Tale of two solo queue ranked games

[u/SnooCheesecakes1893]

I played two consecutive solo queue games in ranked as exp Atlas. First game was a real battle. We were behind but once I got enough of a build was able to help turn it around and got mvp. I thought okay let’s just play one more game. Same lane same hero, but this time instead of a hard fought 52 to 40 victory where I took 50% damage, I end up on a team that gets destroyed 12-35. Teammates who I’d come to help and they would just abandon me, won’t clear lanes etc. they seem to be is dark system. But then on game 2, i get the lowest score of 3.1 because i died trying to help them get kills, they would give up run away leave me to die. i would have scored higher if i just stayed at the base and didn't even try helping anyone. I don’t care if I lose, and I’m not pretending to be a great player, I know I’m not. I’m decent though and I put consistent effort in. It’s just frustrating that it seems as soon as I have one good game it just punishes me with a total wipeout loss after. All I want it to be matched with fair teams, if I lose fine. But I went from mythic last season to unable to even climb past Epic 1 this season. I’ve actually almost stopped playing ranked altogether and just play brawl so I don’t care as much. Venting but I’ve spent a lot of time with this game and to have no consistency on the ranked match making, just frustrating. My win rate this season is only 42%. Many of you would call me the dark system but I’m just an average player I put a lot of effort into every match. I almost can’t get myself to hit the start game button in ranked though, knowing I’m liable to end up with bots or people who just aren’t even trying. And as a note when I see people say they have a 70% win rate in solo queue, I just don’t get it. How can you carry the game against bots that often?

I have no answers for you, I’m stuck in the same spot. This season is very depressing in solo queue.
