Can I not play against high elo players?

Almost level 28, just lost a bunch of games in a row. I'm actually keeping my best chill vibes on and I'm thinking why my enemies seem to just always have an upper hand, I've noticed I'm laning against gold to diamond players. Losing interest in teamwork due to enemies always being higher elos than me. Enemies with full runes and masteries, runes that scale and me with just flat runes, not even at 3 quints. Like I have to prioritize runes with my champs cause I only got 2 pages. Expect me to play more to get ip? I can't do that cause my teams and I get demolished? Oh, should I learn to carry? Oh of course I'd just have to get better right?

It's hard to have fun on league right now.

Sorry, Riot isnt matching you with any 'high elo' players. When you play with a challenger/master before level 30 post that. Diamond isnt high elo. :)

But aren´t your allies also high elo then? And doesn't this all just teach you a lot about the game? Even if you do lose, you can see how they rotate, teamfight, pressure objectives and so on. Which is far more helpful than playing against bots.

The fun doesn't come from wins, or stomps. It'comes from improving and making that clutch play that either saved the game/lane or at least was really cool.

Level 20-29 matchmaking has been shit for years now (5+ years). I suggest co-op vs ai or ARAM grinding to get to 30.
