Is that no matter how hard you shut down someone, they can be 0/5 and still be able to do tons of damage. Winning lane doesnt matter anymore, its basically just about your team having good focus and team fights. No more players who are actually good at the game that can solo carry into the elo they belong in, its mainly luck of the team.
The biggest problem is that Promotions are designed to give the player in a promotion series a far inferior team to the team they are opposing.
When you're Silver I going for Gold V, The game is going to give you Silver V - IV, while the other team gets various Golds. Not only that, your team will be low win % Silvers, while their team will be High win rate Golds.
These kind of matchups result in most of the toxicity our community sees.
Occasionally go look up that 0/5 you "shut down" and you'll find most of them are much higher rank than you, better win rates, and just suffer from a poor early game.
This is just a lie. If someone manages to lose lane and go 0/5 they are literally done for at least the next 20 minutes of the game or they are completely done for depending on how the champion scales as the game goes on. Of course you'll get punished if the enemy team coordinates better, hello? And don't come to me with that bullshit that you can't solo carry a game in silver elo. If you actually were a good player you would be able to solo carry games there.
Also, let me tell you a secret. You don't need to be the hero to carry every game. You'll lose more games when you're focused on your team more than on yourself. There's always something you could've done differently to ensure that you don't lose. This mainly means that you CAN solo carry a game if you play it perfectly.
