Low Elo Ranked is not even a game anymore

It's an experience. Things just happen to you and you have to accept it as reality.. The game is literally decided in champion select based on whether or not your team has more people going 1/10 in the lanes you have no control over.

People on the boards are making it look like climbing in ranked is totally out of their control.

It isn't, we have Challenger players with 60% winrates and then this OP with 49% in silver. Simply stated, ranked is 100% skill based.

There are games that you can't win due to too heavy teammates, but if you play enough games the odds will even out so in the end only your own performance matters.

With enough games I don't mean absurd amounts, like 1000 or more. Even 50-100 are enough to tell if you deserve your elo. The thing is, you don't have those radical 1/10 feeders every second game.

Dude... I get it, but you really need to accept that the only constant in your games is YOU.

My last Taric game I thought I was playing good and was silently raging to myself why my team sucked so bad, when in reality I was missing crucial E's, shielding the wrong targets, and popping my ult at the most telegraphed and worst times.

Look at your own playing. I'm a hard stuck Silver shitter, but even I can get out of Iron and Bronze in a day.

True silver player judging other silver players. Nice post. Maybe stop being stuck in your elo so things won't just happen.
