I can't freaking carry

So I tend to play champions that end up being a lot more team reliant than anything. Champions like Renekton, Yasuo (Compared to other fighterd and assassins, he is), Thresh, Rammus and Rengar. I've tried my best with them and while I did go up the ladder quite a few times (Was Silver 2 at the end of thr season, Gold 5 after that) I ended up going on a major losong streak and ended up in Silver 4.

Now I'm trying champs that can basically carry an entire team if given time like Nasus. I just had two matches where I was on a roll. Each game I had about 300+ stacks by the 20 minute mark and I was taking objectives like crazy. In teamfights I would always focus their ADC, then midlaners.

But the problem is, my teammates pull me down so hard in these matches.

First game I was against Swain, a hard counter to Nasus. I played safe and survived without dying till the very end when he managed to takr my tower and kill me with his DOT. I had more CS than him cause he was always too busy harassing me.

Our midlane won. Our botlane however, lost terribly and they carried along with Swain's sleeper OP teamfighting. Thing was, because I always focused the squishies and our midlaner ignited Swaon during teamfights, our teamfights are superior. But we still lost because bot lane always got caught out of position. Like I swear, we were all pushing bot cause they were at baron and Vayne was standing around at red buff for some reason.

Second match, I utterly destroyed Jayce forcing him to switch with Heim who I also destroyed. 300 stacks before 20 minutes. I still couldn't carry because enemy Cait was 15-2 while our ADC was 2-13

How do I carry with these kind of players on my team? It always ends up being the bot lane who feeds like crazy.

This is just criticism and not bm but I am looking at your gameplay.

  1. Your average CS is around 5 a min and this is truly a silver players CS rate. You should really be aiming for 10 CS a minute unless your Jung or support. Yes 10 CS is a really good number but shooting for that should raise your average to atleast 7 per min. Might not seem like much but that extra gold can be a full item.

  2. Wards, s4+ ward placement is team oriented. Everyone should be buying wards and placing them around the enemy jungle, if not the entrance, to give everyone info on roams and ganks. From your history it looks like the most you put down is your trinket. A few extra wards can save your other lanes.

  3. Drag, esp the level 1 buff, is a huge priority. Call for wards on it and join a fight for it no matter what. It's more important than your split push.

Deaths and kills,without seeing you play, are hard to use for analyzing. This is just from looking and your game reports.

you need to play a hyper carry. and nasus while he can do alot of damage. hes NOT a hyper carry. You wanna hyper carry bad teamates you need to play mid, and adc, cause their such crucial roles in lower ranks.

Nasus cannot carry like that until way late game and even then he can be shut down pretty easily if they can stun you. You need to play champs like Kat, Akali, Fiora, Yasou, Yi, Jinxs, Jax, etc. But yea your team has a lot to do with it. I mean you can carry as amumu if your team actually attacks the champs that you ult.
