How do lose streaks work?

I've posted a few frustrated posts lately about this, but I'm wondering how lose streaks work? Currently about 9 losses deep right now, and I don't know how this is possible. Not just the 9 losses, but how is most of these have been such a shit show? Normally I'll get fairly even teams: Someone on my team loses lane, someone else wins lane, their junglers better, or whatever. But lately its been: My team gives FB, then double kill, 8 mins in everyone else is 0/2 or 0/3 while I'm 0/0 or whatever. I'm not saying I'm the best, I deserve higher rank or whatever, but how is it i've been the best player on each of my games of these losses? Why does my whole team get stomped? I'm not talking normal ranked, I'm talking when I'm on a lose streak and the game decides I get the worst team mates game after game. Probably my last rant post for a while, but really how the fuck does this work?

Tilt is a big part. If you're tilted you may miss opportunities to press advantages or trade objectives.

Playing a lower impact role can also affect it.

The game doesnt decide that tho. It's just your luck. That and you are probably also tilted. Quit playing for a while, take a break and once you feel positive and refreshed then get back to it. The mindset is a large contributing factor

Yeah I have been tilted but even with that I've still done best on my team almost every game (again, for this lose streak, not always or I'd be a lot higher rank). I feel I'm being paired with much worse team mates than usual and the stats show that also. Though I do try to take breaks to get rid of tilt, eat food, take a poop etc. Also the input is appreciated
