn't even try.

Proof of others facing the problem:

Please, this needs to be fixed asap, it's been worse this patch where most of my games were so unbalanced, that it's like a joke.

I think riot needs to make a much harsher punishment system for people who give up I see it way to much.

Match making has always been like that in low elo. It's common to have players 50% of the ranked ladder apart in the same game

Just to pipe in...there are still idiots in high elo. I once had a yorick who when clense tp, loaded into game, waited till 2 mins, usesd a summoner spell. said lol in chat then dced so we couldnt remake...

As I've told alot of my lower elo friends. The mechanics get better the higher u climb...but the personalities stay the exact same...Legit i can't tell u how many times people call for ff at 15 when they die 2 times in lane without wards they say 'jungler diff'

It's funny cause all the points you made also apply to plat+

Where the matchmaking is much worse especially since there are more people getting into diamond (double ever other season) and the plat divisions are all super skewed.

Low elo players just don't understand their role in general, most people think of low elo's as those people who think they are gods at the game but are not. This isn't always true because I've come across players before who are good but can not climb due how shit the system is in Gold and below. In the past I have seen this on multiple forums and of such is a massive joke:

If you a good at the game you are able to carry and climb out of that rank

This dot point is what I mean, you don't have to be good to climb especially in this game and I'm not gonna lie this season on my alt account I peaked plat II and I'm happy with that although for someone that has played at that level of play you should expect that I can climb out of silver.... false

The current account im typing this post on is my main and I normally don't like playing ranked on it. I'm a legit hard stuck Gold IV and it was hard enough climbing out of Silver. As a jungle main its hard to influence power over a game where your team runs it down 24/7, basically in low elo if the enemy player gets 2 kills, you lose the game immediately at 25 mins no matter what and of such if one of my laner's loses lane, I lose jg because they gain the lane advantage and the jg pressure for themselves in which I can not contest the enemy even if they are the worst player in the world (probs not true)
