Ranked is no longer about challenging players, but crippling them and see if I can 1 vs 5 fed champ

Every game I have the highest KP, I deal top 2 damage. Yet I always have people who play far below the match MMR and just cripples me. Every game whatever the role. Used to be fun when we play fair and square to win as a team. Now it is just praying that my team will not feed and actually contributes to the game positively rather than negatively. It is depressing that every game the enemy will get fed off my team, then it is up to me to pull my 500% to fill the void left by my teammate, otherwise it is a 15min snowball. And 500% on my current MMR is almost impossible to do for every role. I only have evelynn that I can consistently perform 500% on, yet she got indirectly nerfed. When I am not on her, it is more depressing because you are helpless against a 10/1 adc that fed off your botlane before you got 6. It is a depressing struggle. It is not challenging me anymore, ranked. It is just purely crippling.

The only sense of encouragement is no longer from the team but from opponents who felt sorry for me having to put up with this. They says GL next time, but I did not play this game to get pity from opponent who felt my team are so easy to farm gold from, it should be a more enjoyable evenly match game.

Shouldn't competitive play be evenly matched? Why is it that every game I have to fill in the void left by someone else's constant failings. It is hard to stay chill and enjoy the game when the matchmaking is constantly crippling me rather than challenging me.

Lol matchmaking is not about fair play. If that would be, there would be far less bronze/silver. Instead it is about pulling you back, which makes you addicted to the game. That results more income to riot. Just ask this question: would you play as much if you would be satisfied with your progress?

Honestly, nothing is fair in this game: teams are uneven, champions are unbalanced, items are unbalanced, red/blue sides are different, and more RNG is added. One misplay is enough to loose a game. To win games you need luck rather than skill.

The strange thing is, if you accept that games are based on luck, your winrate improves. Less tryhard, just play with OP champs buy OP items and do your best. And also take breaks when you simply don't play this game.
