I've climbed from Iron 2 to Silver 1 this season with a 55% WR overall.
The amount of trolls and AFKs in my Silver 1 & 2 games are near unbearable. It's making me want to quit grinding. I just want to get to gold, but every game feels lost in the first 10 mins.
I've had two top laners afk in a row after going 0/5 in 15 mins. I had my ADC disconnect from the game at 5 mins and never came back. There was no remake.

Just remember that it’s more likely there’s an afk on the enemy team than in your team. It’s five randoms compared to just the four. There isn’t a conspiracy against you to make you do bad it just happens sometimes. If you put the games into it you’ll come out on top.
It is a conspiracy though, the better you play the more sorry teammates you get to balance it out.
That doesn’t explain how Smurfs can climb out of silver and gold with a 100% win rate.
I don’t understand what your argument is supposed to say.
Edit: if you’re trying to say “Smurf’s prove your hypothesis incorrect because they get out of silver with 100% WR” then there is something I can explain to you.
You can be g1 and crush games with 9 bronze people.
You can be p1 and crush games with 9 silver people.
You can be d1 and crush games with 9 gold people.
And on and on.
Yes if a smurf that has multiple accounts in master or high diamond can exit silver with 100% win rate.
Silver is especially telling. Because climbing out of silver means beating at most p1 people and at minimum beating g4 people.
Did this mean that there is no conspiracy to balance win rates? No. It just means if you’re good enough you can excel despite the handicap.
Edit two: fixed rankings

I dropped from silver 1 to 4 in like 12-15 games straight because my teams could not keep it together after the first death. That is when I switched to TFT.
its a numbers game just play more
