Why pro players don't have loosing streaks?

Hi guys, I just get massive loosing streak, I fall from P1 60LP to P4 20LP in two days. I don't say that I played all the games good, I had good and bad moments, it's obvious, but I never had game like 0/10. Anyway even if you are playing bad, ther's always a chance that you will be carried, but life is brutal, sometimes no matter if you are good or bad, you just keep losing, it's ok. But I'm wonder, how it is possible that pro players don't have losing streak? Like DOPA who get master in 70 games?! I mean, I know that he's good, but let's be honest guys, when all your 3 lanes go 0/5, you lose first tower in 3min, then 2 guys go afk and the rest just wants to open mid, there's no way to win, no matter how good you are. We all have games like this. In my loosing streak I admit, that in about 10 of them maybe I could carry them if I play better, but the next 10 was an executions on out team, where I bet there's no chance for single player to carry them. So how it's possible, that only cassual players have problems with losing streaks like this? How it's possible, that all my laners lose really hard from the beggining then starts inting 10 games in a row, when pro players barely have games like this? What's the key, the secret of pro players, that they rarely have uncarryable games?

Pro players know when to stop hurting yourself by playing more and more games. Some nights are not good, if I get 3 absolutely trash games in a row. Its either time to switch games or at least a different mode.

There's a massive difference than thinking you are 'good' and actually being consistently good. If you are consistently good you will make a positive enough impact in your games that you'll not have huge losing streaks because your team has a huge advantage by having you on your team.

The problem is most people think they are better than they actually are which makes them blame others rather than learn the game more. The sooner you realize you are not as good as you think you are the quicker you learn and climb.

I first did ranked season 2 and I was down to like 500 mmr, which is bronze 5. It took me around 1000 games before I finished the season at 1250 mmr to get silver 5. It took this long because j came from competitive fps gaming where I was consistently at the top so figured I would be good at league.

After I realize it took me way too many games just to hit silver 5 I realized i had to learn and hit gold 1 pretty quickly in season 3.

Season 4 I hut plat 5 tgdn only played normals until I felt I was truly diamond worthy.

Season 5, 6, and current I hit diamond within 2 weekso if ghetto season starting.

If you feel stuck then admit you aren't as good as you want your be and spam normals while you focus 100% on your own game. You need to get in the mindset of ' what could I have done better' instead of focusing on your team mates.
