Hello, i have currently been demoted all the way back down to bronze 5 (gg) Every game i always have a Really good score but my teammates always aren't "the best". Before you say anything about its me and not my team, please don't. Every game i will get an afk, a troll and toxic players. Or just a team of players who throw the games. I am never toxic and always try to cheer up my teammates, and or encourage them etc. I play ADC and top mostly and do good 90% of my games (at least as ADC) But no matter how good i do i can never carry my team. Also my client keeps crashing and i lost 33 LP! So please give me some help tips or tricks or tell me what i am doing wrong because, i am desperate and just kinda think the ranking system is dumb. Why should i get de-ranked for being 22/12/13 as kogmaw. Why cant we get ranks based on our score? I always felt like that was dumb how some jerk can come in the game and feed or afk or troll and get away with it while i lose my LP and have to start my process over again. Play. Lose. Repeat.

If you really think it's your team and not you, start directing them. Encourage anyone who does well at anything. Remind your team that smart plays can make come backs. And most of all, PING. Tell them where you are going ask for help when you are advancing on objectives. Take the role of leader carry your team not just with your KDA but also with your strategy.

if you're having a bad day, don't keep playing ranked. Let yourself cool off rather than hurting your rank.
22/12/13 isn't actually a good score. The clue is in the 12 deaths. (Also, looking at your match history, I'm seriously going to disagree with the idea that you've got good scores every game.
To answer the follow up of "but I had over 20 kills," the problem is power budget. If you have the good score, and your team is doing poorly, then you are an outsized amount of your team's power budget. A large percentage of the gold is on you, so when you die, you're team is far far more in the hole than it would look on paper. This can literally mean that your team is weaker in 4v3, or even 4v2 situations, depending on the discrepancy. When you are fed out the ass, and no one else on your team is, you have to play more carefully. You can't afford to die. Trading 1 for 1, and sometimes even 1 for 2 ceases to be worth it. Until you've given your team the ability to piggyback off your success and get back into the game, you're too important. Also, when you are that ridiculously fed, DO SOMETHING with it. Take towers, take objectives. CARRY your team. Don't just run around for 56 minutes sniping kills and faffing about. That's not actually playing well. That's being bronze in a nutshell.

While individual games can be the fault of your team shitting the bed, over the aggregate, you are the common factor. If you're consistently failing to carry, it's because you're not good enough to carry and so either belong where you are, or below where you are.

But seriously, remember point 1. Tilting is a bad thing, even if the tilt is external. Get off the bad streak, then go back to ranked. Don't be a glutton for punishment.

It's next to impossible to carry games as an ADC. If you want to put your team on your back and carry the game to victory in bronze you have to play hardcore split pushing Top laners and Junglers. Udyr Volibear can carry you out pretty easily if you know what to do. Check out trick2g on youtube or twitch, he explains how to solo carry really well.
