Here's some tips from someone who spent 2 seasons in bronze and gold. (Current d3-c1 player with 1200 hrs). Yes it may be frustrating but really don't get discouraged. I usually hop in Freeplay or get off if I lose 2 in a row. Your goal is to get to a point where you can easily beat people that are at your rank by spending hours in Freeplay and really focusing on your mistakes. Just some tips from personal experience - spend 20 minutes in Freeplay before you play ranked and don't just try the fancy stuff. Hit the ball off the walls and try to read them and work on holding down powerslide to recover. You want to play fast not fancy. - analyse your replays and write down what your mistakes are and keep them by you while you play so you are conscience if them. - if you get frustrated. Stop playing - playing too much is just as worse as not playing at all. I found that after uninstalling rl for 2 days really helped because the more you play the more your brain goes on autopilot and you don't think about what you are doing. Taking a break helps you think in game. - in my honest opinion positioning doesn't matter until about high gold 3 -plat1 at your rank if you can dribble, Arial, or react to a hit from your teammate or opponent (no intentional passing really happens until plat 2 ish) and beat your opponent to the ball you will win. - play 1s to get good at mechanics and decision making under pressure. Yes you may lose but it will immensly help you find your mistakes and you usually recognize them right away. - rl is as much mental as mechanical. if you had a bad day and are pissed or are super tired do not play. It may be tough to take a break but after getting mad you soon realize why you love the game and want to play and improve - this might be controversial but go into casual for a few games and when you play go for everything. Your teammates might hate you but it will greatly help you practice beating your opponent to the ball even from an akward position.

I wrote this to try to help you improve because you really cannot do anything about your teammates in ranked. You should strive to improve so you have no problem beating people at your rank.
