Ranked Games

So I played ranked for the first time. I did decent playing normal games in top or adc. I figured maybe I can finally try out ranked. Not only was I massively outmatched in the 2 games I played, but my entire team bashing on me to the point where I just didn't want to play and get out of ranked. I thought I would be matched with people who are unranked and new as me, but I paired with golds and silvers, who were all just on the brink of a promotion, and everyone blamed me. I probably got reported so many times and I just refuse to go back there.

But I want to get better. Maybe I'm not understand the mechanics as well as I should. Any tips?

Default mmr for new players is s4-s5 so it's not unusual to play with some silver and gold players in placements. The more you play the closer you'll get to your skill level, don't get deterred by toxic players just focus on improving your own play.

What the above poster said.

Basically you should ignore the wins/losses and in game chatter, focus on your own gameplay.

Eventually the MMR will adjust to bring you to your skill levels, and just the same it will go up as you get better and climb.
