What do I do about feeders?

So I've been in a lot of games recently where either our mid or our bot fed so hard that it was physically impossible to win a teamfight because their adc or their mage was getting back-to-back multi kills. It's really annoying because it feels like no matter what I do, my ranked standing is in the hands of teams that are giving out free wins by feeding. For example, I went 18/7 with Vayne the other day but our mid fed the opponent Leblanc so hard that I was almost always melted in a matter of seconds. Most of my kills came from picking people off out of position or ulting and out-maneuvering the opponent adc. Last game, I went Yasuo and I absolutely demolished the other Yasuo (it was a mirror match). I ended the game 4/1 and he ended the game 0/3. Our bot didn't get a single kill, didn't call an mia so i got ganked by their Lucian, their Leblanc, and their Warwick. Their Lucian ended either 9/1 or 8/1. This has happened in Ranked, Hexa, and normals. What do I do? What do you do when your team has fed so hard that you just can't win? It's really frustrating because I feel super helpless when everyone else has 9 or 10 deaths and I'm the only one with a decent or neutral KDR.

Play 1v1 games or get used to it.

After they've fed? There's not much you can do. When you first notice they're giving up kills? If you can offer advice on how to play their matchup more effectively, that's the time to do it. And not just "quit feeding," even if that's the gist of it. "Mid, it looks like you're getting outplayed. Try to play more defensively and jungle, can you help get mid back on track?"

Basically if you know a lane is losing you have to try and gank the lane yourself. thats why i jungle =D. From all the videos riot makes i noticed giving a kill or 2 to my team instead of getting myself fed is very valuable. i noticed my team was balanced in kills and was able to kill one fed person and their team easily. its just all strategy. no matter what you have to help a lane that is struggling. Teamwork Op is seriously very honest
