Would like some insight on my Solo Queue experience!

The link above is a record of a few games I have played recently that I wanted to record the other day. The chart is a summarized overview of game performance with green representing good, yellow for average and red referring to bad. I am currently in Silver 3 and this season is by far the worst experience I've had for solo que with a 43% win rate. I'm not sure why but I seem to be attracting the worst of my elo and it's starting to get kind of annoying. I'm not the best player but I'm decent with game knowledge. A majority of the time I win my preferred lanes early or overall (mid & bot) with the main champions I play, sometimes attracting jungler attention. But I am always on top in terms of cs alongside a kill or more. When I'm fed I also try to roam and help other lanes. When I do lose or feed lane I tend to just focus on farming, team fights and objective contribution. And yet I always keep a positive mindset and try to boost my teammates morale. But recently this season I have been getting a lot of teammates that are just not performing as you can see by the chart. Almost every solo queue game I play now, someone or sometimes two people tend to feed. After dying more than 2-3 times I don't understand why they continue to fight. Then the fed enemy champion wreaks havoc on everyone and affects me as well. I remember the win ratio being something like 50% last season so it was a common pattern to win and lose but now I feel it's different. Last season when I would RANKED team queue consistently I would win or keep up with my enemy laners who were ranked a division or two higher than me. As you can see by the 12 recorded games only ONE game (#4) I had almost everyone perform well but we managed to carry that individual. Now I have a couple friends who are in higher levels who no doubt aren't as mechanically or good as I am (They even admit it themselves). Wondering how they got there I look at their history and they got carried by great teammates, usually one or two with great scores. Just confused on how come I don't have the same level of luck with teammates. Am I just an unfortunate person or is it simply another Im not good enough I have to get better to carry type of setting?

Thanks for reading.

I'd get better cs and learn to play passive when you play a champion that can be easily camped

If you completely mastered a champion you can carry learn how to carry (Ie what could you have done better)

Work on cs trading etc.

Duo with a buddy when your on tilt it's the best therapy

I treat dynamic que as solo que It's either I outplay the Enemy or I'm bad

This whole season is like this "It's either I outplay the Enemy or I'm bad" because you get to pick your fucking role. I play mid. I get mid. I win. IF I manage to lose then its my fucking fault.

It's easy to find a champion pool for every role it's boring playing only one champion. I hate mid but I play it for fun to learn.

Thanks for the tips. I'll take it into consideration. But do you have any advice or info in regards to que-ing lucky teammates? Do you believe it's simply "I have to carry every game" type? Sometimes I just don't want to try hard and carry but go neutral for once and get carried but I feel as if most games since I'm the only one who hasn't fed yet, I have to be the carry.

I hope you weren't thinking that in your 23/6 game. If you are ahead in lane then you are carrying the team, period. Your team's gold has mostly been dumped onto you, you have more damage, you have more durability, your team expects you to be the one who knows what he's doing.

Oh nope I wasn't thinking that in my game. I was trying to carry as hard as I can but my team threw the game when our support tried to ward outside nexus and got caught. It was gg immediately after.

If Im losing and need LP then I use my main champion and try hard

If not I'm just trying to learn a new champion and relaxing (Ie playing defensive and just farming Neither engaging or playing agressive)

i don't always carry every game but I'll contribute to the team anyway possible

Changing your build bc your behind is a good option

Eg. I'm Darius and I'm feeding better off building tank items and be a frontline Then buy more ad items.

Usually I watch and read what you can do with the champion (mechcanics combo and how to lane) then I play it for the first time in ranked

Honestly. you have 3 games there where stats alone tell me you probably should have won and you won 2 out of 3 of those. The rest were at best 50/50 or more likely to lose.

A majority of the rest were probably 80/20 tbh. Major losses around the map, objectives, lanes, etc and oddly enough it happens all between 15 minutes in. Then we were probably down by like a huge deficit and gg.
