Why is it that whenever I get fed and try to snowball, my teams hold me back?
But whenever my opponent gets fed because of my laners, I still get the braindead teams?

Maybe you don't know how to carry like they do?
Ah, the age old instinct of confirmation bias.

You are likely remembering the bad experiences while forgetting the good ones. Tossing the contradictory evidence out, if you will. It is a survival skill that serves us poorly in the modern world. When our ancestors faced danger every day in their lives it was important that they learn quickly from negative experiences, such as getting hurt or sick. Thus negative experiences stick in our memory much more strongly than positive ones.
I suggest you take some time to un-tilt, and then remember that with the right attitude, even idiotic teammates can be dragged across the finish line.
But to do so you must learn the communication and teamwork skills necessary to get those players to do what you want. Simply telling them they are bad or treating them like lesser beings will not do, that will only anger them and make them belligerent. It is better instead to give them recognition for successes, and comfort them for failures, as well as to avoid engaging in petty squabbles with players who have tilted and become negative.
Nobody's perfect, I certainly am not. And I still fail to follow my above advice on occasion, but the times when I've used it have been the times when I've had my best games. Perhaps if you do the same you will find similar success.
Talk down? I think the guys was being respectful.
Also what he said is very true.
learn to carry then
