Why do all my ranked teams end up feeding

I am trying to say this in the least offensive way possible, but how is it possible to play so many ranked games and not have at least one team mate that i would call on par with my skill level. I know that im not the greatest player there is but i seem to know much more about this game and play it better than most if not all the people i end up having on my team. That being said if i am forced to play with these people on my team why cant i at least get some enemy team members of the same caliber they always seem to just destroy my team in every way shape and form. And my teammates don't seem to understand when they are losing lane it is better to stop trying to fight them because they will lose and end up feeding and costing me another game it is incredibly taxing on my mental dexterity when every game i cant get a team that will A.) play together and not complain at each other when a mistake is made. or B.) know how to play the role that they called and/or the champion that they picked. I try to only play champs that i have a decent knowledge of and only play roles that i am comfortable playing and have a good feel for, like everyone that plays ranked should. But it seems that all of these teammates i get are just turned level thirties trying to get their placements done without thinking or knowing how annoying it is to lose in ranked type of people. And it drives me up a wall to see one of my ranked games ended in the first few minutes due to some inexperienced player feeding a champ like a Nasus or Ahri. Again i know i'm not a great player and that your supposed to look at yourself when you lose and try to improve what you did so that you can get better at this game but it is incredibly hard to do so when all i am positive that the cause for at least 65% of my losses are due to poor teammates and bad cooperation. i'm not saying that they are always the reason but i find it really hard to stomach that it is always my fault

P.S. I'm sure that you all are going to read this and call me a terrible player that needs to get good and stop trying to blame some one else for your mistakes in game. I would usually be saying these things alongside you, but it is happening to me now.

TLDR; I'm pissed off that my teams suck and i can't get out of bronze already. this is sarcasm please don't take this seriously

It is called the Dunning-Kruger effect, which means that one person has illusory superiority of their own skill. ^^ It inhibits your progress in two ways: Most obviously, it convinced you that you don't need to actively try to improve your skill. Less obviously, it stops you from recognizing what a player that is objectively more skilled than you is like, and therefore it stops you from recognizing what you want to become. If you think you deserve to be in Silver as a Bronze player, you're not ONLY not trying to get out of Bronze, you're ALSO unable to see why Silver players are better than you (ie better csing, grouping at mid more, warding).

Also, it'd help if you didn't have such a defeatist attitude. The game isn't over until the nexus is dead.

I'm also one of the best players in league and I hate when people ruin my games.

Statistically speaking, you are more likely to get a Feeder on the enemy team than yours, given that you are not the aforementioned Feeder.

Pretty much it boils down to this:

40% of your ranked games you are GOING to lose. Feeders/Trolls/AFks and the like on your team. 40% of your ranked games you are GOING to win. Feeders/Trolls/AFks and the like on the other team.

The other 20%, those are the games that you get to have a meaningful impact in and its those games that you have the ability to affect the outcome. You have to find those 20% and make sure you carry your ass off in them.
