Can someone please point out how I can carry myself out of Silver?

I've been trying to do it, but I seriously cannot stop throwing if my teammates feed or make stupid mistakes. I don't think I can single-handedly carry a game, and there's just next to none communicating going on between my teammates and I. There's also a large majority just flaming people for stupid things and being toxic overall. I understand that I'm terrible, but I don't understand why I have to lose when I start out 9/0/4 or anything like that. I feel like objectives (mainly towers) never become a priority to anyone but me until later on in the game, and it ends up screwing us over when we have kills but no objectives. I'm probably just really bad, but I really want to get out of where I am MMR wise. Can anyone point out exactly what I need to do this season?

Since you prefer going damage when you get ahead, you should be more focused on 1v1 or small skirmishes, because your builds are not really teamfight oriented. Your jungler builds just scream "stomp them before the teamfight phase". Either get better at this or change your builds slightly.

That's exactly what I do to get further ahead, but then I have the issue of their carries getting fed because 1-2 people get caught over and over. At this point, I begin to tilt and end up throwing. When teamfights occur, it seems like my team doesn't have very good positioning or doesn't sync with me when I go in and blow up 1-2 people and they just run away and I die. Maybe it's my fault. I don't know.

You need to see what do you bring to teamfights as the champions you play. Just going deep and coming at ADC and dying half way doesnt cut it. Especially when you're the fed one. If you see that you're fed, but the enemies are also fed and you can't take them alone and they are grouped, I suggest you to use your gold for some damage and then get support tanky items. Then find the least retarded teammate (hopefully your ADC) and glue yourself to him. He gets blown up by magic damage? Get locket and protect his ass! AD jumps on him? Use your ulti and randuins on whoever jumps on this guy. Focus whoever he's focusing. And also do not initiate teamfights when your teammates are dumb. Initiation will happen by itself, your assistance is not needed.

Don't rage at teammates and stop getting upset if things start going poorly. Youd be surprised how effective never giving up can be in low elo, as when those death timers get long it only takes 1 opponent getting caught out to turn a game around.

Try playing champions that have the ability to get into the enemy back line and blow up their carries, LeBlanc is good at this but there are others for other lanes as well.

Personally, ive never really believed in the "carry yourself" mentality that people on these boards tend to ascribe to. There are so many different factors that need to be considered for an individual to be able to carry a game that the very notion of it being good advice is just asinine. Im sure its different depending on how much better you are than the elo youre in, but even thats not foolproof as I recall threads in the past in which plat+ level players said they couldn't carry themselves out of silver.

Your best bet is to just reduce any potential negativity you might be bringing to games and work together with your team to try to win instead of having the mentality that youre superior to them and theyre dragging you down. Even if its true you wont do anything but bring the whole team down with that way of thinking.
