Matchmaking system is so tilting

I know this will definitely get hate no doubt but i just need to let it out. Someone please tell me why it is so difficult to resist tilting when you get put into uneven teams. I understand you are paired with players of even skill level and there is a system similar to mmr that's able to determine how well a player plays, however as fair as the matchmaking system seems, every now and then you'll get paired with a player who is inexplicably unable to win with compared to the other un-carryable player of the same skill level on the enemies team. Unfortunately as noticeable as it seems now since i began paying hard attention to these types of players in all my games i see them more on my team than on the enemy team losing me games more than winning me games and even when it wins me a game it still tilts me so much even when it's not my problem.

For those who don't understand here's a little scenario of how it is, We have 3 players who have the mindset and skill level of plat, me and 1 player who's getting near plat mentality and understands that mindset. Then on the enemy team they have 4 plat mentality skill level players and 1 complete bronze player who instantly gets caught out doing skuttle....several times. How does one not tilt when you spend 50 minutes of your time hoping to win but end up losing because of something you can't control.

It isn't easy to ignore this problem like why even try anymore when we're bound to lose. I can't just say "Try my best and hope to win, if we lose, we lose." Maybe that's my problem, how do you make out of these frustrating games?

Lol system is aweful it doesnt go by player skill it goes by wins which doesnt fall on one player alone since its a team game...so mmr n system going by wins makes no sense specially if u never get a good team

Honestly I think the matchmaking systeme is quite good. But recent balance changes to make the game more snowball heavy (rift herald, tower first blood) make most games more an absolute stomp, so the matchmaking system appears to be bad

I know the feeling these two matches I had back to back.

in the kennen loss I had one of the best scores on the team(which is really bad) and in the win I had the worst score of the team. These matches were so one sided that I really didn't have that much fun in them. In some other matches I had some really close games tho.

you and your team were silver and you got matched with a bronze 1. i dont get it silver = plat and bronze = trash or what? doesnt seem like a huge mmr difference to me.
