When you see both your Support and Jungler pick a squishy don't pick some carry top yourself
Pick a bloody Tank.
I myself main Top lane and if your champion pool's as shallow as most GURL Gamer's personality you shouldn't be playing one of the roles that define the way your team will be playing the match.
Hell, I main Mordekaiser, a NO CC, barebone utility Juggernaut and the definition of a melee Carry. He's durable, got a ton of damage but literally no utility for his team.
You know what I do though if I see
and

being locked on my team?
I pick
or
All my damage won't be enough to fill the gaping void not picking a tank might leave you with.
Besides, playing tanks can be extremely satisfying as well. Take Nautilus for example, the guy literally has TOO much CC
Spammable CC, mind you if you build him like I do (

)
And you know what? You can deal decent damage yourself and be a huge factor in your team's victory.
You don't always have to be "THE Carry", sometimes you just got to think and know what to pick to really help out your team. If everyone would be selfish pricks you might end up with a team that'll chain feed because they want to be that SoloQ hero
Just saying, playing Tanks can be really fun and if you lack a decent frontline/CC/Engage/peel winning becomes a lot harder if you don't outright snowball.
Just thought that needed to be said, especially after my last ranked game where the enemy team consisted out of four squishies
