Yes, ranked is tough

No, it IS fair

Yes, it takes forever to get to your true MMR

No, middle and jungle arent the only places you can easily carry from. Its champions not lanes.

Yes, its hard to organize people in ranked, thats why you use champions who do it for them.

If your losing more than your gaining, your above  your rating. If your gaining more than your losing, your below your rating. Ranked play rewards dedication and determination, nothing else. That means be patient and suck up the Bronze V or Silver V rating for now, it'll improve if your putting in the effort and time. Never judge someone based on their ranked position, if they have at or below 100 games played, 90% of the time that means they havent played enough games to reach their MMR. And just because your at a low or high MMR, doesnt mean your good or bad. Many Diamond's and Plat's are shit mechanically and could be outplayed by a Bronze V scrub, but could easily lead a ranked team. Same goes for a guy in Bronze. He may stomp your ass mechanically, but have no clue what to do after the 20 minute mark. Ranked position is STILL W/L, nothing else.
