Normal 5v5 Performance vs Dynamic Ranked 5v5 Performance

Hey all you summoners out there, I've been noticing a very disturbing trend in my match history. Now I know the stigma most elitist Gold+ players have toward ~Gold 5 players, as I am a bronze if you can't already tell form my use of the S4 silver solo queue icon but cast all that aside because I just want some help explaining this as I really think that I have improved not only my attitude, but my performance in general. Anyway enough with the formalities (yes I am still expecting you to treat me and this discussion with respect and the utmost seriousness). I have been winning my normal games rather frequently with an average win rate according to my op.gg profile, but in ranked it is a totally different story. As of the time I posted this I currently have a 50% win rate in Normal 5v5 compared to Ranked where my win rate is 45% but I feel as though most of my wins were only from the enemy having a(n) AFK/troll/feeder rather than winning through my determination and skill as a player. I feel like I only manage to win my ranked games because of either dumb luck or someone else's misfortune, making the win feel like I didn't learn anything (a hollow victory if you will). I'm starting to wonder if I should even play ranked anymore, even though most of my solo queue problems have been fixed. Leave a comment and upvote to help me get filled with determination again.

Ranked is completely f*ed right now, and the miscreant is the dynamic queue.

This system, which I am sure sounded like a great idea on paper when riot decided to force soloplayers to play with premades whether or not they want to, messed the matchmaking so badly, that now you get low silver and even bronze and unranked, matched to players who were gold I last season.

Its ridiculous. I am done with ranked until the pure solo Q patch hits live, and if it doesn't well, there are other games.
