    Genuine question, no bait, but (how) can a single person carry a team against five (potentially) skilled players? Even if you are good, 1v5 seems unproportionally difficult to me? I'm sure some incredibly good players can do it but I don't think this should lead to the conclusion that those who can't do it/overcome the matchmaking RNG are not good at all in turn. There are many people who may not be exceptional but are still skilled nonetheless.

    Also, would you say you can carry on every job? Because personally I have the impression that some jobs lend themselves better for carrying than others. So even if you are good (or even crystal-worthy) on a job that has little carry potential you might be stuck if your team isn't strong?

    And if your answer to that would be "just switch to a carry job" then I don't think this is a satisfying solution because first, you could be terrible at "carry" jobs (e.g., I am terrible at AST, but some non-carry jobs feel very natural to me).
    And second then your original statement would only be semi-true because it would indeed mean that there are some jobs that can't carry and are much more team-dependant (hence if your team sucks, you'll go down too) if the solution is to not play them.

    And I'd also like to add that switching to a job for practical reasons would make ranking up purely about...ranking up. And while that is perfectly fine and may be the goal for some people, other people might see little value in it if they have to play many, many matches on a job they don't enjoy. The result/high rank would not justify/balance out the lack of fun the ranking process itself might be under those circumstances.
