I thought ranked was supposed to out of any other game type put you with players of the same skill level, this is a lie. I started silver 3 in ranked and since them I've gone down to silver 5 because of my team. There has been a couple games like 2 games ago I was Nash's countered by jax and was my fault, but I have been in COUNTLESS ranked games where I get a team where ALL of them feed and do nothing the entire game and this has made me go down in rank drastically. I, honestly going to quit playing, I just got suspended for leaving, but I don't care, I'd rather leave and not waste 20 minutes of my life just so we ca surrender because RIOT has aweful matchmaking .

Hate to break this to you, but it looks like you're contributing largely to why your games are going so bad. Just a quick glance at your stats shows a 0.8 avg KDA in ranked with almost 9 deaths per ranked game (and you have a lot of games where you go double digits in deaths).

You also don't have a single game in your last 20 matches where you broke 150 CS as top/mid/adc, regardless of match length. In addition, you neglect to even buy tier 1 boots in many games. If all of that wasn't enough of a problem, you don't even have ONE SINGLE COMPLETE RUNE PAGE, which IMO should prevent you from even queuing for ranked.

You need to practice more (not in ranked) and work on dying a LOT less per game (shoot for 4-5 deaths MAX). You need to save your IP and purchase runes (at a very minimum, a page for AD and another for AP with armor/MR on both).

The system may have placed you in Silver III, but you likely belong somewhere in Bronze. By continuing to play games in an elo you don't belong in, you're destroying your MMR (and the MMR of others) and you will end up dropping to Bronze and likely being stuck there for a very long time. Do yourself a huge favor and stop playing ranked for the remainder of this season and just work on your mechanics and a select pool of champions that you want to master.

Probably not but this is so annoying, I, just going to stop playing league all together. I've even had people be like "I'm bronze 5 but it's end of season so I'm not really trying".....like okay then DONT OLAY RANKED and why am I out with bronze 5 as silver 3 makes NO sense

I understand what you're saying legend, and he's my past couple games have been bad cuz I've been so angry and pissed, then I et toxic teams, teams that don't communicate so I stop caring, but if you look at my first ranked games they were amazing,mthem I just started greeting aweful teams, and rune pages? If you need runes to win you shouldn't be able,to say you're good

See, this isn't Matchmmkings fault, really. You got carried through some placement matches, got placed higher than you belong, and it is quickly moving you to equilibrium with your skill level. You can't really expect it to get your level of placement perfect after 10 games, right? There is such a huge room for error, and it DOES have a balancing mechanism where if you are streaking (Hot or cold) you move faster up or down. So you are rapidly approaching where you belong. Losing is part of the game. Figure out what people are doing differently compared to you in the games you are getting crushed and try to use that knowledge to improve.

On top of what Legendari said, start using Flash. Or even Ghost on some of the champions you seem to play. In 8 of your last 10 games you didn't use Flash. That is ridiculous. The non-flash jungler strategy is really risky (Especially at your level), because it requires your team to actively have wards up in good spots, it requires your team to react to your TP, and it requires you to be able to make the hard decisions of when to TP and when not to. Running Flash will help you get your deaths down. Once you can keep your deaths low, you can start experimenting with running TP rather than Flash on your junglers again.
