Getting around the inevitable losing streak after winning?

Is there anyway to get around the inevitable losing streak you will have after winning like 3 ranked games. Its pretty obvious that it happens very consistently. I even tried not playing ranked for a few days after winning 3 games, but as soon as i come back, boom, 3 straight loses where my adc feeds quite a bit and the enemy team steamrolls. No matter how well i play in these types of games it truly feels like a loss is guaranteed. And this season its happening so much more. Is there anything to do about this or am i just suppose to expect to have to take 2 steps back every time i take 1 step forward

its an impossibility, everyone fron bronze 5 to rank 1 challenger has losing streaks and winning streaks. its just how the system works. it happens most when you are at your elo bracket tho in order to keep you at 50% and not allow you to climb regardless of how well you yourself played. its a shitty system

Try to keep winning anyway, you're going to lose games from time to time anyway. This is no different, except you're blaming the system.

im aware that everyone will lose from time to time, or even go on losing streaks (otherwise everyone would have a near 100% win rate). However lately (specifcally this season) it seems that after you win a couple games you are guaranteed to go on a losing streak. There seems to be a very clear pattern that me and many other people are noticing. Thats what im referring to

Believe me, that's not exclusive to this system. You notice losing streaks a lot more after going on a winning streak.

Gonna be honest here, dude, it looks like you just hopped on a bandwagon here.

Looking at your match history last summer, the difference isn't all that staggering. The best advice I could give you is to cut that line of thinking, as externalizing the reasons for losestreaks is going to negatively affect the psychological aspect of your gameplay--the less you feel in control, the less likely you'll find the agency to win. You're going to go on lose streaks occasionally; you'll win a lot more if you take personal responsibility rather than try to blame the system for it. Sure, you've lost a bit this month in particular, but don't let it get you down dude. Chin up and kick some ass in the fields of justice, alright?
