Tell me how...

Someone, please, go view my match history, and tell me how I can carry the players that I get matched with.

I do my absolute best every single game, try to encourage other players by saying things like "it's all good, you'll get 'em next time", or "its fine we got dis", and the occasional "hey man, you mind grouping with us?".. But these players seem to disregard my every direction. "Hey guys, they just got baron, let's defend", the team engages in the jungle. I spam ping, doesn't work. I'm usually an overall positive player, but when I get punished for playing well and being positive by getting these losses because of the players I get matched with, it just make me angry.

Why the hell does my ability to climb rely on those that I get matched with? That makes no sense. Yes, you might say that statistically I should be winning more than 50% of my games, which I am. You can say that I should be focusing on objectives, which I do. But this is ridiculous. This cycle of win streaks and then losing streaks BECAUSE OF MY TEAM is something that I'm baffled by. I'm not saying that my wins are not due to m team. I'm just saying that it simply isn't fair to perform well, make the right decisions, and constantly try to uplift the morale, and then get rewarded with a fucking loss.

I leave most of these losses satisfied with my performance and tell myself "It's all good, I did well, next game's gonna be the one". Nope. I go into every game expecting the best out of myself and trying to perform as much as possible to fill those expectations. I have cured so many bad habits such as getting greedy, diving early, chasing, and not kiting. But despite MY knowledge, my team still does those things despite my guidance.

I have no idea what to do to start winning more and losing less. I've been at Gold V for about 600 games. Clearly, I belong in Gold V. But, as you have read, I have no idea how the fuck to get out.

I'm done, I needed to get this out of my chest.

tl;dr: Just another rage thread.

You're in Gold 5, end of the line for boosted accounts. Wait until the next season starts and you'll be OK again.

Mostly because of the MMR system. You start winning enough that Rito matches you with players with low MMR to create a "balanced" fight with another team. The problem is that these players could have been carried or boosted and no where near the level they are supposed to be. Given the nature of LoL and how easy it is to get fed and carry, if one lane loses horribly while every other lane is tied or is winning by a margin, you will likely lose that match.

Now eventually you lose enough that your MMR gets decreased to the point that you are getting matched with good players, in which case you will be more likely to win since your MMR does not accurately reflect your skill level. This is why win streaks and loss streaks happen.

This effect is only compounded by the amount of people who where carried or boosted to their current rank, causing longer and more violent streaks.
