Ranked System

So...I've been playing ranked for a couple of months now. I started in B5 because I had no idea what to do. I had then climbed all the way to G3 with 1700 elo and was almost into G2; and then I started losing. I lost so many games because for some reason I was all of the sudden being placed with players who wouldn't communicate, wouldn't strategize, and wouldn't listen. I know you might say "what if you're just bad? what if it's you who started sucking?" You just have to believe me...I am getting horrid streaks..Anyways, this caused me to drop down to G5 with 0 LP and 1500 elo. I currently play with mostly S4-S2's, and I'm usually the only Gold player. I now receive 15 LP for wins, and I currently lose 20 LP for losses. My losses are more consistent than my wins, so statistically speaking, I'll never get out of G5? I see huge flaws with this system. If someone who's been in this situation can help me, that'd be great.

Thanks.

(P.S. - I usually win my lanes as well. It seems my opponents have so much lack of awareness and map presence and I know exactly what moves they're going to make and what their team is doing, but it doesn't matter...because my team is usually more uncoordinated than theirs.)

I've been trying to get to Silver from Bronze 1. I played 17 games yesterday, including 2 silver promo series. I won 10. Guess EXACTLY where those 7 lost games fell? Right, all but one lost game was in my series, where I had such brilliant teammates as a 0/10 Singed top, a 0/7 Morg mid, a 1/10 top Nidalee, and a Leona who stood there waiting for an "opening", didn't do anything, not even an unpowered autoattack or a ward, except walk in circles until 17 minutes in, and yelled at me for being zoned by a Vayne-Thresh lane.

This stuff happens at every level. I would love to say it's worse where I am, but from what I have read on the forums that is not the case.

Oh also...this losing streak has happened over about a week and a half now. It was very sudden..

What i think happened to you dude was you got stuck with either boosted or smurf accounts and no one cares while playing those so they just do bad cause they have no idea what they're doing

I have also been having that prob but in Bronze 5 right im about to get promoted to B4 ATLEAST i start getting AFK's and trollers Isnt there like a way for us to like rank up in Solo Que without having to depend on other players? like i dont know we could rank up base on our kills/deaths and assists instead of the end result. or something like that.
