How do you deal with other people on your team?

So I have, like many of you, been trying to improve. For the last couple of days, I have lost 3 in a row for ranked. And just before that time, I won a bunch. My win percentage was 65% now its at 45%. Like I got into my Bronze 5 (I know I'm a bad scrub or w/e) series to move up, and lost them out.

I play support as my main. But, I feel like I don't have enough influence over the flow of the game to "make" us win. I have really taken to heart a lot of the comments in this forum: Take breaks Don't play on tilt (my limit is lose 2 ranked games in a row and just stop) I'm really not a toxic person at all I ping for objectives Try to play safe (yeah I sometimes fail at this) Work on X, Y, and Z

But as support I could set up plays all day, but it doesn't mean anyone will take those opportunities. I have even had opposing teams say that I was good, but, the rest of the team caused the failure. I don't know how true it is or w/e. But, I'm wondering for all those people who can climb out of bronze "so easy". How do you deal with the other 80% of team? How do YOU climb "so easy"? Should maybe i just stop playing support at this level? Would it even matter?

as support: peel for the carry/carries. as long as they re able to deal damage for free, the better the fight often goes. that's just one thing, there are many other things, but not sure what you have to work on so I will leave it at that.

it is easier carrying as other roles since you can just go around killing everyone and taking objectives alone, but that's if your still level is quite a bit higher than your rank. any role can carry, up to you what you want to play.

I do peel for my team and setup for engages. And yes I'm not perfect. But I do these things and still can't win games. I guess I feel like im punished even though I think I'm playing correctly.
