What can I do to fix this issue?

I was unsure of posting this in help and support or gameplay and balance, so I figured I'd try here first. Anyways, so the last two matches I have gone in, my team has lost. Not by a lot, but regardless, we failed. Do I win every game? No. So then, why am I so shocked you may ask? Well, it's complicated, but here goes nothing.

First game - I was Karma Support - Ended with a KDA of: 4/2/12 - The rest of my team died at least 5 times each. Yep, 5 times.

Second game - I was Morgana Mid - Ended with a KDA of: 7/5/21 - The rest of my team died at least 7 times each.

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with one primary issue I have noticed recently

When I join a game, I do everything I POSSIBLY CAN to ensure that MY lane is AT LEAST HELD. I don't even put forth a goal to WIN it, but I at least make sure it's held. I feel as if it is a duty of mine, if you will, to protect my lane, and I thus expect it out of everyone else as well. Why can't everyone else do this? I understand that, every once in a while, you're matched up with a counter to you. Okay. What's your point? Is it a foreign concept to play safe? Look, I don't want to sound like an arrogant jackass, nor do I want to sound like this is always easy to do, HOWEVER, I LEGITIMATELY do not understand why people (and by people I hold all the rest of my team-members accountable) can't play safe! I was a Diana once in top lane, versus a Darius! http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1751276704/220306178?tab=overview Look at my final score. I won my lane, regardless. You wanna know how? Not ganks. I didn't need my jungler to camp or anything like that. I simply needed to PLAY SAFE. EVENTUALLY, I was able to very easily destroy Darius. He was actually provoking me by calling me a pussy, it was mildly entertaining when I then proceeded to dash to him and win ;). My point is this - I am having a major issue with those who cannot hold their lanes whatsoever, due to the fact that they CANNOT play safe. It determines the end result of the game, and I absolutely hate it when I can predict a win or loss prior to even hitting the fifteen minute mark.

In summation, I ask this: If I were to do ranked matches (which I haven't even really attempted to even finish my provisionals to enter ranked yet), could I at least expect to fight with people who can HOLD their lanes? I'm totally fine if they don't push, hell they can stand at the turret and dance until the cows come home. But can the people in ranked matches AT LEAST hold their lanes?

P.S. - I'm not flaming, I swear! I apologize if I sounded rude, but this is a serious problem (at least for me) and it hinders my enjoyment of the game. Looking inevitable loss right in the face just destroys the fun for me. Feel free to leave any comments or responses (Please be constructive :D). Am I the only person who feels this way?

Dunno. I've had games where I go 0/0/0 for most of the game, but have 2x-3x the cs of my team mates who have 5+ deaths each by 20 minutes. Yet these same people are in chat flaming each other for their own mistakes. I may not have any kills or assists but at least I'm fed from farming and not dead 30% of the game. Usually I have a low score like that because somebody fed the enemy jungler + their lane opponents and even if I think I can take my enemy in lane, it's not worth it without knowing where the other 4 enemies are (can't because no one wards or upgrades their trinket)

People don't know how to play defensively, especially once you get wrecked early on.. they want to go back and try to kill the same people that just slaughtered them. I'd rather a team mate sit their ass next to the turret and not farm/not die if it means they can at least hold their lane long enough for the rest of the team to get fed.

Another horrible thing is that people are unwilling to switch lanes, even if it would lead to a favorable outcome for everyone. This is mainly why I prefer to play jung/support, as I can go where I'm needed most of the time and help those who need help. People forget it's a team game, not a free for all. If you let one of your team mates suffer, you all suffer. But yknow they gotta get their kda up right?
