How to solo carry? (good advice from good players please)

I used to always see challenger streamers smurfing and winning 19 out of every 20 games easily in low elo

Assume I'm a good player. How do I solo carry 1v9 a team that has no idea how to play the game. I don't mean feeders, I mean people who genuinely don't have a single clue about game knowledge or map awareness, have no mechanical skill, don't know when to fight etc.

I feel like riot intentionally stacks my team with bad players, especially after a good 2-3 game winning streak just to fuck me up, and I don't know how to play if I can't work with my team.

What champs do I play? What play style do I adopt How do i convince my flaming mid laner to stop trying to fight? How do I get my team to listen to me? Etc.

fyi i won 7/10 of my placements and got placed silver 4 (meanwhile you can lose 10 and get silver 5)

to clear some things up:

I'm not just a salty silver I've had plat level MMR on other accounts in ranked (was gold)

I mean SOLO CARRY, not just get fed, i mean literally win the game by myself without any help from my team (aside from the mid pressure they give by araming)

My mmr is currently high silver low gold and it's very rare i get a person on my team who is actually good

I can only dodge so many games when my team picks the worst possible comp and we lose in champ select (aka no cc, high damage assassins in every lane against a high damage enemy team with point and click cc and a decent frontline)

I don't have a whole lot of champions on this account, but I can play pretty much every jungler and I can learn how to play any midlaner

assume the enemies im facing are around low gold-plat level (they're not play but assume i cant just pick assassins and fucking dominate them b/c they can actually play around that)

assume my team are all bronze 5 and it's up to me to win the game by myself, if that means 1v5ing, or solo base racing, etc

I assume that all the tips im gonna get are either: get good, ur bad, don't get tilted, just play ranked 24/7 on tilt to negate the effects of 5 game streaks with fresh lvl 30's, play to improve (can't improve unless i make mistakes), or anything else

would be nice though if some diamond smurfs or something could tell me how they can solo carry unwinnable games

I either get such an insane gold lead that I can just destroy anyone 1v1 or 1v2 and split until I think I'm ahead enough to just dominate a team fight if I use my team mates properly to soak up abilities.

The game feels more difficult to solo carry but I think some common tips are:

  1. Play jungle and be aggressive (invade enemy jungle etc) cause at low elos most laners won't leave lane to help their jungler.
  2. Ward for your lanes (just putting an extra pink for one of your lanes can be really helpful and keep a positive attitude in-game).
