What do you do if ur team never groups and always gets caught

I never get caught, i play intelligently, i win my lanes, i cs well, i typically ward more than jungle mid and top combined, its blatant i dont belong where i am. But time and time again i end of having to 2v5 a massively fed team under inhibitor turret. I also try telling my team to stop going out so far but they just flame and say "stop telling me what to do". How do i get out of elo hell?

you see, there's just a big luck factor to climbing the ladder. some people do better than others but are still lower ranks. thats just how it is. i would say, depending on your skill, you will always be at maximum 5 divisions away from where you belong. so if you are plat 2, you might belong in diamond 2 or in gold 2 or anywhere between that.

this means, since you are like in silver 2, you MIGHT belong somewhere in gold but most likely not higher. sure, its frustrating but trust me, silver is one of the nicer leagues to play in.

It's your fault. If you want to climb you have to realize that everything is your fault. Are you top lane and bot is feeding? It's your fault you didn't teleport to help. Are you adc and mid is feeding? It's your fault for not roaming mid with your support. In Plat and higher bot always roams mid with a strong support like Leona.

Your problem is that you're not playing with your team. You're trying to shot call and tell everyone to play passive. When your team engages they're missing you. If you want to escape elo hell follow your team and do your best to impact the team fight. Pick someone that can help win team fights like Sejuani.

the biggest thing i can tell you, is that you cannot win every game. no matter how well you play you can still lose the game.

People in higher elo still make the same mistake that you're suggesting but they are more aware of it and alot more apologetic when they do.

If you want to carry the game alone, I suggest you pick a carry role, like mid or top or adc. Jungle can work also tho but it depends on the type of jungler you're playing, don't main support in low elo cause no matter how many assist you have your team mates will always have more deaths, but do learn how to play support so you don't feed bot lane.

and last thing is that you need to learn the game in terms of strategy wise. Its hard for me to list all of them cause it very situational and there's alot of them. The best thing to learn strategy is to watch higher elo players that know the game and know how to teach it and learn from them. (i recommend trick2g) The 2nd best is just experience.

Learning the game will go really far for you because it can help you reduce the amount of loss on your team if you know when to split push, how to control objectives. how to position and how to focus, how to group, team comps, how to initiate/dis engage and a whole bunch more.

good luck man and again remember you can't win every game

This drives me up a wall as well. I swear sometimes my team is comprised of blind lemmings.

Riven "O, my team shan't carry me! I must splitpush and lead them all to me, and I will 1v5 and carry this trash team!"

It's impossible. even at the higher ends of the skill gap, players are still individuals with their own opinions and strategies about whats going to win.

Just remember that it's a team effort and try to support your allies as best you can. Communication can also help, but it can backfire as well - I generally try not to communicate in ranked until I'm doing well, as more people will listen to me in that scenario.

You hone your mind control powers to force your teammates to do what you want them to. Or make threads complaining about how much better you are than your teammates and how you totally deserve a higher rank. Whichever.
