Ranking system

So i have been playing league on and off for at least 5 years now and honestly thinking of never playing ranked again. I just finished my provisions and got bronze 5 again based on 4 to 6 losses, even though in the 6 losses I finished with a A rank or higher. So this rank system is defined purely on wins and losses nothing else, so if your team feeds or doesn't group up to push objectives you are punished. I honestly don't know how one single person can carry four terrible people no matter how good you are. So riot you need to re-look at your system because it blows, I understand its a team game and all, but why i do i get punished for doing the correct thing like getting a kda of 19/9/5 and knocking 3 towers down with 3 dragon kills in a game with people that cannot even comprehend the very basics. It shouldn't take the skill of a master to get out of bronze because most of your team are trolls or people who aren't even use to playing a champion or specific lane.

Here's my story:

I was bronze IV, and was on a pretty decent upward rise, when the prelims started. So I go on to win 7/10 games, thinking-- hey. . .maybe not silver, but that's a pretty respectable result.

NOPE.

Bronze V, 0 points, lower than before. It totally took the wind out of my sails. All those 10 games of excitement and drama, and a good feeling about the results, and Riot says, "Nah. . . we don't care HOW you did, we know WHO you are. . . back to the dungeons for you, pleb."

And of my 7 wins, I carried at least 2 or 3, and had no weak games among them. Even in 1 of my losses, I had a great game going, and we lost to a late-game backdoor.

Nope. None of that matters. Riot has decided where I belong, and that's that. It's like they don't WANT me to keep playing. I'm so poorly rewarded for successes, and so cruelly punished for losses, that no matter how hard I try, I will be stuck with the flamers and the AFKers forever.

Not feeling good about this game right now. Maybe it's back to online chess for me. :(

Bronze will be bronze mate. Either learn to play better or get comfortable in bronze.

If you were silver/bronze in S5, it doesn't matter if you go 10/10 with 0 deaths with S scores, you'll still be Bronze. There's a bunch of posts just like this sad story you have here. You're not unique and you are not different. Everyone is getting a hard reset pretty much.

Ya I got bronze 2 in my promos and I was silver 3 last season. I won 7 out of the ten matches, so I really don't understand it. I mean I guess the only reason was that I played support, but I did fairly well when I did.

similar situation happened to me i won 6/10 of mine and got put in bronze 2 i ended last season in silver 3 so i dont think my rank should be that low... it may be a bug that has to do with how ranked was previously this week? When you were able to make a 5 man squad.. but idk. This is really messed up though, it has been happening to everyone i play with as well. Even people that were previously in gold+ last season. RITO PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM
