Why do I get a lesser experienced team so often? (Coincidence or not)

I know this sounds whiny, but after each of my games in my almost 10 game losing streak in unranked games, all/most of my teammates have had less than 100 wins, where as my opponents have all had wins in the hundreds. At first I thought my losing streak was my own fault, and I just needed to practice more (and adapt to the new meta), but I really have been getting a terrible team every time. Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I getting a bad team because of my performance in previous games? More importantly, how do I get out of this slump?

You're still level 20, take it easy on those who still are probably learning the game still. Not everyone is great at the game for starters. Once you start playing more and more and doing better you will be placed with better team mates or gamers who's MMR if you ranked are the same as yours.

For now just continue getting level 30 and if you really want to go straight to ranking.

Edit: Forums was bugged and showed level 20 & naopgg showed him being level 20 PLUS the fact his match history he plays with unranked to level 10s+ my reasoning still applies. Downvote yourself.

One invaluable skill is communication. Bring proficient at communicating improves your team'skews strength as a whole completely. One recent game I had where we lost went like so. My jungler was fairly new and suffered an early invade and then another. He was obviously upset. Their jungler turret dove us and myself and my ADC died. I watched as the jungler went to steal my red buff and pinged it and told my mid laner to wall him in. That enemy jungler died and the shutdown gold went to my jungler. I then instructed him to take dragon now. He did and he died not long after. He got angry at himself for it but I told him that he actually got the winning deal out of that trade as his death saved our mid laner. He ran in the opposite direction and split the enemy support and the enemy ADC and our mid killed the support. Now when my ADC and I get back to lane we have a 2v1 advantage. He cheered up a bit once he started to see how his decisions did make a positive impact.

Because of this he followed my commands for the rest of the game and let me make his decisions for him. He played a little bit better because I used optimistic encouragement.
