I Can't Be The Only One Experiencing This

I tried to attack an image, if it didn't work, here's the imgur link: https://imgur.com/gallery/He8obo8

Anyways, left are the games the led up to the games on the right. Like clockwork, as soon as I start winning back to back games and getting grouped with players that want to win, can communicate, and acknowledge WHEN they make a mistakes (not if) I in turn end up with getting grouped with a slew of players that are the exact opposite; blaming every little thing on another player, being negative and toxic, going afk, or just plain walking down mid lane and into the enemy teams towers.

Short of being heads and tails better at micro and macro game mechanics, I'd be extremely surprised if most people that have seriously approached climbing the ladder hasn't experienced this.

I talk about it all the time when I'm streaming and to people I get into games with and they say it happens to them too. This can't be a coincidence.

It happens EVERY time.

Not really a question, just an observation I'd wanted to share and discuss. It's aggravating.

I stopped playing ranked personally because it feels like the system matches you with people who cannot win when you are winning. So the better you do the worse team they give you. Feels terrible.

You're going to get teammates worse than you and who aren't coordinated eventually. Roughly half of teammates will be like that, just like half of them will be better. Same for the opponents.

If you looked at other times, you'd find plenty where it alternated much more evenly. Sometimes streaks happen, though, because that's just statistics.

In the left games, you played (what seems to be) your main role in all but one. In the right games, you played either offrole or off-champ. Just stick with jungle Warwick, dude. You're good at it.

Tilt could very much also be a factor.

Everytime my friends and I go on a win streak, we start joking about "when is the turn coming?" Because we know that the win streak is going to be followed by a horrendous loss streak most of the time. Its a strange phenomenon. I dont think its intentional. I think its just the combination of probability and confirmation bias.
