so in my last game i was playing game was going good for the first 5 min untill our top started feeding hard then our mid and so on then my team started getting toxic and i thought to myself "hey i could turn this arround with all my cc im sure of it"... well long story short my janna cant carry when my team is rageing at eachother more than actually playing.

so i want to know what im supposed to do in that situation when my team either behind or the other team has a player or two that is better than our "carrys"

also heres the post game stats for any one that wants to see my kda http://i.imgur.com/mhhNea9.jpg?1

Here, I'll use an example from a game I played recently:

I'm playing Soraka with a Graves vs an Anivia (with ignite) and another Graves. Top lane Irelia gives first blood, but apologizes. She dies again later (or possibly twice, can't recall) while my lane is completely stagnant. They keep dodging my poke, I zone out the jungler and interrupt Vi's Q with Equinox, and I heal their poke. Nothing's happening, except we're slowly losing in the battle of attrition.

So I decide to do something about it.

I recall, telling Graves to stay pushed to our tower, and then head to Irelia while the fed Pantheon is ganking mid. Together, we manage to get the top tower and Irelia gets two kills with my help in the span of two minutes max, just as Graves starts having trouble. I get there in time, and everyone's happy.

We eventually won that game after I alleviated some of our early game's weak playing, and the rest of my team easily carried once they lost the disadvantage.

The moral is that you need to roam. You aren't a babysitter. Help someone out at the earliest signs of trouble and help them snowball as soon as you can. Think of yourself as a primary support and a secondary jungler.

The best thing you can do is keep a level head and keep playing YOUR game, don't get sucked into your teams drama.

When things go south I mute every member of my team and communicate by pinging on whatever objective I want to play around next. Just keep playing to the best of your ability and hope that your team rallies around you after a good fight. I have won games where my team does nothing but argue by "ignoring" them and doing my best impression of Navi from Legend of Zelda. Then again I play a lot of Bard so I'm kinda just used to annoying people and "helping"..... hue.

Also no need to link your "KDA" man, it's an imaginary number that nobody cares about.

The best thing to do imo is as soon as you realize youre team is starting to fall behind, start roaming mid and try for ganks. Other than that, build like an AP carry if the game goes on long enough. I'd dump everything other than sightstone for standard apc build
