Can we get better matching?

I know its all RNG but can I just vent my frustration that game after game I get match ups where I do really well, I go six and zero early or something, I keep my enemy in check, but then the rest of my team feeds the top laner and jungler and I can do nothing .... like when i get out of a game with total team kda of 7/32/4 and my own kda is 6/3/0 .... what am i supposed to do there.... this is a clear case where i can blame my team... I know people often take a never my fault approach but the numbers don't lie, Im even adapting to the new Akali fine but damn

i was doing good damage and staying alive but my team just couldn't keep up so there was nothing I could do to carry or anything. I know I know, its a team game, cant win em all blah blah but it seems I just keep getting paired with feeders not inting but people who just dont know the match ups.... i know I could do ranked but... ew, way too much pressure and toxic shiz way less fun overall

Idk I am not expecting a real response... just need to vent a bit here, I didnt even get mad or flame my team, I just played and maybe said WW was op one time (yeah hes not that bad but he was fed) but its one thing when I mess up but so frustrating game after game when I do well and my team just doesn't pick up the slack and I am in a no win situation. I really do not know what can be done, cause its a player issue not a game issue but idk .... just lose streaks hurt a lot more when it really is not your own fault or some games are but that one game you do really well and literally your own lane is the only one that isnt fed on the enemy team because you actually did your job

Oh well such is life just dang

Nothing you can do and it’s frustrating as hell. Game needs a mechanic to spring board you ahead in situations like this so you can actually have a chance to 1v5 when you outclass your opponents

I’ve had to stop playing ranked because of this

1 Quick solution is to use premade groups and try to get Riot to incentivize that as the premier "Competitive" experience.

However, Skill MM does not have as close a relationship to gameplay as people on the boards behave like. It cant fix behavior issues or Balance issues. Your talking about systems that judge off individuals trends on match outcomes and adjust around Class intervals. The # of variables are uncalculatable as they are un-predictable for in game. So what used is the proven results of all those what ifs and permutations, A win or a Loss. The importiant distinction is that W or L is not league exclusive and frankly does not give a shit what leads up to it.

I tend to go on long walls about MM because I think the Math and logic is cool. Its uh... Not for everybody. Most folks don't wanna hear about how fucking neet Arpad Elo's contentious raiting formula is and thus Rn=Ro+K(W-We) just looks like gibberish to them. Then you start explaining the individual variables and values.... anyhow.. not a topic for everybody.
