Feeders or int feeding?

This is a rant. It's just something I wanted to vent out. Anyways, I started to play rank this season and I got placed in the somewhat lower divisions. I didn't mind that because I could always climb back up. I played several rank games and I main support, but I can fill if it was needed. I noticed that my rank games contained at least 1 or 2 people feeding their lane(s). I'm a support role, so I can't really game change like a hyper carry Vayne can. Anyways, I'm just wondering why I'm getting these "feeders" on my team. If you take a look at my match history, I think I did pretty well on my end. My two recent rank matches were especially infuriating. I played Jhin and had a support Annie. We dominated the lane and went to help mid. Turns out the enemy Lux was like 4/0 before we could even help our mid laner. Long story short, our Vel'Koz was 4/13 by the end of the game. Next game, I decided to play the jungle role so I could help and snowball lanes. We had a "Katarina main" and erm...she fed the other Yasuo many kills before I could help. I was busy helping our Sion deal with the Nasus because we wanted to prevent him from farming. He got so fed that we couldn't even 2v1 him. Again, long story short, Yasuo carried that game. My final score as Shaco was, 19/9/5. I would like some advice and why I'm getting these sort of teammates. Keep in mind that I try to encourage my fellow teammates instead of flaming them. Thanks.

It's hard to argue that someone is intentionally feeding unless they're giving up kills every 30 seconds or they are announcing it in chat. But this seems to be a common thing in my rank as well. As a Support Main, I've become a Zyra Main in the current meta. Her ability to defend the bot lane parties and her ability to marginally carry even with support items, she has become a safety net for me with how "flip a coin" the drawing of team mates seems to be right now.

Bear in mind that it is the start of the season, and many higher elo players have been pushed downward. They will typically crush most of us on their way back up to where they belong. As much as that sucks, all I can really recommend is playing sparingly or sticking to normals for a few patches until the rankings normalize.

I'm a feeder, but I don't intentionally feed. I just want to play tdm is all. I play pvp games to fight, not farm minions. If I die, so be it. The mmr will put me where I belong.
