Trying so hard to rank up but can't.

Hello,so I've been having this problem for quite a while.I try to do my best to get out of iron but I am stuck in iron III and sometimes even IV.I won't say I am a pro cause I am not,of course,but I've seen my teammates will either feed or won't be in the team (they'll go attack solo in jg and die).When I play ranked,I usually pick champs I know better.I sure have bad games as well,like everyone does,even games I died many times into.There are times when I really try to save the game but can't.AT LEAST one of my teammates will pick a champ that has 0 pts with and will try the champion in a ranked game.After playing,when I lose I just can't stand it and sometimes I am about to cry because I am so so angry.What can I do??I try so hard.Am I that bad to be matched with teammates like them??How can I improve myself playing if I am that bad??

If you are better than your current rank you will naturally climb since the enemy team is more likely to have more bad players. If you are good, your team has 4 chances of bad players, the enemy team has 5. Looking at your games, you really need to work on your cs. Always work towards 10 cs/min. Kills might look fancy, but 10-15cs is basicly the same as a kill. Also when you are given support, buy the support item. You loose so much gold not buying it. The other thing is vision. You rarely ever buy pinkwards and dont use your ward trinket very often.

you are right about the farm.The reason why I try to have more kills on my lane,is because I kinda suck when it comes to farming.Kalista makes it a lot easier to farm,but need to work more on it.The reason why I buy non support items is because I see my adc not willing to be in the game,so I get nervous and buy offensive items to deal more damage to enemies...I don't trust my adc when they don't get the kills I try to give or when they don't listen to my pings and die...Ik that sounded ew but I usually can't trust my adcs...What mostly happens,is my adc chacing the enemy with lower than 50% hp and no minions just because the enemy has a little hp left and then my adc dies because of the minions,turret,or even the enemy.When I feel like staying under my turret,I will...sometimes I feel it's too risky attacking that time and I say ''stay back'' until the next lane of minions comes,but they don't wanna wait and then if I die to save my adc they won't run back,they will go attack and die.You are right I don't use wards as much...I try to do it...With kalista I always use my W.I never use pink wards cause I forget about it.One more thing I do wrong,is forgeting about things in game because I am too nervous.I try to moderate it.Again,I am usually insecure in the game if I don't play with kalista or ahri...Thank you so much for your reply.

The ap support item gives you damage and more money to buy more damage though. There is a reason people played it on sololanes. You are describing why your teammates are bad, that wont help you improve. Also about beeing nervous, its a game, noone will judge you for loosing but some random people on the internet and who cares about them.

I will start buying more supportive items and I really try to moderate the nervousness thing :( but why am I more often matched with players who feed or go afk or do nothing?This is what I don't understand..

You most likely arent, but dont realize when it happens on the enemy team. If it happens on your team it hurts you so you realize it. If it happens on the enemy team it looks like you are doing great, so you dont think its cause of a enemy feeding. I dont mean to say that you are only good when the enemy feeds or that you think badly, its just a human way of thinking.
