Help, i have no idea what i'm doing wrong

So, no matter what i try to do in a ranked game, i almost always lose, and i don't understand. I hardly ever feed, when i recently decided to start my placement matches i didn't assume i was better than everyone, i thought that they were better than me and would help pick up the slack and help carry, never, ever happened, a lot of the time they just failed in lane, or DIDN'T FUCKING GROUP NO MATTER WHAT I SAID, leading to loss after loss after loss, placing me in bronze 5, even then, i was (foolishly) optimistic about each game, thinking that we would work as a team, and i wouldn't need to try super hard since we would work together i'm not new to ranked, but it's what i thought, i was always let down and currently at exactly zero points in the division. Now, i'm not going to shift all the blame on other people, i've made my share of mistakes and have fed a few times, but at least i try to learn from them and stuff. I get decent farm each game, around 100 or more at the 20 minute mark, not super great i know, i ward my lane and other areas when i can, i'm sure it's not as much as i should, and try my best not to make stupid decisions, yet i still lose the game, i don't get it, am i the problem somehow? well that's a dumb question, of course i am since i'm the common factor in each game, but still. Any suggestions you guys can make to help me improve would be greatly appreciated~

Welcome to League of Legends, where skill doesn't matter and Riot only cares about taking your money.

Do you have every role down to an N (Are you sure you understand a role). Trust me ranked isn't easy I know higher ups make it seem simple but some games are un-winnable. It all comes down to team composition and if your teammates are communicating. 8 out of 10 games it's always two people who never communicate and rage after they die twice. You always get the adc who wants to split push and the enemy team will gang-bang him. Don't let that happen. What lanes/roles do you play? Describe them.

i wouldn't say you have decent farm. ok farm at 20 is about 150. it's possible to double that if you are going super hard farm mode, but no one ever does of course. I would say bring up your farming a bit and be able to cs under tower even.

another thing to note is to reduce your deaths to 0 while still playing the game. look for any reason you die and how YOU could have avoided it. don't say you expected someone to heal you or anything else; just what you can do.

go for objectives. if everyone is fighting and you have a choice to join them or get two towers, get the two towers. two towers is easily worth the lives of your team, unless you know you can help save your team, ace or near ace the other team and still get an objective.

sounds like you play top, but I'm only guessing. playing someone who can go aggro and learning how to get easy kills can help. playing someone like tryn or J4 or anyone else you like. as long as you aren't trading your life for kills and actually pressure, it would be fine. bronze 5 is the easiest rank to solo lane so if you are having trouble getting kills, you would have even more trouble living higher up in rank. this would just mean you just need to learn more.

I should also say that some lanes you shouldn't fight, and that you should focus on farming more. lanes that aren't in your favour.

if you play a champ, really learn what they can do and know their cooldowns if you can. at least keep track of what's long and short. one thing I've seen from low bronze is people using flash over ult. the longer cooldown is worth more (flash has longest cooldown) since the longer cooldown takes longer to come back. to give an example, if you are playing lee sin and you are trying to run and live, and if you have both flash and ult, ue your ult before you use flash.

this is fairly general advice, but I hope it helps.
