So, why is it that I have to depend on luck to rank up?

Now I'm not saying "I'm so good I should be in Challenger" or anything. But I literally can not get out of silver because of the teams I am matched with. I can be doing great and try to help my team out as best I can, but in the end after they go -5 before 10 minutes there is little to no way to win the match. I'm sure there's no real way to fix this.. I just wanna complain about how bad the matching is.

Because riot cant think of a better system and well unless we stop dumping money into their wallets they dont have to do anything to improve it.

Then it means you belong in silver.

As someone who has played in silver games, it is very easy to carry in. There will obviously be games that you cannot carry if everyone else goes 0-3 in the first 10 minutes but most of the games you should be able to carry if you belong in a much higher division. If you belong in high Gold / low Plat or higher, then it should be very easy for you to climb, I went from Silver V to Silver I in about a week on another account.

With that being said, if you are silver I now and think you belong in low gold, then you are basically where you should be and it may be difficult to climb. My advice to climb, play one champ and get extremely good at that one champ and you will find yourself carrying a lot more than trying to play a lot of different champs/lanes. I played Irelia from when everyone thought she was a joke of a champ to now when she is considered top tier and went from Silver to Plat last season.

Keep playing you will carry yourself out.

Because you're not good enough to rank up on your own skill, which means you're being placed appropriately.
