what role are you typically playing?

It sounds like you're stuck in an elo where you need to take charge but can't. I've had many games where we do fine during the laning phase, but once it ends everyone seems to have a different plan. It's a common problem, especially in solo queue. If you're confident you know what you're doing, try to politely suggest courses of action, and give reasons if you can (e.g. "we have strong poke and disengage, so we might try exploiting that and pushing while avoiding teamfights"). If you can get everyone on the same page, you have a stronger chance of being able to work together as a team. The sooner you do this the better; I occasionally point out team strengths like that at champ select, and I feel like it helps (but I can't say for sure). I can't stress enough that you should try and do so politely and informatively, though, since the last thing you want is your teammates raging at you. Try to foster discussion rather than command, but the important thing is that you bring questions like that up.

when it comes to your teammates feeding, often times you just have to accept that you got the short end of the stick this time around. If matchmaking works at all, your teammates should feed at most 50% of the time unless you're part of the equation (and you should always consider that possibility). What's important is that you win the games that are in your control.
