I dont mean boost me or carry me i want some advice. First of all i am silver 4. Honestly, most of my games first 5 minutes my team has already started to feed while im like 0/0/0. I have read a guide of what u should which contains: be friendly, forgive their mistakes, dont flame, if another person is flamed try to deffend them, help other lanes if you do good and be positive, chat with team and communiocate, tell them what they do wrong and what they should do. Now the reality. How can i help other lanes if i do good when my team already gave 5 kills to enemies and i havent really have the time to do good in my lane? How can i i communicate when i practically tell them that they will die in about 10 secs if they keep pushing and they really die in 10 secs and next time they do the same, they never listen, they keep over extending without vision all the time, the feed like there is no tomorrow, they keep chasing the fed riven when she is low but you have the same amount of life also. PLEASE HELP ME give me some advice how to deal with these teams??? How to carry such teams??

Silver to gold shouldn't be that much of a hurdle to overcome. Some games aren't winnable but if you want to have the most influence in your games i'd recommend learning to jungle. Other than that just keep playing and improve.

No. But I'm a master of snakes and ladders. Maybe I can help you there?

Not all games are winnable,just focus on improving your performance,in average your team shouldn't be worse than your enemies,if you consistently play on a gold level you will eventually hit gold(learning is going to be a bigger factor than carrying anyway).

But well,if you just want silver->gold,then:

Pick some solo q faceroll,op shit,since it's low elos just check champion.gg for solid pickrate+high winrate+high winrate on low amount of games,copy some pro build(no questions,only copy pasta) spam a bunch of games,might be enough.

Play support -> Zyra, Nami, Soraka, Janna, Brand, Blitz. Make sure you ward and play which ever effectively. Support is a reliable and impactfull role to climb, you just have to know what to do during those times your adc isn't that good and adjust to all situations.

well from experience i can tell getting fed early will shut them up and make them focus on the game. people tend to listen to those who are carrying

Silver to Gold? Have you tried Swain? Also! If you're a solo lane consider teleport. I go tp on lux mid and I've had a good experience with it when I've needed to help teammates. You don't always have to finish the tp, sometimes just using it will be enough to get the enemy to stop chasing. Then unless you know y'all could win you should cancel it to save on cd. Always buy a vision ward for river and ward common ganking paths to bottom. If you can play safe mid then ward more for bot's sake. It'll help for those times when you know your lane went bot but you can't really chase them.

Got a losing lane? Try and help them by warding or ganking. Chances are their opponent is actually pretty good and they need help, they're not feeding on purpose. If you have cc don't always use it to instantly blow someone up in a team fight. Use it to keep your weaker teammates alive so they can still dps and act as bait.

Back to Swain. He has good heal, good crowd control, good damage over time, and a pretty good tank. Get fed, itemize to stay alive against their most fed players, e carries, q/w to peel, and r for damage and sustain. Don't overuse your ult or you'll go oom fast and be useless. He falls off I hear at higher tiers but he's good in silver. Take tp on him for a global presence. In lane farm with autos and use e to harass. Save your w for disengage or to secure a guaranteed kill. If you are going to w try and get q on them first to guarantee w will hit. If they get close to you q and e, see how far their hp goes down before deciding to w because you will go oom fast if you always spam all 3 to poke.

I'm just gold but if you want to play some matches I'd be down, add me.

just a copy pasta i wrote to someone who wrote something similar to your post:

STOP. CARING. ABOUT. YOUR. TEAM!

It doesn't matter.

You are the common denominator in your games. the only way out of YOUR TIER is to better YOURSELF.

work on YOUR CS.

work on YOUR MAP AWARENESS.

work on YOUR WARDING (yes, get that upgraded trinket at lvl 9 and outward your support who has a sightstone!)

work on YOUR MECHANICS (osu, aimbooster, etc...)

work on YOUR POSITIONING
