Thinking about quitting...

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I don't know if this is the right place to vent, but I really needed to get it all out. Lately, I've been playing mostly with people way above my skill level. I'm level 29, not even that good and I've been playing with and against lots of people in silver and gold. This means I get trashed a lot. Most of my recent games have been defeats, and I'm getting frustrated because in a lot of cases, it's my lack of skill that causes the loss. All I want to do is play against people who would be an even match for me and I don't know how to make that happen. Even with all my crushing losses lately, I STILL get matched with people in silver, gold, heck, even plat! I know there are a ton of people who play blind pick so the riot team finders must be able to find some people who are around my skill level. I used to play with friends who are silver but I haven't played with any of them in ages so I can't understand why I'm being matched with people in such high ranks.

All of these losses lately have made me not even want to play the game. What's the point if I'm just going to drag my team mates down with me? Even making a new account doesn't seem like an option because I enjoy playing with the champions I own and I'm so close to level 30! Not to mention the skins I've bought. If the losses weren't so bad, I'd still enjoy playing but the game's no fun if you don't even have a chance. I don't want to quit league because I remember when I had a lot of fun playing. I want to reach level 30, maybe increase in skill and ascend through the ranks a bit.
Sorry for the rant.

You should try focusing on improving in areas where you struggle. Try watching streams of high ranking players like SickMotion. Really watch your playing and watch everyones movements, learn from mistakes and learn how you can play better. Winning is not about killing the opponent. Grouping, warding, objectives are the biggest parts of the game. If you have not built rune pages then you should definitely work towards building those up because they impact the game heavily right now. Buy a pink ward early on and place it somewhere that you want to keep clear of enemy wards but the enemy wont look for it. Focus on last hitting minions, some of the high ranking players on teams like TSM or EG have been able to reach 200 minions killed at 20 minutes, that is a difficult feat but that puts them at a huge advantage.

Lose a million games in a row dicking around. Like, go Fiddles adc and build 100% crit. You will have fun doing this. Then, your MMR will be with the lowest people and you will bring it up to where you are playing people of your skill :).

once you play ranked, you will find playing vs equal skill easier to find.
