How do you even carry ranked...

So I'm a Silver 5 Jungle Main, and I've been playing Sejuani lately. I land many good ults but my team doesnt listen and doesnt know how to follow up at all. When I do get a good team, at least one person afks for one reason or another, and someone is always super toxic and thinks he deserves to be challenger.

I'm currently gaining about 16 lp per win and losing about 18 per loss. I always win 2 games and lose 1 or win 1 game and lose 1, so it's impossible to get my ranked elo higher.

I started the season in Bronze 5, and it took an entire year for me to get to Silver. Now that I'm Silver, I find it worse than Bronze 1 or 2.

I really dislike playing hyper carrys like Tristana and Akali, because they don't fit my playstyle. How do I carry a ranked game with a jungler that provides a lot of CC?

You like to play jungle it seems.

The key is to play jungle hard carries with utility.

Try jungle jax. He has utility with his mobility and stun, does a crap load of damage with just devourer+triforce, and is extremely tanky. He also clears moderately fast and doesn't get threatened the way he does in lane. No one can duel him in his own jungle.

Other recommendations include Nocturne, Diana and Fiddlesticks (though Fiddlesticks has a high skill cap).

One thing I like to day as a jungle main is either play a super early game champ like lee sin and just pitch a tent in a lane and put someone on life tilt. This usually makes the game into 4v6. If my team is playing fairly safe laners I'll play a farm/counter farm jungler and try to get myself super strong and deny vision and experience from the enemy jungle.. Though watching people cry about me camping a lane is priceless.

just keep playing the game. you are silver 5, play all the champs you think are good or in the meta. whatever champ gives you the higher win % play it.What people don't get is that ranked is a grind, if your like me, someone who does not like watching streams to learn stuff or be told im bad, just spam ranked. I was brone 5 in season 3 and now im diamond 4 only playing jungle.

Play elise, and go rangers into sorc boots and hautning guise then finish your smite item into juggernaut. Then build the following based on if you are fed, enemy ad is fed, or enemy ap is fed respectively: Rylai's, randuins/sunfire/frozen heart, spirit visage. Finish your liandry's when you can afford to or if you are ahead and dont need the tank items. I pick visage over the other mr options (such as banshees or abyssal) because the heal from your spiderlings is soooooooo good and the 20% increase has saved me so many times. This is very similar to the old school season 3 elise pen build but ancient golem is replaced by juggernaut (same thing tbh tho). It works pretty well, just land your stuns and you do tons of damage because of your pen and percent hp dmg. Elise excels at picks and skirmishes so just land stuns and pick fights and enjoy the freelo.

I main jungle too :) Currently plat 5, I have to say sej is really lacking in the carrying part. At the current meta, sej isn't the best to carry a game. If you don't like playing carrying role, you can give J4 and Amumu a try. Both can be built as offensive tank that provides tremendous amount of CC to team while soaking up damage. (Very similar to the role or sejuani but with better utility from skills).

currently plat 3, played in almost every elo.

My advice is, for silver 5-2 elo you need a damage champ to carry games. Assasins do well in this elo.

Sejuani is an amazing champ but not in silver 5 because people there do not know how to teamfight/siege correctly.
