Why does this game offer virtually no chance of making a comeback?

I'm just going to start off by saying that OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE A COMEBACK. But the thing with that is it's dependent on other lanes doing better than yours or getting that one player who can carry your team.

What I'm referring to and this is especially true for the bot lane, is that you die once and it's 300-400 gold to the laner depending on if it was first blood. and 600-1000 gold to the bot lane depending on if it was a failed gank and or if it was first blood.

So let's shorten this a little bit. You're mid lane and your mid laner is Zed who starts item 1036 he kills you and gets a few cs with that kill and backs because chances are he almost died from a duel. So he's back at base and comes back with item 3134. You're still stuck with item 1056 or item 1052 or item 1027(for the champs that use a lot of mana). Now at that point it feels like there's no coming back unless you get a gank from your jungler which sadly I find rarely happens now.

Ok now let's go bot lane. the situation is that you and your support die to the enemy adc who then gets 600+ gold and comes back with item 1038 while you're still stuck at item 1055 or item 1037. Now it feels like there's no coming back because now the enemy ADC and support no longer feel the need to play passively.

Ok Now top lane. Your laner comes back with item 3044 and the same thing. You feel overwhelmed and your lane is the easiest for a jungler to gank so now you just want to play passive under tower losing cs and your laner is always ahead.

On top of all this you're getting harassed by your teammates for doing bad so you have to mute. Your jungler has already decided to join in on the harassment and decides that you're not worth ganking so your lane is now getting pushed in to tower. In about 10-15 minutes game time you lose first tower to the top laner. Now your top laner decides to either roam or keep pushing and since you don't have a tower, the enemy jungler can now gank you with little risk at this point.

All this wouldn't feel like such a burden if I didn't get harassed by my teammates. Who somehow think that a losing a lane=inting?

Ok now I decided to go play aram because the rift isn't working out for me. I've had 5+ game losses and maybe aram will set me right, right? Nope the enemy team has all poke champs like Ziggs Veigar Jayce Varus Nautilus and your team is something like this Annie Alistar Akali Darius Blitzcrank.

Maybe I'm just looking at this from a negative point of view, but this game just seems to get more un-fun the older this game gets and the community is already subconsciously trained to think that everything you say is negative. It's like you go 2/6 and someone on your team is playing a champ you know very well how to play and what to build. So that person build something odd and you go"hey nasus why are you building static shiv?" And then he says something stupid like "2/6" as a way of somehow justifying himself? and thinking that mentioning score is a winning discussion?

You can come back. It just requires that your enemy team has the worst player in the match.

That's really all that matters. Who has the worst player.

In a 5v5 situation sure. But even a bronze 5 player with enough peels can still be useful.

Unfortunately. Unless they push so hard that they pretty much win in the laning phase.

playing pre lvl 30 normals has taught me the reality of this game

whoever has the autofilled feeder botlane loses, end of story.

The only comebacks I had were when the enemy team were beginning to make stupid mistakes, like a Zed trying to solo catch the Xayah when the Veigar and Rakan were right next to her...or when they were so daffy as to let the Jax get powerfarmed.
