Ranked matchmaking is starting to piss me off

I'm busting my ass trying to climb, and I keep getting screwed over by matchmaking. 4 times now I've climbed a rank, only to lose the next few and get demoted again. Every time I rank up I get stuck with garbage players, afk's, trolls, a few intentional feeders. Its really starting to get ridiculous.

Soon as I get a rank up, I'm lucky to get one decent team. I'll have a good lane and just have to watch teamates dropping like flies, and eventually two or three really fed people just smash on me the rest of the game.

Either im having a really really bad streak of luck, or matchmaking is intentionally giving me crap teams soon as I level.

Maybe less venting and more call giving and advice. People don't usually get defensive when you give negative-free advice.

I do have to admit. It seems far more common than actually having a "good game". My last played had an afk jungle 2 minutes in..luckily for us. We pulled it together as a 4-man and caused the other team to surrender. I know you can do it, man. Chin up, balls down.

Also a duo partner would help :).

Bronze players...blame everything on matchmaking. If its not the matchmaking its Riot's servers and if its not that its Riot's balancing. Never would they consider to look at themselves and find out what they are doing wrong.

Keep it up man.

you know in such situations the best thing you can do is leave your account for a bit and start playing ranked on a smurf, sometimes you do get horrible teams, i fell from silver 1 to silver 4 in one day, I guess that was just my luck but the thing is I climbed my way back up. If you truly deserve to climb you will regardless of how many trolls and feeders you get. And when you play ranked your main objective should not be to win but to be a better player than you were before that game, never blame you team mates no matter how much they feed, and if they do your objective should be to adapt to the situation, The secret to winning is not how you play when your ahead but how you play when your behind, always think about what YOU did wrong that game and what you should've done instead. these little things can change that defeat into a victory. And if your not climbing there is always a reason, your positioning, team fighting, focus, cs'ing , mechanics or even choice of champions. there is always room for improvement . I would advise to play with a duo partner, it helps alot
