All they want to do throughout the entire game is fight. The only objective you'll see them go after or contest is the dragon. They'll get a kill in their lane, and go to another lane for another kill or immediately recall, rather than pushing minions to the tower.
It's hard to climb when 3-4 of your teammates have this "feed me and we win" mentality.
And god forbid you say anything about it, you'll be labeled as toxic and reported.
Just focus on playing better. Leading by example is usually more impactful than leading through words- if you're making good decisions, they'll usually recognize it.
Toxic and reported.
Take towers yourself then?
They're getting so flimsy that I push them down as Soraka Support. I've taken so many towers by myself lately.
One effective split pusher can be a headache for the winning team, and can sometimes turn the game in your teams favor even if everyone is behind.
If they knew how to properly prioritize and take objectives, then they wouldn't be in Bronze or Silver.
Don't believe me? During two of my placement games, two Platinum junglers--Master Yi (me) and Nidalee (an ally)--died during our first clear to a buff camp without the enemy jungler interfering.
Anyways, if you want to climb through the lower divisions, I would recommend playing two types of champions.
The first would be tanks and fighters with good CC (i.e. Volibear, Gragas, Amumu, Nasus, Nautilus, Irelia). Durablity and crowd-control is extremely useful for teamfighting and are commonly lacking on lower-ELO teams.
Honestly, too many people insist on playing carry champions like Master Yi, Tryndamere and Vayne, leaving teams too damage-focused and lacking utility or a decent tank. It's honestly quite easy to carry games as durable tanks and fighters since many people don't know how to properly kite or focus them.
The second would be seige champions. In my experience, people will constantly group around objectives in Silver; both teams will converge on an objectives and spend a couple minutes facing off against one another until someone gets caught. Champions who can poke or engage/disengage during these periods (i.e. Varus, Ziggs, Gragas, Corki, Morgana, Lux) work extremely well in these situations.
