Winning Lane but Losing Ranked Games - What should I do?

Now, I'm not saying im good. But for my elo im okay like compared the people i play with). In my elo there are a lot of feeders and it feels like theyre always on my team. Early game it's cool, I usually win my lane and go for ganks on other lanes, but lane game they're all fed out of nowhere and I couldn't do anything about it?

An example is just recently I was playing ahri mid against a twisted fate. It was an easy lane for me. I out-farmed him. Neither of us could get a kill on each other because we were pretty equal in skill. TF kept using his ult to get fed on other lanes, whilst i tried my best to go for ganks, but god, my team would just stand there farming as i ganked their lane. So I won my lane early game, not relying on any ganks whatsoever (Not complaining, I think it was a good idea our jungler focused on top and bot.) ; We lost top and bot ofc. Twisted fate got fed, Their top laner got fed, Their bot laner got fed, and our jungler wasn't snowballing lanes whatsoever so only her and I were average in kills. So we lost obviously. But i mean like what was I supposed to do in that situation? I ganked more than my jungler did lol. And I had a few successful ganks too. like I did everything I could to win the game but my team weren't doing anything.

The ranked ladder doesn't reflect individual results. If you're a solo queue player like me cuz all ur friends are feeders, then it heavily relies on who you get matched with...... now before you all flame me saying a ladder reflecting individual results would get abused, I'm not saying riot should just change the system into ranking you based off of your game score. I'm just saying this system isn't at all accurate. If anyone has any theories to how this can be solved, maybe we can discuss in comments?

I mean that's why there are gold players out there that deserve to be in bronze, and bronze players that deserve to be in gold. I don't think this ladder reflects how good you really are at the game ;p

Much love xoxo

On the grand scale of a whole season, individual games like that are pretty much irelevant, as it falls in the 40/40/20 rule. You will automatically lose 40% of all your games because you got four monkeys in your team, and you will automatically win the other 40% of all your games because the monkeys wound up on the other team. I know it doesn't feel that way, it feels like you are always the one to be stuck with them, but that's just basic human psychology where were better remember the bad stuff than the good. What matters are those last 20% of your games that are left over. In those games, your skill will be what matters and what will bring you victory.
