How do you carry a toxic team?

Is there any way at all to carry a team that blames you for every mistake? Is there any way at all to carry a teammate that says "DON'T FEED OR REPORTED" and then proceeds to go 0/5? It's the most tilting thing ever when you lose a match where you stomp your laner and gank other lanes, but they either flame which holds the team back, or they simply give up and "ff or running it down mid".

Also, a side question I was thinking about. How do you turn a won lane in to a won game? It feels like I win lane almost every game I play whether I win or lose, no matter who I play. Akali Fizz Kennen Yasuo It seems like some games no matter how much I roam it isn't enough to give that lane an advantage. Of course most games it does, but i'm talking about the few with teammates you cant carry.

So, what is the best way to carry any team? Whether we have toxic teammates, we have an afk, or a 4 man premade that wants to surrender in my promos (which makes me want to drink bleach whenever this happens!).

Let me just add (because I know someone is going to say this) I know I am not the best player in the world. I can't carry every game. I know I can't win lane every game either. In fact, sometimes I am the one that feeds which is the reason my team lost. This isn't one of those "MY TRASH TEAMMATES ARE THE ONLY REASON I'M IN BRONZE" posts. I know complaining doesn't get me anywhere which is why I am asking for help.

It just feels like ranked is too much like gambling atm. Instead of entering games hoping I don't feed, I am entering games hoping I get nice teammates that know how to play the game. And if I don't, well... there is always next game!

Anyways, back to the topic. What is the best way to carry any team? Some people tell me "Do good in lane and eventually you will be winning more games than you will lose" and i'm not saying that's bad advice, but the last thing I want to do in my ranked matches is rely on the chance that I get good teammates. As always, answers are appreciated.

first off let me say based on your attitude alone.. i don't think you will be bronze for much longer. the first step is knowing what u can and cant do and u seem to already have that down. You cant win every game, your not going to. don't be put down by that.

and while i don't play any of the champ u listed so i cant help you with tips for them. Keep your attitude the way it is...

here are some general tips if you have feeding teammates.

first off, do NOT insult them. if a player is feeding (in a ranked game) they are probably already on tilt and raging.. try to complement them when they make a good play. or even and "ok" play.

2nd.. although getting better yourself will allow you to carry bad teammates easier, that takes time.. and in the meantime focus on trying to keep your teammates from feeding. like i said before don't say stuff like "if you don't feed i can carry". say things that a player can do to get better like. "darn, guys i am vs Katarina, keep an eye out for when i ping mia, and try to play safe if i do"

other small things that can REALLY help is to keep your eye on the map.

many players in bronze dont use danger and mia pings and also have bad map awareness, if you can spot a gank coming towards them and u can ping it they are a LOT more likely not to die.

and unfortunately you are going to have some games where you get a completely idoit support who doesn't by a item 2049

and although it IS goign to put you behind in damage by doing so, purchase the item 2049 yourself.

one of the biggest mistakes player on losing team make is just walking out blindly...

you cant stop them from doing this.. but if you can recudes the amount of placed where they can blindly walk into. then they are more likely to notice that they are walking into a 1v5.

and also.. PING i have said it before to watch the map, but most lower elo players will blindly follow any ping given to them regardless of how smart or stupid it is. if you are the one pinging the correct objectives, it help you tremendously (as long as u make a good call)

Honestly if you just want to climb elo a bit chance will get you up a division or two. But if the adc is literally screwing around and your arent fed. Just split push while they trade kills. No use initiating when team just leaves or following up at disadvantages and pointless teamfighting when your waves are pushed to their inhibs and your team is beyond saving like 3 teamates below half health and other team is actually grouped right and teamates already caught out
