4 games today making me question why I reinstalled

First game I go 1-1, end up with two duo queued trolls on team throwing bot lane with double digit deaths, pretend raging at each other.

Second game 8-7, pretty even up until the Rakan sup on our team afked out of the match with about 10 minutes left.

Third game, New Nasus player that doesn't understand stacking mechanic and builds pure damage instead as well as an MF that won't group with the team (which cost us the game at the very end). 11-8, not my finest game, but not horrible. Perhaps the only warranted loss of these 4.

Fourth game, Ashe raging and having conniption in bot lane, Garen feeding a top lane Annie whilst buying damage items instead of mr, and a WW who's "final form" consisted of diving the enemy team alone and dying repeatedly. 3-2, which seems like very little but considering the team had 16 kills and the next person had more than twice my deaths, not bad at all.

My question now is this. How am I expected to climb in an environment like this? I played 4 games, and in all 4 (arguably 3) I was handed trolls and told to win.

op.gg me if you want to see more in-depth analysis of those games, I don't feel like posting a link.

If you are good enough you will carry them out. Going 11-8 isn't carrying and isn't all that great to be honest.

I'm not sure of your rank but it sounds bronze/silver level and you can easily carry out of those ELOs if you are a strong enough player.

Focus on what you can control and improve on. You can't control teammates or bad players on your team only yourself. Blaming others for a loss will not improve you as a player. If you can only do well when everyone else on your team is doing well it doesn't really say much for you.

I used to be like you. Always whining about bad teammates and I can't win because of the matchmaking. Then i finally took a look at my own play and my own picks and focused on that. Much better player now. Should hit plat soon.

You basically have to play billions of games because not only is matchmaking shit but the games pretty shit atm.
