What more can I do to actually win games?

I feel no matter what I'm doing in league I'm losing games due to other bad players, whether its constant feeding from someone, a person going AFK, or people going for kills when there is a exposed Nexus and everyone is fighting around it rather then actually winning. I'm always looking at ways to improve my game as much as I can and refining myself to get better, lately I've been doing a much better job of keeping tracking of enemy junglers, invading and taking away CS from them safely. I play to win games, want to get objectives, but I feel most people in low elo do not have the same mindset and just want to fight fight fight and thats it, I'm feeling really stuck in this game right now and want to go up higher in my elo. I even looked for a comparable jungler in someone like Jankos to see how he fares in his solo queues, his CS is about the same(3-5 a minute) my KDA is higher(which it should be since I'm in a lower elo) really only difference I see is his Kill % is 12% higher then mine thats it. I would also say about half the games I get are usually first blood to my team as well since I do early ganks almost every game. I stick to about 5 champs now (Rek Sai, Warwick, Sejuani, Gragas. J4) I just wish I knew what exactly more I could do to win games but I feel theres nothing I can do....

Make friends with players join discords, have a close buddy to tell you whether or not youre really good with a champ or needs some work. It's not all about KDA sometimes, more-so about socializing and learning from it. Even being tutored by a higher rank person in a normal game and having fun qualifies as being better. So yeah it's not all about KDA. I joined in January 2017 but I'm Gold 5 at the moment and that's simply because I run my own discord and I'm constantly being tutored. ^-^ https://discord.gg/YBXbyhy Feel free to stop by.

You take Mid Lane and main 1 or 2 mages. They should have strong scaling into late game so if the game gets past 30 mins, you can AOE damage carry.

You go to Mid and aim for positive Thunderlord style trades and try to cheese an early kill with Flash. If the enemy leaves the lane you Ping MIA like a nutter... shove his wave in and hit his tower. Your team should back off and you will gain extra EXP while damaging the tower. If your team mate is stupid or unresponsive and gives a Double Kill to the other Mid than Tough Cheese (you can follow but not if they are playing an Assassin with Ult up).

If you poke him out of lane or kill him... you should look at the map and see if you can make a roam. Compare the CS and the kills on either team across the lanes... Only roam for people who are keeping up or ahead, don't go to a lane where someone is already feeding. If you roamed once and IT WORKED, then repeat it whenever you get the chance. But if it failed... then just don't roam again. Think of it as "the Single Test Roam per game" policy.

In many games you just sit Mid, and build up a large CS/Exp advantage.

Most mages become demigods at 3-4 damage items and can either stand back safely while AOE nuking their whole team from the back (ex Ziggs, Lux, Syndra)... or else run in and nuke noobs 1 vs 3/4 (like Vladimir, Swain, Brand etc)

Some of them can do BOTH situationally (poke and 100-0 burst) like Viktor who is one of my favourites to play...

Late game you just stay alive and keep hitting them with magic artillery until your team hopefully wins.
