Is there a weird hidden algorithm in Matchmaking to punish players for bad behaviour?

Hi. At first: English is not my native language, so I apologize for bad grammar.

I ask myself if there is a hidden algorithm who mix you with bad players to punish you for bad behavior. I tell you why i think about that. I am Voli otp Plat 2 on Main-Acc. At the moment i am climbing on my Smurf Account mid Gold. I had 60%+ winrate. I even skip devisions. Then i got 10 games chat restriction.

> Game 1 > BigFBear: you should have wait his F =/ > BigFBear: fucking wait me > BigFBear: jesus > BigFBear: this bot is a joke > BigFBear: CAN YOU GUYS WAIT UNTIL IM ON LANE??? > BigFBear: yeah blame me now > BigFBear: this Elo > BigFBear: u guys dont know that u have to wait until im there > BigFBear: ofc > BigFBear: ofc she is 4 > BigFBear: because i have laners where i waste my time with ganks > BigFBear: i will only farm now > BigFBear: have fun > BigFBear: one more time and i am afk > BigFBear: can you report Jax for toxic? > BigFBear: constantly blaming and pinging me > BigFBear: wp > BigFBear: Zil Ult > BigFBear: dont go to jax he will blame u > BigFBear: 0 wards top > BigFBear: xD > BigFBear: wondering that he get ganks > BigFBear: why do YOU want? > BigFBear: i dont gank people who flame me > BigFBear: that happens when laners dont now how to prepare a gank > BigFBear: or cant wait > BigFBear: i will not gank u Jax > BigFBear: Pull drake out > BigFBear: gone > BigFBear: drake is gone > BigFBear: ty Jax for giving them Drake > BigFBear: JAXXX > BigFBear: just wait until buff gone > BigFBear: its just an air drake > BigFBear: i can flash on Trist > BigFBear: dont give them 3 inhib > BigFBear: if they get baron we will lose > BigFBear: Zil Ult > BigFBear: vayne we could have killed 3 towers together > BigFBear: 2:11 Jax > BigFBear: but flaming me

> Game 2 > BigFBear: op move > BigFBear: sry > BigFBear: Aatrox no passive > BigFBear: wp > BigFBear: stfu pls > BigFBear: i cant be on every lane u know? > BigFBear: stop tilting me > BigFBear: brand mid np > BigFBear: mb > BigFBear: wp bois > BigFBear: do we REALLY need TWO splitpush lanes??? > BigFBear: just go B > BigFBear: LUCIAN > BigFBear: WTF??? > BigFBear: STOP!!!!! > BigFBear: Lucian wtf > BigFBear: for WHAT?!?!?! > BigFBear: u did nothing down there > BigFBear: always solo tards > BigFBear: wp > BigFBear: better go Splitpushing and dont even kill towers > BigFBear: i will just farm now > BigFBear: have fun > BigFBear: its over > BigFBear: ill farm now > BigFBear: now u can splitpush as much as u want > BigFBear: go SPLITPUSH > BigFBear: do it > BigFBear: yeah > BigFBear: like that > BigFBear: he did it all the time and die > BigFBear: No its np Yi > BigFBear: go splitpushing > BigFBear: its ok > BigFBear: u can die against WW again > BigFBear: 3 inhibs down > BigFBear: i try to catch YI > BigFBear: because i wanna FF? xD

Yes i know i shouldnt write in chat, i admit thats my bad, but its so frustrating to get flamed and blamed from super bad laners who are constantly pushing without wards and then blame you if they lose their lane. I know you read this now and think "uhh what a d*ck he is constantly whine in chat" but you only see what i wrote. You cant see how they start flaming me for no reason. Mostly i try to be calm but in both games one laner hardcore flames me. Mostly the players who feed and troll the most. For example that Jax in Game 1 was 2:11 (32% killparticipation) and me 1:3:20 (68% killparticipation). And after the 3rd game you lost because of someone like that you get so frustrated that you start to flame back in 4th match. I will try to ignore chat at all now.

So, to my startquestion: As soon i got restricted THIS happens:

http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=bigfbear

I lost 9(!!) games in a row! And no matter how hard i try i got mixed with super hardcore trolls who just run down their lane. Just one example. My last Match:

https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/match/euw/3606541819#participant7 They were pushing so hard that enemy jungler could gank ez. Ofc they wrote "better jungler win"

And this happened to me on my mainaccount to. Rarely but it happens. I had normal winrate some wins some loses. But then, OUT OF NOTHING i only got super bad players and i lost 10 games in a row. And its not that i tilt or something. You can almost FEEL how they system mix you with trolls. No matter how hard you try you CANT win these games!! And then after that lose streak all is normal again and i climb 3 devisions in a row.... this CANT be coincidence!

That brought me to this question if there is an algorithm that gives you a hard time as punishment for flaming? Or is it just a conspiracy theory?

No there is no prisoner's island. Riot has made it explicitly clear that they don't think that is an effective way to deal with toxicity.

No. There's no reason to assume there is and Riot has publicly stated that they are against such systems and refuse to listen to requests to implement them.

EDIT: Also, to address the loss streak section. Win streaks and Loss streaks will always appear in samples, even with an even 50% rate. It's important to keep this in mind and not allow human bias to create a narrative on top of that.

No there is not. Dont spread misinformation, you're only going to cause more suffering.

No but I can tell you that muting anyone flaming you is the best thing you can do cause as soon as you two start going back and forth the whole team suffers for it
