So how do I deal with feeding teammates? (not a qq, looking for advice)

I usually play midlane and I win my lane 95% of the time, sometimes I win hard, sometimes only 15-20 cs ahead but no kills (I still consider it winning lane tho). But then, you know, you get that botlane, or the toplane, or both, dieing 2-5 times in lane. Okay, I get it, it's soloq, it's the game. But how do I deal with that? I try to communicate with them, being nice but not too much, but they won't listen it, they won't respect the fact that they are weaker than the opponent and will keep skirmishing/teamfighting/greeding on a couple cs. How do I deal with that? I usually try to roam, stall, farm up, catch opponents overextending, but it's not enough. Am I missing something? Or when I'm into such games I have to accept it's lost, and start over? <- I hate to do that, I play the game because I enjoy playing, winning or losing doesen't really matter (ofc I like to win but it's not the point)

I'm playing in low gold.

Don't wait so long to roam. Other than that sometimes you just have to get more fed than the enemy team. So if you are 15-20 cs up or x kills, be the guy on your team that gets fed out of control. Similar to the guy on their team.

We all know the answer here, and aside from babysitting/following them, you really can't do anything. You can warn them and be like "hey, ____ is in that bush" or ping, but that's it.

If your winning 95% of the time and still in low gold means your not carrying your games

Take your advantage of your lead to help other lanes snowball and get leads You don't deserve higher Elo if you consistently play with that mindset it's always your teammates are at fault when it's mainly you who is at fault

realize you are bad and that if you were good enough you would be able to carry most games because nobody holds you back. (if people did elo boosters and high elo players wouldnt be able to do what they do) Do what I did, realize you suck, blame yourself, get better, carry everyone, get high elo, profit :D

The truth is this. Not every game is winnable. But there is one you you do need to do. Take a look at your self and self improve. Just like the guy above me who has been down voted he is right. Elo boosters would not exist if the games are random enough with afk'ers. I have personally won 4v5 and 3v5s in a solo que rank setting my self. I do not think i am god but i do know i tend to give up sometimes and not play as hard or as smart as i should. When i and fully committed and playing at a 100% 99% i win those games. Now i'm not saying this happens all the time because some games are not winnable.

The best advice i can give you is dont feed the troll stay to your self report them at end of game and keep trying. Climbing Elo is a grind nothing more nothing less and if you can't handle the grind stay away from it. It can stress you out and make you want to quite the game. Just keep your head up high and keep trying to self improve :) That is all my friend.
