Better teams during position ranks. Why force 50/50 win rates?

Although I like normal ranked better then position ranks, there is 100% no doubt in my mind that I was getting fairer games in position ranks. Finally it felt like riots built in mechanic to try to force 50/50 win rates had went away. Suddenly I wasn't having terrible teammates, trolls, afks, ints, ragers and toxic players as often. I was able to climb due to my solo performance (its called solo que for a reason right?).

Then we switched back to old ranked and suddenly i get this insane losing streak were I can hardly win any games.

I look up losing streak and learn about how the old ranked system (the one we reverted back to) will put you on your team with other players elos below you, or other players on losing streaks, or other known toxic players while putting you against better players on the enemy team, in order to make it almost impossible to win, this goes on until you average around 50/50 win/loss ratio.

Riot please get rid of this forcing 50/50 mechanic, there is nothing wrong with just placing players together like normal and like every other game in existence. Loss streaks like this do not exist in any other game I have ever played. This topic has come up a million times by other players. Clearly this is broken. Its no opinion, its not personal tilt, its not just bad luck, its obvious as fuck to any programmer or person with common sense that this system is broken.

Seems to be a bit yo-yo for me right now.

I can win a few, then auto lose a few, then win a few.

Because players who didn't understand how rank worked bitched about position ranked and forced riot to remove it. No one plays all 5 ranks at exactly the same level and the only way around this is position based ranked. It just unfortunately got released along side a lp gain bug and everyone was too stupid to realize what was causing the problems during the first 2 weeks.

What you are seeing now has nothing to do with the ranked system trying to "force" anything. It is simply the fact that matchmaking is far less accurate when it has to use one rank for all 5 positions as opposed to 5 ranks.
