Unless you're playing at a level 3+ tiers above everyone else. Doesn't matter if you win bot 3/1. Doesn't matter if you have good dragon control. Doesn't matter if your rift herald just chunked two turrets. The weakest link becomes a massive problem for you and your heavily tilted teammates stop playing intelligently and are only pushing for an early surrender. On the other hand you can play at a mediocre level or straight up trash and 2-4 of your teammates start dominating the game; congrats, you got the smurfs on your side! Out of the past 40 games or so only like three have felt remotely close or balanced. I shouldn't have to burn out a win for simply 2 losses to even out because my teammates don't understand how to play from behind.The irony is I'm playing with like mid-high plats and the occasional diamond and wins toward that are worth ~ 26 LP while losses are worth 13 for losing to a team averaging a complete tier over ours. Excuse me for not playing at a master level to hit gold 1. Fucking hell.

Don't even get started on TFT lmao. #RNG

If you play like the rest of your team does then you play like a plat player so you are on your deserved ranked.

If you are in your deserved rank you will lose half your games.

Had a game yesterday where Me and my adc stomped a Lux Jinx lane to the tune of like 5/1.

Guess what?

Both solo lanes were 2/7 or worse.

So if you play like an average player in your elo you stay in that elo? Seems fair to me.

80% k/p, didn't feed, managed to deal 2nd most in the game, andddd -13 LP because I couldn't stop Diana and Blitz from getting caught out constantly or get them to grab free objectives. And Riot expects me to grind through another 100+ games of this cancer to climb one fucking division? ONE division after several games of having to attempt to hypercarry "plats" that perform worse than most of my silver-gold elo games? That's not fucking right. This is why I don't $ back this shit company anymore.
