Title is tongue in cheek. Sort of.
I'm currently stuck in the depths of Silver 3ish. Players rank somewhere from Bronze 2 to Silver 1.
And neither I nor they play the game right. But when you do have an idea of how the game should be played - OMG! My eyes! Do these people really have no idea what they are doing. Yes. The answer is yes. They don't know what they should be doing and they can barely pilot their characters half the time.
There are some exceptions, but the individual knowledge level is so diverse that actually coming to the same conclusions about what should be happening is rare. You know it when it happens. Maybe the game is a little struggly in the early game, but everyone is farming well and your scaling is good. Then it clicks. Gank Bot. Get a double. Your Mid laner doesn't get a kill but does send their lane opponent back to base so you have a clear shot at the Infernal Drake. Top sees the gank Bot and plays it safe thus avoiding their jungler who was trying to gank them. And then you slowly start to accrue advantages from there despite the occasionally mishap until you can finally steam roll the game.
But in general your team is touched. Everyone is going to get solokilled by their lane opponent in the first 10 minutes of the game. They are going to get ganked after the enemy jungler walks over two wards to get to them and they are going to die. Your team is going to chase enemies into places where they have no vision and they are all going to die. Your team is going to ARAM in Mid letting minions waves crash endlessly into the side lane turrets and not notice when their Sion gets bored and goes and smashes your inner Top lane turret and inhibitor turret almost getting your inhibitor before you kill him and delete his passive form. In the mean time you are going to lose one of your Mid turrets or a neutral objective because you had to send people back to deal with the Sion.
So, how do you win more. Get you and or someone else on your team so ridiculously fed that you can't lose. Then you shot call based on how bad *** you have proven yourself. Don't try to 1v9. Just get your team to lawn mower down all their objectives. Outer turrets, inner turrets, inhibitor turrets, inhibitors, take all their jungle camps, take all the neutral objectives and just starve them out until you lead is insurmountable and crush them.
Unless you let
Kayle get to level 16, in which case

Instead of chatting about the parentage or lack thereof of your teaammates, identify whoever on your team seems to have a clue and work with them to try and win the game.
Lolphally pointed out that going to the right place at the right time will often get everyone else to go to the right place.
Example you are the jungler and there is a wave in Mid that you could eat but your Mid laner is on their way out of base. If you eat that wave your Mid laner may have nothing else to do so when you get a chance at a pick in the river your Mid laner is off doing wolves and not close enough to help.
"gg Mid laner farming jungle camps while we fighting and dying."
Actually had this happen a day or two ago after our
The other thing that can happen if you as the jungler consume those waves is that your laner assigned to that lane will then go to another lane to try and pick up farm somewhere and one of two things will happen.
1. They will get picked off in transit.
2. They will then be sharing gold and XP with one of your other laners
If no one else is near the wave, by all means consume it so you can send your minions forward for vision, but think about what happens if you do eat the wave because it can be important.
IWD says something like "that was unfortunate, but hey it is soloqueue. those sorts of things are going to happen."
Credenda advised on a recent stream to "accept that some games are simply unwinnable and focus on your own mistakes because you are the constant between your games".
In this game I died to the
And I traded my life for a kill on the
Oh and I died to the Sion again because he proved tanky enough to run back into turret range. Skarner avenged my death and so I told him to use Rift Herald not taking into account how low Skarner had gotten in the fight and also not noticing that Xerath had roamed up. So Skarner died just after getting Rift Herald onto the map. It did keep Xerath and Sion busy for a bit so there was that small benefit.
