Supe unlucky or just bad

So I'm winning quite a few games and I'm on a decent win streak and I get to promos into silver. I go 2-2 and then the third game I'm winning lane super hard and our whole team gets fed. We had over 20 kills more than other team but my team wouldn't push. They didn't do anything.

I say push they go raptors I say don't go in, wait for me and they go in 4v5 and lose the game Hell I even told them to buy mortal reminder to counter Mundo and they don't

I ended up doing most damage to champions and turrets out of both teams.

If you can't find the game from my match history I went 14/7 on Sona

Is this just really unlucky or what the hell do I do? How does this kind of game happen in promos? Am I just extremely unlucky or just bad at the game. I get that everyone has unlucky games or bad games every once in awhile but this is ridiculous.

And I get that I should be trying to improve myself and fixing my own mistakes but I think it's still ridiculous that this happens to me....

People in lower elos tend to not think very highly of ppl who take the role of the shotcaller, only because they think they know better. I know it's hard to shotcall, even harder when your team just doesn't listen at all, but like I said, this problem is almost exclusive to low elo.

So you're telling me that it was just kind of unfortunate and unlucky that this happened. And I know being low elo player that I'm not 100% right all the time but I'm at least trying to make an effort right?

No, that's not really what I meant, let me clarify:

I meant that ppl in low elo don't care about your calls. I recommend avoiding shotcalling, because it's just a wasted effort. Imho if you're low elo, there are very basic things you are not doing properly, like maybe farming, looking at the minimap, warding, basic laning mechanics, etc. You have to work on these before you try to make calls and organize map movements. Trust me, you will not need these to climb out. You just need to work on cs, mechanics, and watching the minimap. That's literally enough to get you out even from silver. Then you can start making calls, and take on leadership.

I mean I get that there's obviously things to work on as a low elo player but generally speaking I'm playing well compared to my friends who are of course higher ranks than me. And not only friends but randoms as well. This was whole thing probably sounds completely bronze lol. Besides the basics I don't really see anything else that can be improved upon.

I have a principle about ranked in general. If you can't get out of a certain rank or elo, you belong there. This is especially true for low elo, because it's the easiest to get out of. When I started ranked, I was hard stuck silver. I always complained about my teams, and how bad they are everytime. Then I understood this very easy thing. From then on, I could focus on my own gameplay. I've learnt to farm better. I've learnt to dodge skillshots. I've learnt to watch the minimap more often. Suddenly, my rank skyrocketed. I went to gold with ease, then in 3 days, I've made it to gold 1. that was in season 4. I went all the way to diamond in saeson 5 and 6.

The point is: there is always something to improve on. Once I realized that, there were no obstacles anymore. I played game after game, win after win. I'm telling you this, because I can't actually help you get better, I can only talk about my experience, and how I succeeded. I just feel like most low elo players haven't realized this yet. But once they do, they (and you as well) can improve on their own.

Like I said everything I'm saying probably sounds bronze af. But you're just repeating everything that I've been told already. But thanks for quick replies :)
