I WISH I could solo carry, but that is physically impossible when you're practically alone in skill

Like what the fuck am I gonna do when my jungler hits that point when I realize after their 12th consecutive death that they're never going to remember they have item 3715 summoner 11 while fighting 1v1?

Or when the support dies for the 8th time in a row once they land an engage right into the enemy meatgrinder with nothing but their item 3117 and a item 1031 ?

Or when the ADC picks 1st-time Irelia botlane and forgets they have summoner 14 and never ults anything no matter how clumped up they are, opting instead to only use it if the enemy is face to face with her 1v1.

Or when the toplaner has fucking Tryndamere and doesn't know how to fucking ult ever while running away from a 0 CDR Teemo who's blind just wore off.

It is not possible to carry if something is deadbolted to the floor, you gotta unscrew everything holding it down first before you can even attempt hefting it onto your back and there just isn't that kind of time in this game.

Just get better. Carrying feeders is really the only way to win reliably. The trouble is, getting that good. It's is possible to carry a 0-5 mid, 0-4 jungle, and 2-15 bot lane but the truth is, most of us will never get that good so we must rely on having a good team to win, which can be ok if you're playing for fun, but if you're playing to climb the ranked ladder, forget it. You'll never get good teams enough times to climb, which means you must dedicate yourself to becoming a god at the game.

I think it's super easy for diamond + to carry- cuz hear me out-

In bronze/silver they're just so far ahead in skill of their opponents it doesn't matter what their team does. They counterpick, they outtrade, they outCS, they outmacro, they win.

In high gold they start being able to use higher elo macro / teamwork strats, and in plat they can start to vaguely rely on their god-tier play being actually played around.

So they can carry in any elo and say, "if you're good at the game, you'll carry! No sweat!" And it's true!

Just, it's only true if you deserve to climb a LONG WAY! If you deserve to climb a little way it's going to be a struggle.
