How to win with bad teams

you have two options. either you learn how to mechanically carry the fuck out of anything, whatever that entails. or you learn how to pilot random teams, which might actually leave you less sane than the first option.

I get that

My team goes 30-5 in S3

When I get your promos my team always goes 15-30

With me usually goin even or ahead

I'd honestly just say take a champion that can split push well and 1v2 with a decent lead. Ignore most teamfights since something will end up going wrong. Just focus on objectived rather than kills.

Title? i wanna climb, but it seems riot doesnt want me to

I know my BIG issue is not warding enough.

I'm a Top main currently and I get very tunnel visioned on pushing my lane. I out trade my opponent consistently each game, have imo pretty good wave control for my elo, know how to zone, and I play champs that can exploit Demolish.

I 90% of the time forget to ward and get ganked and worse yet, camped.

My point here is to focus on your own playing so you can at least be in a position to carry.

How to win with bad teams

You don't. You just wait for the RNG to be in your favor and play VERSUS the bad teams. That's s9 for you in a nutshell.

TL;DR at the bottom.

Bad teams are generally about your teammates ego. If you treat the good things they do that seem so basic like "good cs!" or "Good warding. Keep it up" it feeds something that they will invest into. They have someone notice something they did in a positive way and will work hard to keep doing that. Make sure you are playing well, which to people with big egos means NOT DYING.

If they can't lash at you with a "3/4 mid laner gg", then that'll help them respect you. Sure, you might have gotten ganked by your teammates lane with jungler help 3 times under turret, but they won't care for that. That leads to the next point: Respecting your opponent.

Respecting your opponent is a massive mental advantage. All of a sudden you avoid places where you don't have a solid understanding of where they are. You only do things you know will put you a step forward. Don't know where the jungler was recently? Ask the team. Still don't know? Don't engage because he could be sitting in your side bush. Once your ahead, a failure becomes a critical failure due to shutdown goal and boosting the enemy moral. Respect them the longer the game goes on because late game can be a victory or defeat in an instant.

If your bad teammates don't have good map awareness (i.e. not pinging missing lanes or having objective awareness) make sure to ping an extra time in a non-aggressive way and maybe even type MIA or where you're going. Ping help on them once and then the objective or location you want them to go to. Just one on each. The ping on them immediately tells them you want their attention and then they watch for where the next one is. DON'T PING MORE THAN ONCE ON THEM. Maybe twice where you're going based on urgency.

TL;DR Treat them like short fuse ego babies. Reward the small successes and YOU learn from their bad ones. Make communication AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE. Respect your opponent by playing as if they are always equal and potentially even better, cause they could be.
