Within the past week, I have noticed a severe decline in my win-to-lose ratio beginning with a single 8-9 loss streak. What was a 50-60% win-rate is now 47%. I am currently losing 70-80% of games played [both ranked and unranked]. Tier 4 ruby to 0 pips in ruby. Disconnects in 20% of games.
I’ve also noticed very sour attitudes in PvP. I have teammates [and have observed players on the opposite team] quit within the first minute due to a lost point or what have you and simply stand in town.
A couple bits of information in the spirit of objectivity:
-I play a ranger/druid. I got to ruby playing a condi variation I was pretty proud of, and switched to a support/power ranger a few days ago [trying something different in the face of what seemed to be a pretty major blocade]
-This is my first season playing ranked PvP.
-I consistently score highest points on a team—even as a support ranger. These points are earned from capping points in rotations, killing persons on or near controlled points, and getting artifacts/beasts when convenient.
-I’ve read PvP strategies here and have watched plenty of online video
-I wasn’t carried to ruby by a team->I Solo Q
-I’m often the only one calling out targets
-I understand rotations
-My losses are not even close 80-90% of the time

So, I guess my specific questions are:
Even if I reach a point where my playing skill level is topped out, I should be stuck in a limbo of sorts: win one lose one win one lose two, etc., right?
I think I have a good understanding of the current MMR. If my initial loss streak lowered my MMR enough, I am now paired with other people in lower MMR brackets. So, the more I lose, the more I lose. Is this correct? If so, it’s pretty awful.
I’m being teamed with people who don’t understand simple rotation strategies, and there is only so much I can type in the minute before a game begins. What are some solutions? I know you can’t pick your teammates if you SoloQ. Most often I’m seen displaying “Don’t forget to cap points! :]” on auto.
The only feedback I get in-game is “get gud,” which, to be honest, is as about as helpful as a fork to the eye. I’m seeing consecutive loss streaks greater than 6, back-to-back, for the first time since I started PvP.
Anyways, to clarify, I’m not trying to whine, I know I can always improve, and I don’t expect a handout. Just wondering what there is to do at this point because PvP is no longer competitive for me.

Also, wall of text not intended. Just trying to be straightforward and clear. Cheers!
