Ranked is messed up.

I'm currently silver 3 and I've been trying so hard to get to gold, and i know that i can play at a gold level but the kids i get placed just don't know what the hell they're doing. I get people that feed every lane and by the time i get out of laning phase they instantly kill me and i cant do anything to carry them or help them out because they seem to be so useless and don't know what they're doing to even try to get back in the game. Last game i had a bot lane, the varus said that the braum on our team was bad so he left at 5 minutes level 4. I know i can win these games if i had a team that didn't feed, winning ranked games is not based off of skill to me anymore its based off luck for me, its either i get placed with kids half decent or i get placed with kids who by 10 minutes have given up 4 kills to the adc and a mid laner who keeps complaining about getting camped but refuses to buy wards and stay by tower. I always seem to be on the loosing end too. Does this happen to anyone else? What should i do?

If you are always doing well roam and help the feeding lanes. Also looking at your ranked match history when you say you know that you can play at a gold level I think you are wrong. You are a poor farmer even when you are winning, so you should also work on that. Keep in mind 18 cs = 1 kill. Also you don't buy wards, your trinket is enough to give your team ample vision.

Now I am only gold 5 (and I'm not even that good) but I average about 100 cs more than you when excluding jungle and supports on our 7 most played champions. Which mathimatically is about 5 champion kills and an assist.

Just looking at your most recent match history, your CS is pretty bad and your KDA isn't that great either. While I will admit KDA is NEVER a good indicator on how "good" you are as a player, it does show something. It shows that you die a lot, even in games where you seem to get a win OR loss, your KDA seems to be roughly the same. If you really know what you are doing, you should be playing safer and not actually be getting caught out and/or blindsided so much by the opponent if you are actually better then the people you are playing against.

As for your CS, it feels like you barely break 50 per 10 minutes, which is very low. You need to farm better so you will have more gold so you can get more items to do things with. Also I'm not counting your jungler matches because while it is true that those games I feel have better CS scores then your laning games, how well you CS as a jungler is more dependent on how well your team does which allows you to farm your jungle. Work on CSing and knowing what your opponent can do.

While I don't think this option is available to you, but you can practice really hard and get good enough to dominate someone easily 1v1. If you are able to get a kill in 2-5 minutes of the game starting in a 1v1, it will raise the morale of your team and also snowball you ahead of them. IF you get the kill early, outside of some HARD camping/zoning from the jungler, you should easily hit 6 FIRST then be able to kill them again. This requires more knowledge then I think you currently have, but if you can pull this off it would help you rise. Try to specialize on one champion, as mastery over one thing will allow you to do better in rising then a generic understanding of everything.

Right? You get fed but they blame you because you're like "I can't help you...you fed someone who has actual teammates!"

It happened to me all the time when I play carries so I just don't anymore. It's too frustrating. I think Silver may be worse than Bronze in many ways...people get complacent when they get to Silver and either don't care or think they know the game now because they made it out of Bronze and just forget basics. In Bronze, most people are trying really hard to get out because being in last place is horrible.

I would leave a suggestion but previous comments are far by better advice than what I could give.

Buy more wards, that will help lower your deaths by a bit, even more so if you can throw them into the enemy jungle. Doing that will let your teammates know where the enemy teams jungler is, and relieve them of some pressure. Generally if I lane; a rarity mind you; if I manage to kill my enemy laner/force him to back, I immediately clear the wave out and ward the enemy jungle or our own jungle to prevent counter jungling.

The latter is going to be even more important when the new jungle changes hit, if your jungler runs into any problems whatsoever and gets put behind, you probably won't be seeing any help from them.
