The reason why it worries me is that I'm relatively new to the league and started paying ranked just recently, so I don't fully understand how it works. I got ranked bronze 1 almost right away for some reason skipping iron and other 3 steps of bronze, and I know its still a pit bottom for most players, but I just had like 5 games in a row, where I felt pretty much useless and clueless, although I did try hard. Also, I am almost always qued up both with and against silver/gold now. Specifically, I am always the lowest ranked one on my team and every victory I get like 35 lp even if I died a lot and wasn't that good at all. I don't understand why. And then I stick with normal I feel like I'm not learning as much. (then I played soraka in normal i got S/A , I and in ranked its just C or even D. Soraka )

So should I continue trying with ranked even if it feels like I'm ruining it at the moment, or just stick with normal until I'm absolutely sure I understand clearly how everything works?

When your new to a Que you have a High K factor that impacts your MMR gains and losses more dramatically. So that it can shift you around the ladder to a point your not hard carrying or deadweight. So Luck can be a factor in making ya mismatched early on creating a rubber band effect largely off who your teammates are.

Flex and Solo are tracked separately, Your Solo games tend to be in the range of S4. Entirely reasonable for a B1 player. Your Flex games shift around more and are a bit higher but your still in provisional state where your placements are unfinished.

The expectation you should have is that your going to run a risk of being misplaced on ladder up until you have 100+ games.

Right now your sample size of information just to little for the system to know and your gonna see dramatic MMR changes for a while off games to try and dial you into the right ranges. If you get up to far the odds of you costing your teammates games increase... don't get discouraged. Keep trying to improve every game. Playing vs people above your skill is a very good way to see where and how you make mistakes. Its the things they will abuse you over.

It will balance out with time, just aim to win and learn from matches.

Since this case is solved I suggest deleting it so noone gets the wrong idea (title potentially makes it seem like the ranked system is currently messed up).

When you start rank newly you really get a lot of LP
