Why am I always matched with morons?

I just don't understand it. I've lost NINE promo series (not matches, SERIES) because of the people I get matched with. : /

Say I'm mid lane, and I'm doing decent. Not great, but I'm holding my own and not feeding. So, by mid game, I'm ~6/2 or something around there. Every 30 seconds or so, I hear "An ally has been slain!" or "Enemy double/triple kill!" or "An enemy is dominating/godlike/legendary!" -- I just don't understand what I can do to change the outcome of those games. People like to tell me that it's my own fault that I lose my promos (nine series in a row, at that) and matches in general... but I just don't understand how. I roam when my opponent is gone, and I roam when my lane is pushed. If I'm a jungler, I gank when I can and when it's safe to do so. If I'm a supp, I do everything I can to keep my ADC alive (though they usually somehow kill themselves anyway). What more can I do to win? It's like my team is all bronze/silver and the enemy team is all plat/diamond. (I'm silver 2, though I feel like that's way too high for me, judging by my performance.)

Now, on top of that, most of the teams I go against are full of the most braindead, simplistic, borderline broken champs that have all targeted abilities / auto attacks, but for some reason just instantly delete people. How can I play against someone I can't outplay? Katarina (you can stun her ult, sure), Diana, Xin, Annie, ADCs in general, Yasuo and so on. I can poke them down from a distance, but if I'm a melee champ, I'm just kind of screwed. : /

Anyway, does anyone know why my games are always so, seemingly, unfairly matched? Why have I lost 9 promo series in a row due to teammates absolutely feeding? I just don't understand why I have such bad luck in this game.

I have the same problem. I can almost always count on my teammates being terrible. Its frustrating, but you just have to carry as hard as you can.

It's not your fault, it's the teams fault. This is a team game, not an individual game. SO, those telling you it is your fault want to see you fail. They don't want you get better. That's how they get off! FInd someone to duo with, that's good or at your level. For now, if you want to continue playing that's all you can do.
