Stop playing, simple as that

I stopped for 4 days and it continued
Swap roles, you’re subconsciously making mistakes out of frustration due to the loss streak.
Just swap roles or take a break for the day.
The matchmaker is not plotting to force win or loss streaks on anyone.

I played both dps and support mostly dps
First, accept the fact that you’re going to have losing streaks.
Next you take a break if you lose 3 in a row. Many times you will come back to the game and lose some more. Breaks lower the potential of that happening.
They even experience this in GM. It’s basically like gambling but your play can “put it in your favor,” so-to-say. You can still lose even like that though.
Ok, well if you’re on a loss streak, it happens. Bad luck exists.
But you could also be making mistakes you’re unaware of. Positioning, too aggressive, poor hero match ups, that kinda thing.
I catch myself being too aggressive at times for example so i force myself to slow down and play safer and i will start winning again.

Sometimes swapping between roles and/or modes will give you a break from losing. But once you get that “bad mmr” for whatever role/mode you keep losing on there is no shaking it.
You have to realize early on after you get 2 or 3 horrible games in a row that the MM is expecting you to carry these impossible games with bots on your team and it will not change until either you change or you drop 2000 SR and actually can finally 1v5 like it expects you to.
The only solution is play like a bot yourself. You don’t have to make it obvious by afk or jumping off the map but just play your worst hero and “try” on it for 2 or 3 games. This is usually enough to “reset” your mmr so you can get equal value teammates again. People will call me a conspiracy theorist but I have been in winner queue for about a month using this method.

Take a break, straight up. I always stop playing after 3 losses in a row. It could be the game is giving you really bad teammates that day or it could be you in general not playing as good as you think. Either way, taking a break can go a long way to both your mind and body. The more losses you get, the more frustrated you are gonna be and then you will start making more and more mistakes followed by more losses. This causes you to get toxic because you will get triggered for anything that doesn’t go your way. The best way to play this game is to literally play when you feel relaxed, you will be amazed how much better you are gonna play when you are relaxed.
Here’s what I do if I am on a losing streak or at least try to prevent a big one.

After every game do not immediately queue for the next one. If you queue up for one too soon, chances are you will pair up with some of the same people from the previous match. Sometimes the people from the previous match already know your hero choices so they’ll counter you almost immediately. Other times they will snitch to their team about your hero pick or if you are a toxic crybaby so they know to hard target you.

If you play the game enough, you can tell which days are the bad ones. For me it’s usually Friday night - Saturday night is the worse time to play Comp. I figure it’s due to people being off of work and school. During this time you either play a different mode or a different game entirely.

If nothing else works then refer back to what I said about playing a different mode/game. As a gamer, it’s always good to have a few games on rotation for when you are bored or need to take a break from a previous game.

Accept that the nolifer scum on your team were either throwing or not as good as the nolifer scum on the other team. Aspire to be on the right team of soulless bio-robots who carry actual players to their well-deserved wins.
Or just uninstall the game and mourn the sad people still thinking to have fun in this shambling shell of old entertainment.
have you tried winning?
You can’t. It’s rigged. If you have several more wins than losses, expect to go on a losing streak until it “balances”. Even if you leave those games, it will put you in more loss games until you get the losses over with.
Party up, playing with randos will get you to low gold at best. Its the way they balance it.
It happens even when partying up. It’s how the game is made.
You can outleave the matchmaker’s attempts at forced losses.
You have to leave the lobby your in once you notice it start to happen. Switch game modes, or take a little break for a couple min before you requeue. It’s no guaranteed win, but it does put you in another pool of players who might play a little better than the last pool.
And even if you end up in the same pool, at least you took a little mental break, which can help.
I’ve tried in the past. I would leave stomp after stomp after stomp and it would keep putting me in them. Brand new people on my team, veterans on the enemy team, over and over and over. If I stayed and got it over with, then I would be allowed to win again, and my team stomps the enemy instead.
I’ve had the matchmaker try to put me on a stomped team about 8-10 games in a row, but eventually if you just keep leaving once you see throwers and noobs on your team you will get normal matches again for a little bit.
