"If you're really good enough to be [X] Division you can just carry yourself there."

...and other lies you can tell yourself to make you feel better about the wallowing pit of scum and infamy that is solo queue. Countless games I've gone 15+ kills, 4 or less deaths, most damage in the game by nearly double, most gold most KP most damage to objectives most... etc you get my point, and it's unwinnable because my team likes to see that we won one good fight and then do the exact opposite of what won us that fight and slowly but surely lose us any lead we might had had dying 1 by 1 by 1 to stupid obvious cheese or baits or just thinking that even though theyr're 3-9 that teamfight we won means they can 1v1 the 10-3 enemy carry.

You can do damage. You can take towers. You can smite steal baron. You can shot call. But you can't make your teammates not idiots.

And that is why solo carrying in solo queue doesn't exist, and hasn't in several seasons. Little Timmy No Brains doesn't wanna get left behind in bronze all by his lonesome so they need someone there to keep him company, whether they like it or not.
