I have no control over the outcome of my games

i play

I really feel like I have absolutely no control over the outcome of the game. I don't play to climb but rather to better myself. But how am I supposed to carry when in low elo people tend to hard feed instead of playing safe after a couple of deaths and when riot just buffed the hell out of snowballing? So i just shrug off games where it's a stomp (on both sides, i don't' like being carried as much as i hate hard losing a game) But that's the problem, win or lose, i feel like i have no control. I read a post where they said that 40% of games are a win, 40% are a loss, and 20% you have control over and you decide the outcome of the game. but that's the problem, I haven't had one of these games in a long time. I know i still have a lot to learn, but how am i supposed to do that when i have no room for agency in my games?

Sadly, with the direction league has gone in, the games are more often decided by the worst player in the lobby rather than the best.

none of us do. games are decided by the matchmaking algorithm.

that the point. you can't control a game by yourself. it a team game. what you can control is yourself. no one telling you what to build, how to play, what to do, nothing. that is all you. in this cesspool of flaming players we all make our own choices. if someone fucks up that is their own fault. not the junglers, not the enemy, their own fault. if a jungler doesn't gank that is their choice. nobody is forcing them to gank. regardless of what people say, making our own choices is not reportable on it's own. someone being an asshole in game? that is their choice. nobody is forcing them to be an asshole. you want to report someone in game? that is your choice. nobody is forcing you to report them.
