I know low ELO sucks, but come on.

I cant win a game... its like every game, top, mid, adc are just... horrible... as if they are level 10s just getting into the game... Or people intentionally banning champs people want to play in prelobby just to troll, then get in game and just intentionally feed... or the guy that says he only plays shaco in ranked turns out his shaco is only level 4 and he gets melted then by the end of the game he is just spamming "ADC MAIN"

It doesnt make sense... when does playing this game get better? when do the trolls stop happening consecutively nearly every game... every game... or some troll blowing up on their support for their going in and dying... or Pinging the jungle to gank over and over when jungle is across the map, then that lane dies and the next thing that pops up is "fu*kn jungle, you suck"

When does it stop... It doesnt happen in other games often. Rainbow 6 Siege or RTS's or many coop games I play...

Advice, something... its so hard to enjoy soloq any advice... I feel like it would be worth a dodge if I see it coming...

Isnt there something that can be done... hell ill take a credit check from riot and only let me play with people with good credit... I know those people are responsible.

What i suggest to you, is look at your own match history, realise your own mistakes. Its easiest thing to blame teammates, but if you are equally bad, that means u dont expect your teammates to be good, but to carry u. And dont think "Hey i got 20:19" at least i have positive score. You still have 19 deaths. Quick look at your games:

Illaoi - 8:12, high farm, low assists, most deaths, only 16 wards in 54 minutes. Worst KDA in team. Probably split pushed whole game ignoring team.

Brand mid- 5:13 200 CS in 56 minutes, worst score in team, less gold gain than support, team probably lost cuz of you

Amumu- 0:9, again, most deaths in team, i mean how do u die so many times with such tanky champ? At least this Pantheon was worse than you, so you arent worst.

Jinx - 1:8 Low farm, most deaths, that one kill was probably with ultimate some nice snipe. Again worst in team.

Rengar - 8:14 Most deaths, least assists, only gained more gold than support, but barely. High ammount of kills, but u were probably going yolo, jumping into 5 enemies, to try to kill 1 , didnt work most of the time. Again, worst in your team

Half of the games in your match history, you are worst in your team. 1/4 of them, you are decent, not too bad, not feeding, but your team is fairly fed and doing most of the work. And 1/4 u are doing fine. U barely have any games where you dominate your lane, where you get fed, when you carry team.

Go play bots where even a bronze can win 1v5 for your first win. Then go back to pvp so you don't give a fuck anymore. Once get rid of that stress you tend to do better.

Rainbow six theres always a glaz that ruins my fucking game when im on defense. On to your question, it doesnt improve till LCS. People in diamond 1 are paid to troll when they get into a streamer lobby.

I don't know. That wasn't my experience in low Silver(just earlier this year). In fact, I haven't seen issues as rampant as you're describing since B3... So I think what you need to do is self-evaluate how you're approaching each match. What is your mindset about your teammates going in, and what do you hope to achieve.

Expect the best of your teammates, even when they're losing their lane. With 5 people on the team everyone is important, even low damage dealers are contributing and if you are willing to believe in them they'll often surprise you by coming back. They won't do that if you've tilted them.

Don't encourage the problems already there: a lot of people are neutral verbally, but when you harrass them for making a mistake or say something that sets them off, then they become a negative person which affects others, and things go downhill from there.

Always think about how you could have played better. Did their fed top laner just come down and kill you? Well you could blame your top laner for feeding/no mia. Or you could say "dang I should have kept up a ward there". You can get frustrated at your team for not peeling for you, or you could think about where you could have positioned to avoid taking damage in the first place. Until you're getting kill after kill and never die, then you will continue to have room to improve, so focus on that because ultimately you can't control what the other 4 people on your team do, work on what you can control which is yourself.

Lastly realize that after placements it often takes a while for you to settle into where you actual elo is. You might continue to fall for a bit, don't let it freak you out. You can always improve and climb your way back up so just let the elo change as it will. I promise you it's possible because 2 years ago I dropped into Bronze 5 and today I sit comfy in Gold 5.

You can only get better yourself, I try to ignore chat as much as possible because it usually is not filled with teamwork, but just rage.

The big part of these stomp games is because match making puts level 10-20 accounts against gold, even plat players. That's why you can be doing really well and suddenly someone goes 0/15/2 on your team, that and smurfs, the match making has far too wide a range of skill level it matches people up.

Silver 1 has been pretty pleasant for the most part. Most of my games have been close at some point and overall most people seem to be around a similar skill in most of the games. Little trolling and afks once in awhile, but overall its been alright. Probably because anyone in silver 1 playing is excited to be close to gold and all the gold players are just happy to be in gold and out of silver.

Now silver 2 and lower.............. is a real shit show.
