Another point worth mentioning, is that some winnable games are lost because of bad strategy. If you can master map objective priority and get people to follow you, you can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat even if you lose the laning phase. For example:

These are all mistakes that bads make, but you can help some of it with communication and proactive action. Not all of elo is your individual mechanical skill.
 * 1) Don't teamfight when you are behind. You'll get Aced and fall further behind. Amazes me how many people fail to understand this. Farm your way back in, try to pick off people, but don't 5v5.
 * 2) Ward the goddamn map even if it's not "your job". Warding is how you avoid getting caught, and how you get picks on people out of position on the enemy team.
 * 3) Don't Baron when you Ace the enemy team. KILL TOWERS/INHIBS.
 * 4) If you're going to force a fight at Baron, push the lanes first if you can so that a stalemate favors you, not the enemy team.
 * 5) Don't be bot lane for any reason if Baron is contested.
 * 6) If the enemy team is MIA, assume that they are setting up an ambush, because they probably are.
 * 7) Retreat-ping the crap out of people who are farming overextended with no vision.
