League of "blame everyone else"

I am in the silver elo (bouncing between S3-S5). I cannot stand this elo, not because I am some elite player but because people at this level seem to be completely delusional. I main jg and I can't count the number of times a lane will push the enemy to their tower only to be ganked/killed over and over. Who do they blame? The JG naturally, any wards? of course not. I recognize the importance of counter ganks but I have to consider the possibility of a 2v2 and a likely loss. I played support morg last night and the mid ahri lost her lane miserably and tried to roam bot and failed. Who does she blame for the loss? The support who "doesn't know how to engage"... Sorry what? I fully admit I have a lot of things I need to work on (hence my elo) but it seems this is a rare trait in the silver elo hah. Last few games I played reasonably well and lost http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Poenacanuck . The only champ I have a decent winrate on is Nasus... lol. If anyone has any tips I am all ears, constructive criticism is welcomed.

Thanks!

I read a post a lot like this from a fella that went over to LAN server, got to diamond, then came back and said everything below diamond on the NA server is just as you described....they blame everything but themselves

League of no one taking responsibility for their mistakes and playing the "y u blame me" card.

Fixed that for you.

Yea, meant as a joke...but kind of serious. If I say something like, "please don't chase the tank into the unwarded jungle", I get a response very similar to, "omg dude u suck stop blaming me for losing". I'm sorry, but if you are 0/10/2 while everyone else is playing decently, you actually deserve to be blamed for the lost. Could others still have improved? Of course. I think that is where people get really confused. They think that if you can improve, the game can't be placed on someone else. If LeBron James goes out and shoots 0-21, or Tom Brady throws 6 interceptions, they are pretty much going to be the reason their team lost. League is the only competitive thing I have ever been apart of that has this mentality. People have this absolutely stupid idea that 1 player should have a bigger impact on the game than the other 9 players combined. If they lose, well fuck doesn't matter how well you played, it just means that you can't carry and deserve to be at that elo and all you are doing is blaming your teammates. Literally makes no sense to me.

Yep we are on the same page. A little frustrating seeing that 0-8 Riven push to their tower again without warding and then blaming jg. "JG X has ganked 10 times, worst JG NA".
