Every time I get a lead in a Ranked game my team throws. Is ranked impossible for Bronze players?

Okay, so here we go.

I recently have decided to start playing ranked as I feel I'm finally getting a hang of how to play League of Legends. I often main ADC and Duo with my best friend who plays support. Nearly every game we get a good lead in lane and end up getting first turret. Through this we often end also winning early game and get to the team-fighting stage. This is often on multiple occasions where my team throws the game. A prime example is a recent game I played as Miss Fortune (played on the 22/06/2017) and we got 25 minuets with most of the enemies turrets down, 1 inhibitor and Baron buff. However, my team seemed to lack complete ability in team fighting after that point where we had gained such a lead i feel like they didn't know what to do.

Overall, my ranked experience isn't bad but i cant help but feel really disappointed and like quitting ranked all together as it feels impossible to win when your team (or yourself) throws a won game or gets completely destroyed from the beginning of the game. Overall, I'm here for guidance asking whether there is any point of actually playing ranked or should i just stick to normal games and give up my ranked dream altogether.

Please help me before i quit League of Legends completely.

Ranked is the opposite of instant gratification. It's a long, brutal haul if you really want to climb. You should expect to lose 4 out of 10 games minimum in ranked, just due to the nature of competition. It has less to do with your skill and more to do with luck of the draw until you get out of Gold.

Honestly like above said it feels like the luck of the draw (partly) Like when I play jungle and I'm doing ok amd if my team is doing horrible there is little I can do. But if I'm doimg great and roll into my power spikes I have been able to shift leads for my team if they are doing horrible.

If your skill improves you can and will win more than you would have if you were not as good but you're still gonna have games where you or your team or both are feeding and just sucking it up

The difference between league and other sports is comebacks are not dependent upon current score. What you do could mean absolutely nothing if you don't end as soon as possible. Call for a group fight if you're fed and you've taken first tower. Overextending on your own will get you killed. Rotate so you're not too close to the enemy nexus when you shouldn't be.

Quitting LoL is for your benefit. Get out while you can.
