Ranked is utter bullcrap

So if anything, I'm just asking ho Riot's bad matchmaking for ranked works?

Literally my last 15 or more games I've played I end up having a team that has at LEAST 3 people feed and be nearly useless. They end up feeding the other team, and no matter how fed I get I can't win. It's getting to the point where nearly every game I play in ranked it's like the system EXPECTS me to carry EVERYBODY on my team.

What can make all this better? Because all of these bullcrap losses I get like 8 points for winning a game, and lose 25 for losing a game. I'm not even talking on my high horse, look at my match history if you want to just chalk it up to me being where I belong. In nearly all my games I always do well and hold my own, then you get a guy or three that is 1/9/2. I just think it's total bull that I'm getting paired with people that the game is expecting me to carry ALL the time.

This game's ranked has always been garbage, which is why i dont play ranked, not until i get old sion back and can kill the entire other team solo, or get a full team of players at least as skilled as me.

You get paired with people near your MMR, and your MMR compared to the average of your Division also determines how much LP you gain/lose (your MMR is horrible). Don't think that people are incapable of doing poorly the higher rank you are anyway; one team will always lose. You even see people feed in the professional series.

Also, having great KDA or farm doesn't mean anything if you didn't utilize that advantage properly. I can't exactly scour your match history and say "you did this wrong" or "you're right, you did nothing wrong", but I can say your kill participation is sometimes abysmally low. Work on roaming and showing up for teamfights. Carrying isn't just "I won my lane".

I mean don't get me wrong, I know that people lose sometimes, but it's just annoying because now it's ALL the time. I'm not a shining star, and it not even that I expect my team to be pros. I'm just tired of having a team that literally just FEEDS. I know that a game goes past laning phase, it's just that past laning phase there's nothing I can do. I attempt to roam most games, but most times bot ends up 2/7 anyways.

My main problem is that I'm constantly getting matched onto the team that has 3 people that are abysmally bad. No matter how much I help these guys they just keep giving kills and making the game that much harder. I'm not saying a baller KDA is all that matters, but you shouldn't be giving the enemy team a kill every other minute. I just don't understand why all the sudden the matchmaking threw me into this streak of bad teams. I went from Gold 5 to silver 2 because of this losing streak, and the matchmaking is still throwing me with teams that always just blow. Once again, I'm not expecting everybody on my team to be an all star, but getting all these games in a row where I'll be lucky to have at least one person not give a kill every 5 minutes is ridiculous. With my MMR being knocked down so hard you'd think the game would at least pair me with people it thinks can support how bad it thinks I am, but I just keep getting duds.
