Just A Bit Curious...

Just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same issue as me and whether or not it is because of a game mechanic or a shift in player tactics or behavior.

I have been playing games in Normal and I can't seem to win my games consistently anymore.

It began ever since patch 5.13 went live and regardless of who or how I match up with someone the match always has an element that negatively impacts my game such as someone being disconnected, AFK, trolls, or toxic players on almost all of my games (before I rarely had any of these in my matches and if there were any it had little to no impact on the game).

While I am capable of carrying a game the situations on both my team and the enemy team leave me incapable of filling in for the weaknesses of the team (bad coordination, underfed players, counter picks, etc...).

So now I am left here after my 7th loss in a row wondering if it is my fault my team lost or if there is truly an unfair element at play recently.

Please leave behind a comment, would love to see others' opinion on the matter (maybe even some feedback to help improve my win-rate).

Edit: Just found out about this: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752954-Matchmaking-Guide#q1

Really helped to explain a lot about my situation (wow). Btw, thanks for the feedback so far considering I thought this would just turn to dust on the unseen corners of the Boards. And as always GLHF everyone :D
