You don't need to win 20 games in a row. Ranking up in playlists can certainly be difficult to do if you've played them a ton, but it's usually possible. You just gotta be patient and keep playing. If you're having a bad day, play social or something so that you don't destroy any progress you've made. If you win four games in a row, drop a game, and then win three more in a row, and then drop a game, that's fine. As long as you're winning the majority of your games, you'll EVENTUALLY rank up.
It's super frustrating, I know. I've been there. But find a solid group of teammates who you can communicate with and go in with the attitude that you want to win.
Truthfully, though, if you're trading games back and forth, you're probably just not good enough. That's not meant to be a slam against you. But Truskill is designed to match you with other people of similar skill, so if you're trading games a lot, then you're probably right where you're supposed to be.
You're absolutely right, I may not be at the point where I can earn my 50 yet based on my performance. On a good day, I usually do exactly what you said, win four, drop one or two, win three, lose one, win two.....but on bad days, I lose five in a row, which I always believe to be far more damaging than a five win streak is beneficial.
