I need some help here.

We see threads here every day where people complain about not climbing because their bot lane goes 0-10 or their jungler feeds when ganking and all that. Now these threads are not entirely without merit. The rampant feeding that goes on in typical ranked games is plain disgusting.

There are people in Platinum, Diamond and so on. So it is possible to climb, I'm not disputing that. That's not what this thread is about. What this thread is about is what high elo players usually say to low elo players complaining about feeders, which is to get better or carry.

Now, I've been trying a couple things. Better CSing, counter building, map awareness and I've largely improved on these things but the one thing I cannot over come is the feeding. I've been trying to climb back to Silver before the season ends and if I had a couple more weeks, I'm 100% sure I'd make it as I've done Bronze to Silver twice already but I need to be able to do it faster, which means more wins.

After thinking about it, my number one problem is that I don't know how to carry feeders. The amount of games where I get a team that just feeds continuously is far too much to facilitate a fast climb. I wanna learn how to overcome this but the problem is, I can't figure it out on my own.

My question is if I post a replay of one such game, would any higher elo play, from say Gold or above look at it and tell me what I could have done different. I can't figure this shit out on my own. I need help. Would anyone be willing do to that ? It'll probably be a short game since these kinds of games tend to end very quickly, so it shouldn't take too much of your time. Thx.

EDIT:

Here is an example of the kind of game I'm talking about. i was Kayle mid.

It all depends on the role you like playing most. I'm one of the few people who main support, and I think that's what got me out of bronze and silver. I wasn't able to carry, but I was able to prevent my ad carry from feeding early. But even if you don't like support, you can still take champs that help your team overall. Take a jungle champ who provides more cc. Try to give kills to your teammates, not yourself. If you're top, take teleport and communicate with bot or mid to get a ward down far enough to cut the enemy off. If you're mid, try to roam. But make sure your teammates want or are ready for your help.

I honestly think it's about helping your team survive. It is a team game after all.

Thanks for the reply.

I think you misunderstand what kind of game I'm talking about. The games I'm talking about is where every single lane is feeding kills by the minute. I'm talking about games where in the time it takes to walk from one lane to the next, 3 kills have been fed to the enemy team. Your advice doesn't work for such teams. They feed on average a kill per minute. If this happened once in a while I'd have no problem but it happens too often. Your advice works for games where we are a little behind, maybe like 10-15 or something and perhaps one of my lanes is doing ok or at least not feeding. I'm not talking about these games. I'm talking the worst of the worst here.

EDIT:

Here is one such game. This team fed 52 kills in 30 minutes. They were feeding so fast, there was barely any time to respond to anything. I get a lot of games like this.

Holy crap! Yeah that was not what I thought you were talking about.

Is it intentional feeding or just unskilled players? If it's unskilled players, there isn't much you can do but offer advice. Ward here, buy this item, stay back by your turret. You know, that kind of stuff. If it's intentional feeding, it's all about preventing the player from getting upset. If he needs ganks, offer to come to his lane when you have a chance. If other teammates are egging them on, try to stop them.

Like I said before, this game is about helping your team survive, and sometimes that means you have to be the glue that keeps them from falling apart (even emotionally).
