When being worth 2 of 3 enemy carries isnt enough

I just played a fabulous game with some really crappy teammates. I was at three-five deaths and almost 20 kills for a large part of the game. 75% kill participation. I am writing this post because I am frustrated. I played a really good game. I dominated lane and was generally worth two of the three enemy carries in every fight, but it wasnt enough. I cant outplay their entire team. Im tired of playing in one sided games. Im tired of carrying people who are so clueless. I want to play with people who I feel like are playing with me rather than against me.

I would try to go split top bc I had opened the base there MUCH earlier (was the first time I had a chance to go back bc bronze shenanigans) and Im just typing in all chat be careful and pinging the little yellow ping bc i am the only person worth a damn on the team and they are going to die if they fight without me. Then all of a sudden my team which is grouped catches lee sin out. I know he was caught out bc if the rest of the team had been there he would have gone in and murdered everyone immediately.

They literally just followed him around and did that stupid back and forth thing we all do right on the edge of his vision. For like 30-45 seconds they did this while i pinged them once or twice to leave. But they didnt. They gave the enemy team all the time they needed to move into position. And then? and then? Go ahead guess what happened

Then they turned around and fucking hit the dragon.

Like one person was fighting the dragon solo for a while and almost died and then my whole team comes in and drops wards in all the wrong places and fights the dragon except for one person who wants to switch to the fucking crab...he was the first to die I think because then gnar and leona and kalista and lee sin just come out of exactly the spot my team just walked away from and left unwarded. Its just complete annihilation.

Seriously. All they needed to do for most of the game was show up under tower and clear waves. Just slow them down. We had two tiers of tower between the enemy and our inhibs and we would have had their inhib in like 2 min if I had any time to split.

Dont even get me started on the teamfighting. This was our typical teamfight. I basically have the enemy teams full attention, bc everyone on my team does nothing. I have half the kills on my "team", the fewest deaths and am tied for third in assists. Out of 37 kills, I participated in 29 of them.

Everyone knows my teammates dont even matter. Ive got two enemy carries zoned off and its really a 4v3 + a 2v1 off to the side, but my team stands inside of karthus circle and focus tanks over and over. Im throwing my q. throwing my q. Staying safe. kalista and lee cant commit because of me but it doesnt matter. my team is focusing leona and gnar inside of the karthus circle. and they r dying. and getting wholloped. and wallstunned. and karthus is almost untouched except for the mf ult. And then basically they r all dead. Except for shen who was doing circles somewhere in the middle of lee sin and the gnar, leona, karthus deathball.

I am left with shen, everyone else is dead. And the enemy thinks its in the bag. But its not because im fucking righteous man. Perfect ekko ult. 3 passives popped. I die anyway bc leona is not dead yet and and karthus is undead.

This was like the basic pattern. I kill 2 or 3 people but I cant cant 100-0 karthus and when he does eventually die he still has his ult, which does almost half of my hp. Yes i did build mr.

I have no idea what strategy I could have used. If i go for karthus I take a ton of dmg and he cant even be bursted so its still a 5v5. If I go for lee and kalista, I can zone them completely and then kill them after a time, but karthus just is untouched in a 3v4 and is wrecking everyone on my team. If i split my team will just fiind a good place to die while accomplishing next to nothing.

The only way we would win this game, given the skill of my team, was if they had just sat under turret and pushed waves back while I split push. I actually got them do do this for one wave. One time. They cleared the wave and the enemy backed off. HUGE VICTORY. NOONE DIED. Of course this immediately led to a 4v5 team fight and a 4 for 0 trade. They cleared the wave and then walked out from under the tower and just died there.

I guess that the urge to grab defeat from the jaws of victory is just too strong. I guess that successfully clearing one wave under tower gave them the confidence they needed to try and hunt the enemy down in unwarded territory. It was so perfectly bronze. They cleared a wave and I made it halfway to top lane. Im running top and just pinging yellow, pinging protect tower, pinging red ping. Then double kill. Then more red pings and mf just walks through my pings. Two people are already dead. What does she think she will do? She literally only has time to drop her slow and then she is dead. Shen wants to save the day. Triple kill. The tower is dead before I can even finish backing.

The point is that I destroyed karthus in lane. Destroyed him. Snowballed. Pushed all the way to an inhibitor at 20 min or so. I was awesome. But I was only one player. The second I got into a position to do anything but throw q, they would react to me. It didnt matter that in almost every fight I zoned off two carries, lee and kalista and usually got 3 kills. You cant solo carry this game. I dont know why every game feels like an unfair situation. Even if its unfair towards me in a good way. Why does it always seem like one team doesnt understand this game? Why cant I just play with people who will listen to a yellow ping? Why isnt being worth 2 of the enemies three carries in a fight enough to win?
