So sick of troll players

I primarily play ranked matches, and I was Silver 1 prior to being demoted to Silver 2. I find that in probably half of my games the reason I'm losing is someone else. I had a wu kong top who had 18 farm after a 28 minute game... I just had a singed die three times before the 4 minute mark, then spam chat for the rest of the game (we lost in 18 minutes) about how its all our faults for not helping him.

I've been matched with a player (while I was at the silver 1 rank) who was playing his third provisional game... How does this happen? There were 9 rungs below me and this person, yet they made it into my match, on the edge of gold. Why?

Its infuriating and frustrating to try to hard to play well and achieve higher ranks when the other players, none of which you choose to play with, can't or won't hold up their end of the bargain.

I don't know what the solution is, but it's a serious problem.

Sadly thats the price you pay for being in Silver. Sure border edge of gold and everything. But when you sit down and think about it on some extents. Do you even deserve gold? Not trashing on you but giving you a reason to think. Maybe it's Riot's ranking system that is giving you a hint. You're not overcoming a single player causing a stink for the team?

I have seen feeders, ragers, racists, flamers, trolls in so many of my bronze matches it's absolutely hilarious. Yet I've learned that 1 player doesn't always = automatic loss. If you really want gold you need to take initiative to win at any and all costs. Get your team fed through your own actions. Set up situations that can get the team fed. Take a moment to watch the enemies actions. You might notice that a player "could" be tilted. If that person is tilted, then go crazy on them and make them even more tilted. When they're tilted they don't think, they don't feel, they don't anything. They become this mindless machine that you can abuse to achieve victory.

You need to carry harder. You also hardly ever get a positive KDA. You need to git gud and be able to and fuck the enemy solo 1v5 before youre able to say trolls are the reason you're not challenjour.

Oooh there's your main problem in the first few lines. "I find that in half my games the reason I lose is because of someone else" ...you gotta get rid of that attitude man. Stop thinking about what other players are doing and how many games u win. If you focus on winning, you will only bring frustration and tilt upon yourself. If you focus on other players, you're gonna forget about mistakes that you make and miss out on opportunities to improve.

Yes it's a serious problem, but the problem is your mentality. Your whole post is about what other players are doing. No advice given to you can improve what other players do.
