How do you win solo queue?

Like just how? No wonder Riot made solo q available for a party of 5, NO ONE CAN WIN LANE. Literally how hard is it to just not feed? Is it such a hard task? For some reason, people get in game and decide to start their own Red Cross Organization. In which case, all they do is feed, feed, feed. By the time their lane is 5/0 or something, they roam to other lanes and just spread their power. In result, all other lanes that were somewhat winning, or going even, are now losing as well. And sure, go ahead, look at my match history and stats. Well, for some reason I can't even see my own ranked stats because the button is always greyed out. Look at my match history all you want, and I can guarantee you that you will not find a game where I applied for a job as a lunch lady and fed my ass off. I always win my lane, and if not then I go about even with a kill or two ahead or behind. I'm never the person who feeds their head off and goes 0/4 in lane. The worst case I can go is 0/3 and even still usually I'll just comeback easily with a roam or good skirmish. I never end the game feeding my ass off. So just how, how can people be so bad and be in the same elo as people who are actually good, because I've come across some pretty good players. If Riot had a system where you had to like tryout in order to be judged worthy enough to play ranked, they would be the people who would have to try out just to spectate a ranked game. And don't go telling me "Well if you're the only one fed, spread your power" because I don't think me as the 2/0 Zed or Kat or Talon or whatever, is gonna be able to gank and help the 0/4 Fiora against the 4/0 Renekton. People say to spread the power, but they don't understand the risk of it ending up in a double kill or worse. Especially, if you're not as strong as the other fed player. Like just tell me how? I would love to play with friends, but I don't always have close friends to duo with every time I play.

You should press the enter key sometimes. It breaks down walls of text into more manageable paragraphs to read and it is easier on the reader's eyes.

One skill that nobody seems to employ nowadays is learning how to communicate effectively with teammates. If you have teammates who are feeding offer to give them advice. If you are knowledgeable enough about the game you can sometimes turn a losing lane into a winning lane by suggesting a strategy for them to follow or a specific item for them to buy.

My strategy is not 100% effective as you will get those inconsolable ragers but for the ones who are inexperienced at the game a simple minute of instruction/constructive criticism can go a long way. And admitting fault for a situation can also go a long way to improve team relations.

I just posted about this too, I get trolls and "Smurfs" who come in and either feed then afk, or feed and try to surrender, or inn general just lock and then afk. I went from Silver 2 to Silver 4 and have lost like 14 or so of my last 20 games. And even when I duo or trio queue, the other people usually still feed or troll and then flame my friends and I.
