Should you be demoted if you can't carry games in your current rank?

I found the enemies to be numerous as oppose to skillful when I would battle them in team fights in the past five games yet I lost every single game and I would be toxic if I blamed my team. My team was terrible each game and the other team just dominated them. I played the best on my team and sometimes the best in the whole match in the last five games so I take the blame for not carrying but should I have to carry to not get demoted? After soaring to S1 only to hit more toxic/bad players sinking me to S4 I finally made it to S2 only to hit this last string of bad games. I got demoted to S3 after 5 games where I got A-S scores and fielded questions in the lobby such as "This is a new account, can I play mid?" Which was asked in the 5th and deciding game before demotion. If I knew the solution for this I would develop video games, who do we know that develops video games and should consider putting more time into match-making? Or maybe everyone thinks it's fine to have a fill team filled with toxics on games that demote or promote you?

I dunno.

Has anyone even seen official comments about it?

I could understand the people hours would be historic but maybe it is worth it to your common players that are grinding only to constantly get filled/unbalanced teams when it matters most.

Honestly it sucks that people who are higher rank constantly mock posts like this cause they're truly not understanding that you are indeed a good player but your teammates are literally the worse every game! I have the same exact problem, and made a post about it in player behavior and literally got bashed for it by some guy. It's like they're not understanding that we cannot carry the team because they're dead before we can ever do anything for example.

Anywho I feel you friend, I really really do

its simple, if you are good you will climb, if you have a obvious skill celling you will stay there

But why would my skill ceiling be out performing people of equal rank but just not good enough to carry 1-4 dead weight. (Please I am not saying I'm good or that I'm not at fault) - Just saying the teams seem unbalanced more than my skill hitting the ceiling....if there's 10 players in a game an you do second or even first best but the rest of your team is ranked 6-10
