Please help. How do I carry harder?

This basically sums it up: I'm in bronze 3 and have failed my promotion series to go to bronze 2 two times in the past 2 days. So understand I'm tilted out of my mind, but of course want to keep playing. I just lost the second game of my 3rd try at these promos going something like 22/5 on Lucian adc. This experienced Zyra and I stomped bot lane, Kalista was 0/7 at a point. But, Leblanc mid (our team) is 0/2 against Anivia, Rammus top is 0/3 against illaoi, and graves jungle is 0/2 against yi jungle. Obviously we have no drags, their Kalista just farms each lane, leaving me to take care of her so the team fights and dies. I try to balance team fighting and holding top and bot. However, their yi, illaoi, and Kalista (who gets fed off of our Rammus and graves) are taking inhibs not and top. I may have just gotten unlucky, but this happens way too consistently. I've been told by a plat friend that my mechanics are definitely above bronze and in silver, and that my team fighting is okay. Which begs the question. What more can I do to sway the game. I've tried top lane a lot, but I end up having to play Malphite or something and when the team feeds, even if I'm 4/1 on Malphite or fiora, I can't carry. Next I did jungle. Udyr, voli, and yi. Yi I get separated from team (who has fed) and we lose. Voli I carry one lane but overall we lose late game. Udyr sometimes I win but same story. I rarely get mid with the new system, even though I always choose mid adc, and mid is the only role I reliably carry with. Lux 10/0 case in point, easy carry and we won. I play ezreal and Lucian bot lane. When I go ezreal, we might stomp early, but they have malphite and sion so we get stomped in fights. I have lost hope in climbing as I can only play so many games a week while managing school. Please provide any advice you may have. Thanks for hearing me out.

My only advice to you would be don't play when you just lost a game.

This especially goes for promo games. If you play after a lost game you will carry forward some frustration and negativity with you. This will effect your game play.

Infact never play two promo games in a row. Even if you just won a game, don't play another ranked game immediately. Go fool around in a normal blind draft or ARAM.

Time for scumbag advice. Find the worst player on the enemy team and make him tilt. If your a jungler camp him. If your midlane... camp him. If you're not doing this then you are letting a less skilled player than you beat you.

Second advice, Don't gank losing lanes. They are losing for a reason and they will get you killed. This is especially true if they are 0/3. At that point ganking is suicide. Also if a laner on your team is 3/0 they don't need your help.

Thirdly use smartpings. Type important information in chat. Communicate. if nothing else your teammates will respect your opinion more just because you are treating the game more seriously.

Its simple really, you focus far too much on indivudual score from what I can tell. You are trying far too hard to be the carry, which will very likely end up turning you into a major factor of a loss. If you are that fed and lose, then there are problems not just with your team, but with your own play style. You need to take charge, issue commands and hope pepole follow. If you call good shots, they are more likely to listen.

You also did not mention CS at all here, CS is far more important than kills. This is not team death match, if you focus on kills and wonder why you lost, then there is your reason. What about map pressure, objectives, and momentum? It sounds like you lose your momentum heavily because if your that fed early game, you should be taking objectives and towers.

Hows your vision control? Do you bother placing wards in the right area, or attempting to deny vision? Even as ADC you should be getting a pink or two, and dont forget to use your trinket.

How is your team comp? Do you even have synergy with the rest of your team? Do you have an understanding on how well champions work together and what each champion is capable of? Is your team an all in comp? Is it a disengage comp? Is it a poke comp? Did you pick master yi in the jungle because you wanted to be the carry when you actually needed a larger tankline with more cc? Did you go ap malphite with yi in the jungle and annie on support?

Also, stay away from ezreal, yi and any other high skill cap or glass cannons until you understand how they work and what to do with them. Instead of lucian, go tristana. DO NOT TOUCH VAYNE. Dont build udyr like a glass cannon. Consider counter picks over playing what you wan't and keep in mind team comp.
