Why does it feel impossible to rank up sometimes and how do you change it?

I got Bronze 1 last season(Season 7) and now i've been grinding all day long, hours straight and got Silver 2. Now the problem is that it feels like im still at bronze, I wonder if Riot even puts similair skilled players in the same match because its horrible sometimes. After being hardstuck at Silver 2 for about a week now, barely gaining LP or even go to promos? I get frustrated and tilted every single game wondering if the time I spent grinding my ass off was worth, I literally think rank is just horrible to play. You queue for a good game where you HOPE people will try their best they dont, I dont know if they are actually trolling or trying to derank others but make the system better its frustrating to play. Every game I see players have golden frames around their Champ picture and when they play they just do stupid stuff. PLEASE do something about the rank system.

if you go on a losing streak 2-3 games then i suggest taking a break from ranking, maybe play a normals game or ARAM just for fun, dont take it too seriously, another suggestion is while in champ select try to start a friendly conversation, Ifind that people can get tilted over the little things but a positive vibe from the get go might prevent that.

This is extremely good advice.

When it comes to ranking up what are you doing to help yourself improve at the game? Are you practicing CS outside of real games? Are you reading up on champion kits that you have a problem with? Grinding out games is how you actually get LP, but what steps are you taking to make sure you belong at each higher rank?

As for the feeling that you can't climb... I'd say it's just a feeling, and can be overcome.
