No one decides to upgrade their trinket, at least on my team.

There was a total of 57 wards placed and I was responsible for 34 of them, that's 59% of my team's wards. Now I understand that I am the support with a sightstone but you can't be serious.

In a 39 minute game, my top laner and mid laner sat on a yellow trinket the entire game. If they are constantly warding every 2 minutes keeping it up that would be ~19 wards placed. Instead they had 7 and 5 wards placed. People need to understand the importance of wards. It's sad to lose a game because we have 0 vision because I can't keep up with the vision game.

tl;dr People aren't warding enough and this is why people are getting stuck in crappy elos.

No. People get stuck in elo hell because they constantly complain about their teammates instead of focusing on what they themselves could do better.

I know exactly what I could do better. But this is a team oriented game. I am only contributing to 20% of my team's overall effectiveness. No matter how well I play it is almost impossible to carry a game as a single person.

I am only complaining because it's annoying that no matter how well I ward I can only have a limited amount of 4 wards.

Ah but you would be one of those people saying Afks trolls noobs every game but then say you are only 20% when you are 1/4 which is 25% instead of the usual. EDIT: You can have a total of 4+3+3+1 wards (inc pink) but can only place 3 of sights and 1 pink, if you have that many wards why do they have to have them :P

I can only have a total of 4 wards on the map.

I am not one of those people that says there is "afk trolls noobs everygame". But to be entirely honest that is another discussion. 4v5s are never fun and quite frankly stupid. Due to the fact that you are getting punished for an unfair game.

To be entirely honest the malphite pick was rather stupid. Malphite is a counter pick not a blind pick.

I thought it was because they give up within 10 minutes of the match starting because the enemy laner has 2 kills.

I think if people knew about champion's power spikes then they wouldn't just give up within 10 minutes. The only problem with that game was that they had 2 late-game hyper carries and just another late-game powerhouse. We could have only won if Trist was able to spiral out of control. But even then one hook and we would just lose our base.

Honestly wards would not have helped that game. Cass was dominating from the start and with the exception of 3 of Nidalee's deaths, all of your teammates died next to turrets (their own fault or a full on dive by the enemy).

The point wasn't really whether we lost or not. No it's more so that vision could have vastly helped us win.
