Don't see how I can win when A) Jungler basically doesn't exist, B) Other lane feeds and goes 0/6 or worse, or C) My lane partner is just retarded.

It's worse when I die once and then people start raging at me because I'm apparently a (derogatory term for) a Black person, a retard, a homosexual, or a 12 year old. This game's entire community is downright garbage, and it's at its worst in Ranked.

It's a team game, you can't "carry yourself up" as you claim. You win or lose as a team. Despite the fact that I go positive 95% of my games, my Elo steadily decreases because I happen to get feeders on my team almost every game. It's a very flawed system and assumes that your entire team is exactly as good as you are. Whether or not I personally did well makes no difference because if we lose, usually due to one bad player, my Elo decreases. That's the plain truth.
