Does riot drop you "on purpose?"
Do they intentionally place you with worse players as you climb? I notice my team quality dwindle if I have any more than 2 wins in a row. It's like it's "not allowed" or something and you need to get some losses sprinkled in there with the inevitable losing streak. Example, 2 matches ago I had a Silver 1 and an unranked player. The enemy team had a player in promos for Plat 5 and Promos for Gold 1. Needless to say we got smoked. Next match I had a Yasuo top who fed a Pantheon like crazy despite our pleas to play safe and wait for help. Nope, kept over extending and fighting when he got to lane. Next match I had a dysfunctional team who fed a Cho jungle. Cho jungle....yeah. I know I'm a bit tilted right now, but this just seems ridiculous. It's like they purposely stick you on a losing streak to bring you down, then they slowly bring you back up. It gets tiring and old. Same repetitive crap. It's also a little discouraging when I see people on the enemy team in the post game who have promoted or who are on like 7+ game winning streaks. Meanwhile I'm still trying to get my first win of the day.
