You're confusing cause and effect. Being in a certain League does not precipitate bad behavior. I am currently sitting at the bottom of Bronze III (whooo!) and 2/3 ranked games I play I have an amazing time with teams that cooperate, communicate and respect eachother. Sure there are bad games, and most of the time I lose but I have fun, and those mistakes you mention hardly ever happen because we point them out.

Case 1: Pick order

First pick guy: I GOT THIS GUYS I'LL CARRY MID AS KAT.

Me: Hey I'm fine with you going mid, and I bet you're amazing with Kat! But maybe we should pick a more team-friendly champ, like Ryze or Morgana. Oh! I know! Play Ziggs! They'll never see that coming! We'll kill those f-ers!

First pick guy: Hey good idea! I could poke them so much without any chance of getting hurt!

Case 2: Someone dies to someone low HP.

Dead guy: Dammit! That was so close

Me: Yeah I saw! You'll get him next time though. Just remember to play safe, watch for his (insert ability here) and use your (insert ability here) and you'll have him! Just remember to play it safe and don't rush in blindly!

Dead guy: Yeah good point. I was kind of over-extended wasn't I?

Case 3: Not paying attention to wards

Top: WTF WHERE DI HE COME FROM?

Me: Hey I saw you bought a ward when we started, which was a great move! Did you place it in river?

Top: Yeah I did... oh Sh*t it ran out! I gotta remember to keep an eye on that! Thanks man!

See, all these things have the same starting points as yours, but using compliments and strategic thinking, I turned a bad situation into a postive lesson and maybe a turnaround for that lane and even maybe the game.
