What do you do if you're constantly held back by teammates?

I don't play carry champions. I play support champions.

No matter how I play the games are completely coinflips. I cannot make enough of a difference as a support like Morgana to carry people who repeatedly make idiotic decisions.

So how am I supposed to climb?

the fact that you're supporting has nothing to do with it. if you're that much better then your lane opponents you can make any adc fed.

in fact because you're not the one actively trying to CS you arguably have the third best map impact behind jungle and mid.

Play duo queues, low elo has too many unwinnble games where your lead doesn’t matter, its sickening but stop playing solo and you’ll get sone consistency

You can check my opgg and still see that my mid lane games are fucking coinflips.

Look at my adc/support scores in all of those losses.

And then that one pyke game was fun af with the 4/0 diana running everyone down 5 minutes into the game.

So infuriating how these players were last season plats/D4s and they still play as if they’re damn silvers.

Trying to be consistently good is the best we can do, but it doesn’t make this bullshit any fun.

get a premade. reality just is, ppl have bad days and good days. bad moods and good moods. bad and good mindsets. there are so many random factors. if 5 bronzes have a great day, they could beat 5 plats that have a real shitty day.

get a premade, allows for good coordinationif youre both in bot.

By improving your own performance

I dont mean this personally...but step one is to change your attitude. Not trying to be toxic...if you go into every game feeling like you're not able to contribute shit, that's just a self-fulfilling prophecy. If its any consolation, so do I. It's the same reason why I wait forever before playing my placements - I personally feel like this entire playerbase loses like half their fucking IQ at the season start, and after like a month or two, they MIGHT have enough of it back that I can play a game without a 0/8 inting ADC shrieking to report me in all chat for not constantly standing on top of the enemy laners instead of walking behind my minions when im on CD. I do not deal with the initial start of season well, because imo, NOBODY does. Start of season, and like last 2 weeks of season, are imo the most toxic fucking games ever, and I do not play nice with people who dont play nice. I dont need another account ban.

Step two...sort of depends on what roles you play, and honestly, what your rank typically is. From what I can gather, you play jng/support, right? Sorry for snooping on your op.gg >.>

I'm not sure where you typically fall in ranks, so I'll use myself as an example. I run either role in bot lane, mainly...I don't personally like BunnyFuFu's streams...but I don't deny his skill at the actual game. Sneaky and Aphromoo are still fun to watch. I say all this because as much as I hate watching worlds itself (competitive play is much, much different from solo queue) I do feel like watching these people play in solo queue enough helps you to sort of get a glimpse of what you consistently screw up on.

The rest is just practice, and praying to the Riot Overlords they don't match you with iron 4 in a gold game, or match you with Nubrac's "support" Teemo. >.>

Play better.

Everyone once in a while ImaQTPie plays support and still maintains his winrate in challenger, where people are hit-scanning the pixels of your character model for their skillshots and people are ghosting your game IRL with spy-cameras.
