If you far outrank your opponents (and team) you can carry with whatever role you chose. For example, I was playing as Soraka to support our AD carry, it became evident that our AD ranged carry was trash and the rest of my team wasn't going to pick up the slack. So I went nuke Soraka and carried my team to victory. Good news: I won, and my rank went up. Bad News: So did that terribad Caitlyn.

I can roll Poppy in anything below 1300 and easily get 20+ kills. . . .solo. That's because she is my personal best character. (Screw all these guys that say pick Character X and just win . .sorry no dice if it isn't your playstyle don't play it.)

Lastly, if you are so arrogant as to believe you are in the wrong spot then pick your best character despite team comp. You should be able to solo your team to victory. However, if you fail that is because you ARE NOT that much better. Face the facts. In a horrible unlucky streak (Which happens, that's something you just have to live with sometimes as well.) I dropped below 900. I chose Poppy despite the trolling and the bitching and climbed my way to over 1300. 1400 is probably my actual rank. At that point I start to miss queues from my team. and my position is a bit off. But I can at least recognize my flaws which is more than most people bitching about elo Hell.
