Beyond frustrated at this point

So in the last 30 normal games I have played, I have only won 10. Majority of the losses have been in a row over the past few weeks. I am seriously beyond frustrated at this point. I realize that I'm not going to win every game, but when I go on huge losing streaks like this it makes it feel as though the game is unwinnable. I can't really play with friends or people I find on here because a lot of them are level 30 and are ranked and thus when we play, I get matched against ranked players and lose horribly. Playing by myself is frustrating because I still seem to be a lot worse than the players I am playing against and I don't get to joke around with my friends.

To me it just seems like the system in place just punishes people. It makes me not want to play this game anymore. I think I just need to move on and find another game to play.

That's alright, the game isn't for everyone. People that have played thousands of games still get frustrated by those 10% win rate streaks. It's just a part of playing competitively.

That's just it though. I like this game. I do have fun on it. I just lose the fun factor after losing match after match. I go into games "I wonder how bad were going to lose this time" in the back of my mind. That is not something that should go through a players mind and yet it does. I still give it my all each new game, but it's frustrating after a while.

There should be something put in place to help players who have fallen into a losing streak. Some kind of boost that only activates after you've lost a certain amount of games in a row. If you win then it slowly lessens until the win rate is around 50%. If you lose, it increases. I'm not saying this should be for all modes. But something like normals where ranked players apparently "don't care" and theres a lot of people who aren't even max level.

You need to understand that this game requires A LOT of hours devoted into playing. You should not be playing game after game after game without looking back into why you didn't win. Unless there was an AFK or someone trolling, YOU lost the game because of YOU. Communicating with your team is essential to this game and understanding what you did wrong, and what you could have done better, is crucial.

After dying, you should look back and think about why you died. Did I overextend without wards? Did I misplay? What could I have done to live?

I'm definitely not saying I'm perfect. I know I'm not great at this game and there is much to learn. However, I seem to get matched against players of much better skill. I haven't looked at each of those losses to see who I was matched against, but I do know that last night I was matched against a platinum player. What am I supposed to learn from a player that will capitalize on every mistake I make? I can't make a single move without getting destroyed? I guess I could have stayed lane the entire game but I don't think that would help. Plus what exactly would I learn from that?

I'm just saying there needs to be a better way to try and match players against players of their skill level.
