Disheartened

So I pushed my self hard over the last month or so and worked up to Silver II (nearly at promos to Silver I) and within 2 days I lose it all and drop to Silver IV. I'm disheartened.

I understand how the ranked system works and all. But honestly I am just out of my mind over this.

I main support. Clearly even if I get A through S rank in my games (which is most with a few B exceptions) and keep my lane safe, it doesn't mean anything if top throws or jungler feeds or whatever (And that happens from time to time, I get it, it's part of the game). I can't stay support. I feel even at my best, I can't carry my team and give it that extra push it takes to take that one extra objective or that one key team fight.

I need advice or something. I dunno.

I have the exact same problem. Especially every time i get in series. I won three games in a row and got 2 free wins for my series and then the next 3 games were all loses because of toxic literal feeders and plain unskilled team mates. So if you find the answer let me know

Here's what I did:

When I hit rough patches in trying to climb, I would switch to playing carry supports with relatively cheap builds, like Zyra or Annie. I also started playing a lot of Morgana but with my lane pressure build (shameless plug: http://www.lolking.net/guides/390052). The lane pressure you can generate with Zyra's waveclear or the build I linked with Morgana can really turn a game on its head. And we all know how Annie can just carry no matter where you put her.

My main point is you need to play carry supports that have decent utility (no Brands please) while being able to dish out a lot of damage or control waves. Wave control is highly underrated as a way to carry a game - hence me building ZZ'Rot and Banner on Morgana a large amount of the time.
