Okay, I give up. This puzzle has proved itself unanswerable. What enigma of impossibility can not be answered by the knowledge of common League of Legends player?..
I seriously do not understand how this process of dividing players into teams of five even works.
About one month ago, I refused to play in ranked games due to the lack of DECENT teammates. I stayed at around 1200 ELO for the longest time. I honestly just played a bunch of ARAMs and Dominions and Normals, avoiding Ranked as much as possible.
I have been fortunate enough to receive a recent grace in the midst of matchmaking. I have somehow managed to reach 1500 ELO (thanks to my friends).
And yes, you are probably thinking: "He is so lucky!" Couldn't agree more my friends. I am good, but I cannot win games on my own.
Summing it up, I just simply do not understand how at one point I can have the most pro teammates I've ever played with, then suddenly playing with people that seem to know nothing about League of Legends.
Matchmaking.

And thanks Wintermond and Hahano for ya'lls advice. And I shouldn't have any other issues.
Play who you want, win with them and expect results. If you have issues henceforth, let me know and I can help.
Winning Streak=>Losing Streak=>Winning Streak=>Losing Streak and so on.
Getting to higher elo is carrying ourself through the games of losing streaks, otherwise you will stay at a <50% win ratio.
I've played with 100 elo players, 1000 elo players, and 2000 elo players.
The main difference between a 100 elo player and a 1000 elo player, is their ability to execute mechanics, and their overall decision making (Should i attack this vayne that is 10 levels above me and has 5 items when i have no items?)
The main difference between a 1000 elo player, and a 2000 elo player is their ability to pick lane counters, and in general, their small decisions.
That is true, I have noticed a small increase in players choosing their champions according to how the enemy chooses, and not just picking a champion because they like playing him/her.
And you are pretty spot on with 100-1000 elo players. Really summed it all up nicely
I think most of the replys so far have been accurate. I particularly like Temzilla's post right above me.
Another thing I like to consider in these situations is the mentality durring a streak like this. No matter how PAINFULLY obvious it is, I NEVER allow myself to blame my teamates. By forcing it upon yourself you force yourself to learn MORE and carry HARDER.
It was actually after a losing streak that I took a long hard look at my main, Twitch. That long look at my playstyle, choices and matchups turned into an ongoing learning process and led to what is so far a 27 page guide on everything Twitch. I could most likely count on my hands the number of games I've lost while Twitching since then.
I think I couldn't agree more. I for one never ever rage at my teammates if they make any mistakes. It could be no MIAs, AutoAttacking creeps, or jungling while a teamfight occurs. I just simply try to tell them what they should try to do instead of what they are doing. Unfortunately, many other players skip the idea of patience and go straight to raging EVERYONE. They bust out the "gg noob troll, uninstall you useless peice of ****".
I just feel bad for the people stuck playing with me.
:( lol.
Thanks all for the comments :)

Secondly: I can do good, and make up for one maybe two bad players, but a whole team I cannot do.
