All Pick is horrendous for getting your MMR up in my experience. Might be the source of your problems.

I dunno what kind of games you're playing but you're gonna have "dumb" allies even on page 1.

Just improve your own play and dont focus on others...

AP is fun! You always get to pick a hero that becomes effective quickly, has no reliance on teammates and isn't afraid of anything. Bring out that qop/pudge/nightstalker/whatever you like the most :D I think it's a very effective way to get your MMR up. Trying to play RD/CM forces you to rely on your teammates to do their job. You might also get forced into a role with little impact. That's not good if you're significantly higher skilled than the level you're queuing at.
(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.

Isn't that how he makes money? He streams and has people play with him to get their MMR up / give lessons?

? All pick is best way to get up MMR, just master a limited pool of heroes. I got consistently on Page 1 when i queued for nothing else than Juggernaut (solo offlane), Omni (solo offlane) or CM (supp), Tree (solo offlane), Zeus Viper (mid) etc, all 40+ games, 60%+ WR (tree is 82% lmao, Omni 68%)

Nowadays however i just random all game every game and play at a slightly lower level, else i'm screwed anytime i must get out of my comfort zone (see my 0-3 TA, 0-4 QoP, 2-8 Lycan, 1-8 Wisp, 4-17 Sylla, 1-6 Dusa ) and feel bad

I also mute trade spammers and people that refuse to listen to any criticism. I don't really care if you're not a good player, just that you are willing to improve.

Basically my ignore list becomes a ban list from my groups since I can't hear their replies.

I played only All Pick all the way up to page 1 before (solo queuing).

Dunno then. My game quality DRASTICALLY improved when I changed to only playing RD and more recently I added in SD and AR in. My main account finally ground up to High level games and my newer account leapfrogged straight up to playing in Very High.

All Pick games always seemed to result in even worse lineups than AR games as a general rule. All carries, every game.

ye me too, but "2man stacking." (duo queuing) I dislike playing Dota alone. Could be doing something productive, like play with kittens or ride my bike down a pool.
