I have been playing LOL for about 3-4 years now. im not a master but i am atleast silver. In fact im silver 4. i play the best games i can possibly play, but i cant get a game with other people that know how to play the game, you know what i mean? i get trolls every other game, people trying new champs out in a ranked game!, even people who will feed when they dont get a gank they wanted. i have no idea why i get locked in with these people. i farm, i engage when needed but i cant fix these people. Why cant riot fix the match making system? why is it only based off wins and not how the person did?

I know i am a better player than last season, but i am still at silver 4 and cannot get out for the life of me. i have been trying for 2 years, watching streams, learning and playing. yet, i get traped with these people.

i dont think this is a healthy game to be playing as it is just a rage fest. i get an Udyr going 2-13 and wont listen to team. i know that i am "supposed" to carry everybody every game, but thats darn righ impossible.

I try to carry, making all the decisions when i could, and try to win everybodies lane for them , but that doesnt work on this game.

Maybe ranked isnt for me, or maybe i just need to form a team, or get a high lvl friend duo q with me to get me out of this. I have no idea and i thinks this is BS.

Skimming over your profile, you've only played about 100 ranked games this season. The system is designed to stabilize over a large number of games. Play more games to limit the overall impact of individual trolls.

Why cant riot fix the match making system? why is it only based off wins and not how the person did?

Because, like event icons, people would then try to optimize person gains over working with their team to win. Furthermore, personal contributions are greatly nuanced.

Carrying every game is only possible when you're a much stronger player than what the system thinks.

At the end of the day, League is a game. Relax, and stop taking every setback so personally. It's fine to be competitive, but if you're not even having fun, why are you playing in the first place?

Hello Musicianking1,

I don't know if you've seen or read Riot's official Matchmaking Guide, but many of your questions are answered here

In addition, I found a funny meme on the EUW forums that depicts pretty much how you feel here
