How do you beat the matchmaker during loss spree

So I made it to Gold 5 climbing from Silver 5 during a win spree (had my big win spree at silver 1) now I’m basically stuck at 0lp as I keep losing tons of games, sure I may win one but then I lose 3 right away. My MMR has tanked considerably so now I only earn 15 lp a win when I used to earn 25lp a win.

I generally play pretty well myself earning an S is pretty common for me I usually get honored near every game as well as I try to keep a positive attitude and my average kda almost all my champions is in the high 3 range so I’m generally never feeding.

Unfortunately lately I get the worst teammates possible. Get tons of AFKs and trolls. And every game someone is going to hard feed for example I see scores like 1/11/2 fairly regularly.

Games aren’t fun at all the snowball is just too real. So when I lose a game it’s not like we gave the enemy team a good battle but got outplayed during the final team fight and ended up losing instead it’s a complete rape from beginning to end with the enemy team bragging in all chat about how shit we all are.

Even winning feels empty as my winning games are total mismatches where it’s a complete rape from beginning to end.

I have a friend in Bronze 5 starting from Silver 3 because he tried to play through a loss spree that is never ending. Looking him up he actually averages double digit KDA with some champions getting KDAs like 16, 25, etc. But his team averages KDAs like 0.2, 0.5. 1.1, etc. So I believe sometimes matchmaker flags your account to put you in the worst games it can.

How do I get out of this situation and start winning again?

Sorry to take away for topic but your title sounded like you were leaking a new champion. The MatchMaker.

But to answer your question, try and focus on your own play and correct your mistakes. For stuff that 5 man groups are allowed, like flex queue or normal draft, try play with 4 other people that you know won’t troll or afk in a serious and competitive environment like ranked.

If you find the answer... you tell me! My main account is my lowest rank this season because of how volatile ranked games are lol. Every game just feels like a dice roll, where you're just along for the ride.

Best way seems to be to duo with someone in the bracket you want to ultimately reach, with you as the party leader. If you play a non-carry role with your partner in a carry role, the MMR distribution will skew in your favor since you aren't allocating your point budget into a noncarry.

IE. play a team fighting tank and just play to not lose lane top with a carry midlaner, or play support with an adc partner. This is effectively what the gold funnel boosting strat does. Since you don't actually need to be good as a midlaner when funneling, the MMR total of both teams will favor you having your carry jungler power farm.

Just accept all of the losses and do what you can to preserve your mmr by carrying and helping your team.

While wins/losses does make you lose / gain lp, it doesn't dictate how much you lose / gain per win/loss
