Why are People so Bad in Bronze? And, why am I punished for having an Unskilled Player on my Team?

As you can see from my match history, I don't play badly, recently went 18/2 as Jhin, an exceptionally new champion against those that have owned previous champions for awhile. I outmaneuver my opponents, win my lane, swipe the enemies turrets. Even if I do all of that, ONE PERSON, yes, ONE PERSON, ruins the whole game for me because they feed their opponent to no end. They should purify the current match making system and make it based on your individual skill. Before you blast me, I know this is a team game, I know I should go over and help others when i'm fed, I do that. But those people, trolls, afkers, feeders, aren't climbing with me, so why should their performance affect my overall statistics when I'm in que? It doesn't make any sense. We, as players, shouldn't be punished for the faulty plays of others, but the plays we make ourselves. If I lose because I have an unskilled player on my team, it shouldn't affect me just because they're on my team and I should've "helped them out/gave them advice." I want a damn good reason why this god forsaken system punishes those who are the light in the darkness, the ones who do well when others fail. No smart ass/"git gud" replies as well as "Hurr durr play X, or just main y."

KDA is not what winning is about. I can go 10/0 in 5 minutes but if the other team works together better and focuses more on objectives my kills dont do anything but give me gold. Try to focus on split pushing and controlling the map. Also pings are extremely helpful, even something as simple as pinging a tower when the enemy team is nowhere near it can get your team to work together and get the turret.

Warding helps out too. Even if you're not the support, just having some wards in river gives you information you and your team can use. You have a ward on river and you see the enemy jungler heading top? Give a warning ping. If you guys are getting ready to do dragon? ward around the pit to prevent steals. Trinket wards are free and cooldown based, blue wards are still awesome and never underestimate the pink. Ever.

As much as I dislike the system of LP currently. I can't think of any other way Riot could make the ranking easier/better for players. I dug myself a grave at the moment because I duo queued with my Bronze 1-3 friends and one low silver friend. Which in return we ended up losing a lot and tanked my own game despite doing well in my own position, but I couldnt get them to do what I needed them to do in the game to win. Sadly everyone deals with someone/full team that is less skilled than a individual, but we have to deal with it unless some godly idea happens at riot for displaying skill to make it easier to climb, but as of now it seems we have to deal with it. As for playing, i've learned that at all levels(yes even bronze) if you manage to put down vision in a location the players on your team will actually use that to their advantage, but if you are the only one warding, try to place your wards at keypoints(I personally still would want green wards back, but you know..). If you are doing well in a game and you arent giving up deaths to boost your KDA. The odds are your team will listen to you if you call something out on your team(as long as you are doing good, for some reason players at lower ranks listen to the best on team). If you are playing someone who can engage don't be afraid if your team is ahead and if they are right behind you pull the trigger on that engage and start some fighting. Otherwise split pushing if you are ahead is extremely effective at lower ranks, mainly because they have to send one or maybe more to deal with you and that usually ends up with your team pushing because they have to deal with the fed dude pushing his heart out. As the guy above said. Pink wards are your friend.
