need advice for ranked

Lately, I've been on a losing streak in ranked. A few from afks on my team, but the bulk of it is from teammate feeding early and continuing to force fights against fed opponents. i understand that people are going to die at times during game and that's just how things are, i accept that, but going 0/14/0 and ignoring words of caution, i do not. One match my bot lane feeds, i tell them to avoid fights for now, farm, and catch up.... but they do the complete opposite and help the enemies snowball. This has been happening for the pass week and i feel like quitting ranked. I cant tell if I'm on tilt or if forcing fight against fed opponents is the way to go. Its costing me elo and i need some advice on how to get out of this rut.

this happened to me(30game loss streak pretty much) i went from silver 4 to bronze 4 cuz of it... your on tilt and your bot lane probably does suck. stop playing for a bit. after u come back be adc main and carry your team. id rather top/mid feeds then an adc. i suck at adc but shit look at this lol

i do really well with other roles most the time but not enough to carry the feeding bot lane cuz then a 15/0 jinx comes and wrecks me. i play bot lane and presto 91% winrate this week as adc.

(ignore the lee sin 2/11 game, it was pure fuckery from asshats autolocking whatever they want as last pick with 29%winrate... put me on huge tilt halfway thru the game too.)

my sample size could just be small and i could be wrong with my theory but i digress. its gonna carry my ass back into silver really quick.

I know the feeling, especially when that costs you your rank. I would just recommend you either wait for S5, or play a heavy carry champ in lane. If someone in bot lane is feeding, keep roaming down there. For the first half a game with feeders in them, you just need to watch them like a hawk. But if you're struggling and they're feeding. GG

it sounds like you probably just got unlucky with your matches, it's probably not your fault you lost those games... however it also sounds like losing those games has made you go on tilt - take a break from ranked for a while, play lots of normals with friends if you can just for fun and when you're feeling good about it you can start playing ranked again.

I honestly feel like you may be overgeneralizing "feeding teammates" and allowing that to get you on tilt. Ranked is an uphill battle for majority of solo que players and you're almost always getting a new set of teammates each game. My advice to you as a diamond player is this: Ignore the fact that your teammates are dying. It won't help your teammates to make negative remarks like "stop feeding/noob laner". Instead, offer helpful advice and focus on improving your own gameplay. Help your teammate maintain their focus on taking objectives to win the game. Remember, laning phase does not determine the fate of the game; you can always come back from gold deficits by taking objectives and winning teamfights.
