I'm sick and tired of hearing "Its not your teamates, its you"

What it means is you focus on what YOU can do better, due to the simple fact you can't control other players in solo queue. You can try to communicate, but a lot of people don't listen or rage if you say anything to them at all. So you focus on you because what else can you do. But there are plenty of games where there is nothing you can do on your own to make it a win.

Yesterday I had a ranked game, I was jungling, where our mid ezrael fed syndra first blood and 3 kills within the first few minutes. Our top heimer was shoving to enemy tower and so I couldn't gank his lane, and in fact he started to get ganked constantly by the fed syndra roams, and she poops on heimer. I tried to camp bot but enemy had a sivir blitz lane which is really hard to gank, and everytime I did try to gank our bot lane would chase too hard, give blitz a clear shot for grab and get pulled and insta killed under their tower. I politely told bot that just because I'm ganking it doesn't mean they can run up to blitz and get grabbed under their rower range, if they don't see a safe way to move up, back off, I'll back off too and we try again later. Their support started raging and began following me around the jungle stealing my camps while all 3 lanes continued to feed.

Was there anyway I could have turned that match into a win by myself? No. But I still thought about what I could have done better because sadly I have no control over trolls and feeders and sometimes you just get stuck with them.

Your teammates are only in one of your games. You, however, are in all of your matches. So it does you no good to be concerned about that leaver from 3 games ago - because you'll probably never see him again.

Besides, even if you can't carry the feeders or the afks, if you're genuinely better than the people you're being matched with, you should be winning more than half your games. And if you're winning more than half your games, you're already climbing.

It's true and false. Its a team game, and youre supposed to be a team to achieve victory. It's never any 1 person's fault for the loss no matter how bad or worse they actually did, because you have teammates for a reason. Teamates that can help turn a loss into a victory by making group plays. It's incredibly frustrating when youre the only person to do good in a game and you still lose because its a team effort.

If your team is weaker than the other, the weaker team is going to lose plain and simple. In which case it is your teammates, including you.

I've lost 6 rank games in a row and got demoted. Because my team, myself included wasn't good enough, focused enough, determined enough or just cared enough to win. Even when i did good enough to deserve to win i didn't get it because it was up to my teamates to secure it which they couldn't. We couldnt.

Thats the bullshit way this all works. Even if you work as hard as people expect/demand of you, you still wont win because its up to your team as a whole.

You seem to be a good toplaner while being bad at every other role, so i recommend you to keep playing top lane.

Get better can carry your way out lol

You get trolls on your team and you get trolls on the enemy team

You get AFK on your team and you get AFKs on the enemy team
