TL/DR Given the nature of the various people playing the game Its just not reasonable to join solo que with random people and expecting the same kind of game of cohesive , tactical , communicative and efficient team work you would get from premade team who goals , ideals, play styles are the same

I would like to know how an average person is supposed to climb out of Bronze when they are in the middle of Promos and their last game before either ranking up or going backwards I manage to get a support Teemo and a team with no tank other than me int he top. That is next level troll.
Its not the game that is the issue usually its the player ....if you are having trouble getting out of bronze you may not be at a higher skill level than bronze yet. An unknown % of players out of the literally millions that play get though the entire season dealing with exactly the same solo que, same intentionally disruptive rule breaking players and still rise in ranks.

How can people have confidence in their team when stuff like this is always popping up and then you get punished for dropping out of Champ select because you know this will not go well. It's a Damned if you do, Damned if you don't situation.
Que dodgers should be punished if you are trying to cherry pick your team and are that concerned about its status and out come even in ranked you should not be joining a solo que in the first place. If you want a specific type of team that is what pre-mades are for.
In other words...
- If you want a "serious team"
- if you want team that plays like their lives depend on it .
- If you want to play meta
- if you want to have a coordinated team that communicates the way a pre made or pro team does.
simple solution
stop playing with random people if it s stressing you out and jsut play with a premade team you "have confidents" in.

I mean I know Riot has punished Non-meta played in the past for behavior similar like Singed support, not saying he was bad he just didn't always notify the team of his intentions. But now because of this I get knocked out of Promo's and it just sucks.
The singed and Nunu were not banned strictly banned for not playing meta they were "unique cases" .
Riot can have a rule saying playing non meta is not punishable and still punish someone if they feel the case is unique in some fashion.
Anyone is freely Alowed to pick any champ for any role i n any lane as long as the legitimately trying to perform the "roles" function.
That does not mean suddenly "playing non meta is now bannable"

Here we are again! The case of “Unusual Pick that Throws A Game on Its head” vs “The Teammates going WTF Is Going On”.
If you’re just tuning in we previously covered this topic with a similar case in December: “Support Singed isn't bannable, but that's not the point”.
We feel that the situation between these two edge cases are very similar. But it’s obvious we need to keep updating a few processes to smooth out any rare repeats in the future. And rare is what we’d call this; it’s a very unique edge case that seems to only present itself once every few months among thousands of audits that we process.
Let’s re-iterate our stance from before:
Q: Can I get banned for choosing a champion or strategy that is outside the current meta?
A: 100% no. Choosing a champion or strategy outside of the current meta is not a factor we take into account when reviewing accounts. On any given day tens of thousands of players are making unusual picks in the game and they’ll never receive penalties in any form.

Anyone have thought on how to rectify it?
stop playing with random people if it s stressing you out. There is a premade option for a reason.
Solo que Ranked ( or any mode for that matter) is great if you who definition of "fun" does not rest on the status or out come of the game
If you can have fun during a game regardless if there are afk's or intentional feeders then they lose all power, winning is great everyone likes winning also if you have fun during the game the losses are still enjoyable.
(no "fun" is not restricted to just normal.... anyone can join any solo que for any reason)
Simply put Some players simply play ranked not because they care about "ranked prestige" but because it is more "profitable" than playing normal.... for example would I get a champ / ward skin form playing normal all year ...no ...
so solo que is a good fit for that type of player
Now on the other hand if a player is taking the game to the epic level of seriousness making the outcome of the game , your rank your lp your ONLY source of enjoyment.
If you take that type of player and then they willingly and intentionally join a match with random people
You are basically spinning a roulette wheel
On that wheel are
- "serious people " like above
- legitimate jerks and thinking of ways they are going to intentionally destroy the match,
- People that may not take game as seriously as you
- People who just want to rage and verbally abuse peole for fun
- a legitimate "bad player" ( the not reportable kind)
- there are probably more player type examples as well
the probability of you getting 4 other "serious people " is very low
and
The probability of getting "bad people" something simply "going wrong"
or even something that you wont
Is higher than the probability of getting 4 other serious people
So knowing those odds why are you surprised when you spin the wheel and lose?
