Why am I doing so poorly in ranked?

At the end of preseason I finished g5 and after completing my promos for the new season I was moved to silver 3. After a couple of days I managed to make it back to about s2 40 lp before going on a losing spree and being demoted to s3 again. Just now I was demoted to silver 4. I am finding it extremely hard to carry games and would like some advice on how to better my gameplay.

I really do not know where to start and where I can improve. Usually in a game if I even get any lead I am immediately camped by the jungler since other lanes are usually losing. And another observation, alot of the players I am playing with are not true silver players. At s3-s4 I would expect to steamroll these opponents or find this much easier, but it has proven near impossible. Should I just give up on ranked for the time being? I really have lost alot of hope.

My only real advice is to take a break, and reform your strategy a bit, you might be tilting and pressuring yourself too much to win which inevitably leads to downfall, losses are inevitable and losing sprees are just as possible. What I like to do take breaks after achieving a certain goal then coming back. And ultimately, hope the RNG gods have mercy on your soul sometimes.
