I got matched with 5 trolls games in a row. Riot matchmaking? How is this possible?

Triple smite Support fiddlesticks and Elise who refuse to buy sightstone People who go 2-14, 3-18, 1-12 and 5-15

Why is this happening? I've been playing since season 3 and I've never come across these types of players THIS OFTEN.

Five games in a row with trolls. Legitimate trolls. I'm more confused than mad right now

It's not a normal losing streak..

as long as they pay money for skins, Riot don't care. They only punish you when you call them out on it for being "toxic"

Riot places people with similar players .... your game file is the same as those trolls you get matched with... i suggest you start a new account and be the nicest player you can be even when you get trolls and you will... if you deny it that only proves you to be the flaming type

ELO Hell is a real thing. Those actual trolls and bad people will incite rage in about everyone in the games they are playing. At the end everyone is so upset that reports are flying left and right about everyone else just bringing them more bad luck as, like you say, they get placed with people that have similar report histories. In Bronze it is a nightmare. I was high Silver for the past few seasons and I occasionally came across trolls but it was never that bad. This season I was placed in Bronze and it's turning out to be one of the worst gaming experiences I have ever had. It's nearly every game that I get at least one, if not more, people that incite rage and troll. I have started to mute people like this but that leads to people saying, in the post-game chat, that they are reporting me for failing to communicate with my team. You can't win, once you are in ELO Hell. My only hope is to play with my friends in Gold to get better matches but, not really being at Gold level myself, it potentially risks my friends' rankings.

I rarely talk or flame :/ I even got the red banner thingy at one point.

When I am matched with toxic players I just play and sometimes try to calm them down.

I really hope this unlucky streak ends soon because league is my escape. My life is hard right now :(

I came here wondering the same thing. Fortunately, for me, my experience was only 2 games. But that is 2 out of 3 losses right after getting promoted and it's making me paranoid about getting demoted again since I am sitting at 0 LP.

First guy was a Nunu mid that Q -stole our junglers first blue buff and then gave it to the enemy mid laner within 30 seconds of getting it and it just went downhill from there. Second was a Rammus jung that came in for ganks while we were successfully pushing the enemy bot lane under tower and dives them a few times dying in the process and getting them fed, and then blaming the rest of the team and generally Int'ing and/or just "spinning" in our base for the next 10-15 minutes.

I'm more afraid to play another game because I am pretty sure one more loss will get me demoted and I don't want to get placed with another troll. I would even feel better if I got confirmation/feedback that these people were getting banned but after each game you just have to continue on and pray that you don't get stuck with someone else like that.

Especially when people have multiple accounts. I wish more permabans would happen on the offending account, and then an IP ban for X amount of time, preventing them from just switching accounts while letting them come back eventually after, hopefully, learning a lesson. I get the technical reason why it isn't that simple... but it sucks that simply switching accounts is a workaround for them.
