To Carry, or Not to Carry

So I've been consistently plagued by the ridiculous community on here as many of you are so aware of. I consider myself to be a skilled player, one who likes to win and always strives to. I always work with my team (as long as i still have one after 14 minutes) but most of the time, i can honestly say, my team forces me to lose whether i am playing at god level or not. I am constantly told that if "Im good enough i can carry no matter what" which is absolutely absurd and hypocritical to say to someone. I have take notice to the inaccurate skill evaluation of placement levels during the 10 placement games in ranked. My first 5 went as follows.

1. Total victory. even team work, we smashed them

2. Victory, i carried, lead team to victory and they followed up to ensure the win

3. Defeat; our mid laner afk'd @ 12:00 - the Top got tilted after his FIRST death and intentionally fed the entire game to try and make us FF while i was trying to carry i was (14-2 might i add)

#4. Defeat; we were winning untill 12 minutes when corki realized he wasn't getting an S rank, so he intentionally fed and laughed, taunting the team saying ( "I'm glad you're gonna lose, im not getting an s so idc" ) #5. Defeat; we were almost gonna win, we had destroyed 2 inhibs and we had 4 towers left at our base after 28 minutes. i was 17-4 jg. The adc went afk, top lane sat in base repeating a ff vote, saying (im not helping till we FF). So 3 of us were still trying to carry and we went on for 35 MINUTES going 3v5 while the guy sat in base grieving.............

I just want to ask a question. How does this fairly rank me as a representation of my skills? as you can see, ive done everything i can. The first two games were not given however; we snagged the win. But how does this make sense? The game is a TEAM game, but that should not be taken from a reverse psychology standpoint to say that its MY fualt we lost, because i was on the team. No, teams disagree sometimes but the whole point is to win, especially when you're given an option to play ranked or not. It is absolutely ridiculous to try and evaluate a players skill level by seeing how they preform with w group of intentional losers. (Farm stealing, lane squatting, intentional feeding, base squatting for 22 minutes, ect)

Let's face it, we all know whats gonna happen, i play the rest of my placements and the crap continues, maybe ill get a few more wins because im trying hard as crap to carry it; but i will be placed in bronze and continue to get me elo thrashed by all of the ridiculous nonsense. So many players suffer this, and its almost like the game attempts to punish you for actually being GOOD AT IT. It never fails, I carry a game that i wasnt supposed to win (due to afks and trolls) and after that it matches me with 4 trolls instead of 1 or two just to MAKE SURE i lose a few times in a row before i get a decent team. not only that, but i play this game for what it is and is advertised to be; an E-Sport. and no sport, will intentionally punish you for having some any degree of skill.

I think that this is the reason people continue to troll and be toxic in LoL. because the game has pretty much become a big joke. No one takes it seriously anymore because the tomfoolery has become normal and actually i have found by large consensus, new players start this game specifically TO BE toxic. I used to have lots of competitive fun with this game a few seasons ago, but now its become a breeding ground for the most cancerous people of this generation. and not only encourages them and rewards them for doing so, but builds arrogant egos that ultimately just amplifies the problems.

Anyone else experienced this? (I have made 3 acc's fully leveled so I've been through it many times its always the same) Anyone else trying to have fun on a game that was once great but is now just a painted over method of Cyber Bullying? Feel free to comment and leave your thoughts or advice ~ [Note: If you comment something toxic and ignorant ill just ignore you and you'll just add even more validity to my claim]

If you have 3 accounts in Bronze and are unable to climb out the issue is you. You are the only constant from game to game. You are not perfect, no one is, there is always something to improve on (cs, trading, positioning, objective control, ganking, the list goes on). Don't keep creating accounts hoping to get placed higher, accept that you are in Bronze and start working to improve.
