Do I Really Deserve My Elo?

So, I was stuck in Bronze for tens of games this season, and then I reached my series to Silver V. I've been duoing with my cousin since then, and now I'm well on my way to Silver III.

The thing is that I feel kinda bad because I'm not sure if I deserve my current MMR or division. I mean, my KDA has been positive almost every single game, and I'm useful in fights, etc. But when I try to solo-carry games, I don't tend to do very well in that regard.

Does performing really well while duoing with someone who is better than you still mean you don't deserve your division? Interested to hear what people here think, especially since I don't believe that I deserve better elo but are stuck because "my team is bad." Good people can climb regardless, in my opinion.

Meh, you're a team player. Not everyone needs to be a carry, some players need to be a good teammate. Every Super Hero needs a sidekick.

Why carry, this is a team game. Contribute to objectives.

You play a tank top, which is very hard to solo carry games. Your cs isn't that great, but not consistently bronze level garbage. You also have less than 100 games played, so I think you're doing alright.

Duoing could definitely effect the outcome, but otherwise yes. There is no need to be a dominate force as there is to be a consistently useful player.
