I just don't know what to do when the whole team feeds

My last game I was Garen top. I took my turret, killed my lane opposition 5 times, ventured into mid and bot, and took dragon. I don't remember what time it was that they surrendered, but we had 31 team deaths and only 1 of them were mine. A LOT of my games seem to go like this. I think I can only think of twice in the last month that I actually lost lane, but I am constantly trying to (unsuccessfully) prop up an entire team. I'm seriously considering only playing with premades in the future. Can anyone offer any advice?

If you play a bruiser/tank and only have one death while your team has 30, the problem might be that you aren't actually tanking anything or helping your team.

Step up your sportsmanship. I've seen plenty of dead silent teams get ripped apart because nobody is willing to give advice. No one is willing to chat. The best way to success is to rile your team up and keep them upbeat even in the voice of obvious defeat.

Playing with premades you know and trust is a good idea, but everyone has bad games. Make sure the people you play with in a premade have a history of being nice/non-toxic, and a history of not feeding/trolling/giving up at minute 5.

Honestly, it's unfortunate that this stuff happens. It's happened to probably everyone before. The thing is, if truly did bad that game, then they probably don't deserve to win the game anyways, it would only tell their brains that it's okay to make those mistakes because they'll win regardless. (which is a bad habit) Of course, always try to carry as much as possible, build items that can directly help your team or hurt the enemy team, push towers with wards, then back away unharmed before they can gank you, etc. Also, giving them some advice if you see something that you know a thing or two about is a good idea, but be careful. Even if what you say is 100% constructive, they could take offense. I usually only give advice to my team ingame if I 100% know what I'm talking about, because I don't want to sound like someone who thinks they know what they're talking, but doesn't. For example, I might give advice on something support or adc wise because those are my mains, but I probably wouldn't give advice dealing with a top laner, because I have minimum experience in that role.

TL;DR Be constructive, be friendly, and do your best. After all, if your best effort isn't enough to carry the game, at least you can walk away from the game knowing you tried your hardest and that you are not to blame. Also, be sociable, I've made awesome friends from simply saying positive things all-game before.
