Multiple unwinnable games in a row - how does matchmaking even work?

I don't mean that they are unwinnable as in "oh man my team is feeding they suck elo hell." I mean games where I get put in queues with people that have 25-40% win rates on their champs, sub 2.0 KDA and instalock those champs anyways, forcing me to dodge. I've dodged away at least 100 LP worth of games and have spent more time dodging than playing because ppl think they can get away with 1st time Zed or 25% win rate Yasuo in ranked.

Ever occur to you the possibility before you dodge for the following?

There's a booster on your team playing Zed for the first time on this account - not the actual player The guy has played zed a lot in normals Then enemy team has just as bad win rate If you played the game and focused on your own game play you could carry the game?

the more wins you have the more likely you will lose your next game, the more losses you have the more likely you will win your next game.

If they have 25% winrates when you meet them or basically if they don't have 50% winrates then its actually probably more in your favor unless they are trolling or something or you are bronze V and they are just unable to go any lower.

If you feel you need to dodge, then dodge and dont look back.

You will maybe lose some LP that could have won, but 99% (doesnt matter if you had won or lost) you will spare a tilt that would have costed you the double.
