Not every game is winnable unless you're smurfing extremely hard(think masters+ smurfs). The reason people tell you to do this is because if you consistently outperform your laner, you will climb. You won't win every match, but you will climb.

Also, there's something you could've done better every game, so it's best to focus on what you can change and what you can improve on.

Here is the thing though. You can't control your team the only thing you can do is focus on what you did wrong. No matter how well you did 20/0 there is something you did wrong in that game. It is a team game so you should atleast attempt to try and cooperate. If They don't want to might as well try to play around them if ya really wanna win.

Its a team game means you do not treat it as a 1v9. In what world is not just ignoring allies completely but treating them as opposition considered teamwork?

Focusing on self is to add to what you bring into future games.

The goal is to turn the single Non variable slot on your team in all your games into a positive.

100% of people who play this game have to deal with what you describe. The only difference between players who have a high rank and players who don't is the players who have a high rank aren't the ones causing the problems until they reach those high ranks.

Everyone gets these games regardless of rank. You're the only variable that is mostly stable in every one of your games. Your opponents have these team members in other games, they have afk's on their teams, etc. Yes, its a team game and you have to rely on your team members in some ways. You can sometimes hard carry a game, but its not realistic to expect to win 1v5 in every game if you're playing at your elo. If you want to be more consistent, you focus on yourself. There's more to a game than KDA, you also have to think about team comp, objectives, matchups, when to fight, where to position, when to apply pressure, when to farm, etc. You can't control everything, but you can at least analyze what you should be doing. Matchmaking is going to try force a 50% win rate in all your games, so that 50% lose rate is going to give you teammates that might be on a lose streak.
