I'm silver something, I know, not your target range, but it doesn't matter. I've won more than I've lost, and that's something so here's my advice. Try to joke with your team before chat and before you get set up to invade/defend an invade. I win almost every game where me and my teams are happy and joking.

I main ADC as well. It's called that for a reason, it is a carry role. If you get fed, you can carry. There isn't a thing you can do to change your team, so my best advice is to just get better. That sounds harsh, but I don't mean it like that. Play to better yourself, and have fun, not to win. If a team mate is harrassing you or your allies, don't argue, mute them. If you play with that in mind, eventually, you will start winning games. You'll still loose some, but that's inevitable.

As for gameplay, I'll go through each role as briefly as I can, except top, which I suck at unless it's Kayle cuz I love her.

ADC. Farm. Learn how your champ autoattacks. Caitlyn for example, lifts her gun some before the actual projectile leaves her gun, causing a delay with low attack speed. If you aren't used to this, you'll miss last hits. If you have to choose between a last hit and one auto on the enemy, take the last hit. If you can get say 3 on the enemy, or a few last hits and hit them with an ability, do that. If the support isn't competant, just tell them to hang back and try to save you when you mess up. More often than not, they just die, and even if you live, that's still putting you behind. In team fights, don't even go in until they use there cc, or if they don't focus you. The only reason you should die is if they get to you, and if you have team mates that already ate all there cc, that won't happen. A common mistake is to think you as the ADC need to focus the mid or enemy ADC. No, you hit whoever is closest to you that is safe to hit. If jax is jumping at you, hit him. If alistar is the only one in your range, hit him, even if you only do 300 damage a crit to him cuz his stupid ulti. That is the most important thing about this role.

If you can ADC, you should no how to play at least 1 support. I say this, because chances are, you've had at least one good example of how to support. If you are an agressive support, then be agressive, unless you are behind, in which case that makes you die. If not, then play passively. Buy wards. I hate supports who don't get sight stone, because it is literally the most gold efficient item in the game, and wards win games. Plus it makes you decently tanky.

Mid. Play like the mid champ you are. Ryze doesn't just instakill people at lvl 6. Veigar does. Buy wards. It's not your support and jungles job to ward mid. I would highly advise watching a youtube video about ward placement if you haven't. Farm. Always farm everything. If you push the enemy to the tower, take your wraiths. If you have the enemy's wraiths warded, take those too. It won't hurt your jungler as much as it will help you. Yes, kills are good, but about 30 farm is equal to one kill, if the person hasn't died and lowered their value. That is about 5 whole waves. Technically it's a little less cuz the cannon one but still. The point where you know you are farmin well is about 100 every 10 minutes. Don't worry if you aren't doing this well. It's not an easy thing to do. Just try to do it. This goal goes for all farming lane champs. Another universal lane rule is if you are going to back, and the enemy already has or is dead, push it to their tower if it is safe to, so they loose that xp and gold to tower. This will help get you ahead.

Jungle. Not my best role, but I know what makes a good jungler. Firstly, you are not about babysitting your feeding lane. That will backfire 90% of the time. Nothing is more demoralizing than giving the already 5/0 top laner a double when you try to gank. Your actual job is to take objectives. Objectives are buffs, both yours and the enemies, dragon, and turrets/inhibs. If your support isn't warding dragon after the 10 minute mark, do it yourself. You're probably thinking, why gank if your goals are to take those objectives. Killing the enemy opens up the opportunity to take these objectives. If you kill the enemy mid, and your lane is comfortable with it, get as much damage on the tower as you can. If you manage to double kill the bot lane, take the tower or dragon. If you kill the jungler, or he shows on the other side of the map, go steal his jungle. All of these things, not only give your team gold, but deny it of the enemy, which is almost more important.

Hope this helps ya. If anyone has any disagreements, then feel free to tell me in a reasonable manner.
