Is it just me or have people gotten way worse?

I've been trying to top lately, just to learn and feel other lanes at Plat 3, but everybody is so bad. I'll have games I stomp as jungle, and win and carry and get every single objective and deny the enemy jungler all of their camps. Then I'll have other games where one of my laners dies at 3 minutes, dies another at 3:30, dies another at 4, 430, 5, 530, 6, etc.

It feels like the games are so polar, you either get OK teams and you can carry them easily, or you get just dogshit braindead 0/10 players. What's up with this? (I'm excluding the games where I don't do so hot, but don't feed my ass off, or every 1/12-13 games)

It's extremely hard to climb in this elo unless duoing, where I can just sit and camp 1 person and know 100% they're competent. It's sad, really...Anyone else experiencing this?

It's less that people are generally worse and more that people are less encouraged to get better, as the game is obviously imbalanced right now.

But why are games so polar? Some games with carryable teams and some with absolutely not. You absolutely CANNOT 1v9 without afk splitting, which I hate doing. They're making it more of a team game, with less individual skill to carry 1v9.

I recently made a post about how marksmen snowballing with their free ranged damage breaks the game and that all of them having fewer offensive stats - not just Kog and Vayne - would make the game much more balanced, and I stand by that.

I don't think it's the AD's that cause the matchmaking. I think ranked system needs a rework, kind of like the CS:GO rank rework. There shouldn't be mechanically silver players or bronze players in plat, and there is.
