Carrying ranked games can be a problem.

If you have a massive lead, it just seems like your team seems to just throw. I was 10/0 for about 23 minutes in my last ranked game but no one seems to listen to what I want to say. My first death came in the 23rd minute when we were in a team fight I was constantly telling my teammates not to go into. Yet no one listens, it's really frustrating when you are trying to warn people when they are going to throw but they just seem to ignore all the pings. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1680567363/214201503?tab=overview this pretty much can describe what happened. The question that I am asking here is, what do I need to do to win?

Alright I'm gonna start by saying I'm not good, but I got from Bronze I to Gold V in 94 games as a jungler, so I know exactly what you're going through.

I don't think you'll like this answer, but it's the truth. If you're better than the people on your team and on the enemy team, you can carry the game. This game in particular looks like the fed people on your team got too confident/cocky and threw, it happens. The thing is you don't gain elo by doing well in one game then using it as proof that you can't carry. You need to get your teammates/yourself that lead every game, some games the teammates you get fed aren't that good and they'll fail to carry you and more often than not, they will.

The thing about low elo teamfights is that hardly ever is someone actually doing what they're supposed to be doing, but if you are, or at least more right than them, you can make a bad fight into a good one. If you try to dissuade your team from a bad call and they don't listen, go with it, it's better for everyone to follow a bad call than to have half the team doing one and the other half doing the other.

My rule of thumb is if I make any mistakes in the game, I can't blame anyone but myself for not winning. If you don't see any mistakes, look harder, they're there. Try to apply your mistakes from the last game into the next and try not to do it again. You really don't need an amazing team to gain LP, you just gotta work on yourself and it'll happen. Also, I recommend you keep trying with J4 ;) he can do wonders, and he's simple enough where you can focus on map movements and objectives instead of difficult mechanics.

Edit: Camping bot or mid is your safest way to victory, they influence the map and teamfights the most. You can sometimes pick up easy kills top if they don't have flash or if they overextend, however.

the logic here is that if you deserve to be in gold... you have the skills of a gold you are better than everyone around you you should be able to carry yourself out of silver or bronze or watever and reach gold

if ur a silver in silver, where all you can achieve is to do "good", "not lose", or "pull your own weight" it is not enough, all that shows is that you fit exactly where you are... not losing does not equate to winning

thats the theory atleast... dont exactly agree with it

That game seem to be a good example where an Darius takes to many kills. Lategame he kept getting kills & probaly reached full build early without having the tools todo something with it. Meanwhile Draven was clearly struggling in the botlane. And I also notice that Kassadin lost pretty hard against Zed .

With that cs on Kassadin he was probaly the one that was splitting the entire game and I don't say that's an bad thing. But why the hell would you do that if almost every enemy champion on their team can 1v1 you. He was not even close to a point he would been able to 1v1 an Tryndamere or Zed . Teamfight was kinda your only option since you would never been able to win a splitpush fight. You didn't had poke so sieging was also no option. This was clearly a situation where you could see the limitations of your comp.

You only option was to go for a pick on Jinx or Warwick that probaly didn't end that well.

Clearly mistakes where made what I noticed was that Warwick had about the same impact in the game as you. But he managed todo that with more cs. So you basicly filled eachother out. So it was all on Darius but that's a champion that will fall off lategame.

I think you should have focussed a little bit more on counter jungling. Clearly Warwick could take ganks pretty easy despite the limitation of his ult. Besides that their was nothing you could do to win that game with the limitations of that team comp.
