Ranked System

Is it just me or does riot have a fucked up ranked system? I win 10 in a row, and then I lose 15 in a row, this is not just a coincidence because it happens every single time. It is often said that you should a take a break after a couple losses, but it seems as though everything I do is useless. The ten games that I win are extremely easy, my team and I always dominate the enemy team, but the games where I lose feels as though the players got 20x better. Most people say its psychological and playing with an angry mindset will often result in a loss, although this is true this is not the case here. During my streak of losses I often encounter multiple trolls, afkers, and people who pick the strangest champions for their roles. ie. soraka top, etc etc. There was this one occurrence where I had to dodge 3 games in a row because of these mishaps, and when I finally got into a game it resulted in a loss. When I eventually win a game, breaking this losing streak, I end up in a even more annoying pattern of wins and losses. I win one, I lose one, I win one, and it follows this exact pattern for about 20 games and the cycle starts over again. I'm not saying riot is targeting me because they're obviously not, but does the league ranking system automatically make you lose games after a streak of wins? Or am I just going crazy? Because of this I believe that going on tilt only relates to people in very high rankings like challenger and diamond where each player is basically at the same skill level.

Will be ignored....I did many threads about it... and they all downvoted and removed... They just prevent many players in diamond1+. I'm pretty sure, that any dia1+ player if put him into bronze/silver/gold, he will not able up diamon1 again. Sad, because RIOTs never explain this. And diamond+ players said - Again QQ, Its random and l2p etc=\

I will say that in the past I used to get into these terrible undercurrents of mindsets where I just felt like I couldn't win. That no matter what I did I would lose due to a dumb positioning mistake of mine or just simply being worse than everyone else. I started in the beginning of Season 2 and placed in Silver 3 (almost 2) midway through Season 2. I have a ridiculous amount of Excel documents, notepads, (as in IRL I have college style notepads FILLED with the equivalent of size 6 font in regard to League) and a Facebook group where I not only discuss my findings but am also -ASKED- about things because I know them offhand and can offer an indepth analysis quickly. That's not to brag, but rather to state that no matter how far you climb or how able you are in terms of skill.. you're gonna hit those rough patches. All you can do is say to yourself "It's not impossible for me or my team to destroy their Nexus by systematically blowing through their towers, and no single pick or loss can prevent me from doing so." :)

TL;DR Keep that chin up! :) More wins are on their way.
