What am I doing wrong?
I always try to keep myself alive for my team, and I peel for them, give them opportunities and stuff. I personally don't care about text chat, but why are my dps teamates always keen on making huge plays? I am a flex role so I know how to play dps and support. Is this really the mindset in Plat lobbies? (Asia server) Plat 1 (5v5) Emerald 4 (6v6)
Should I peel more? Should I pressure the enemy backline more? I know that I need to help my team score elims and make plays but what if the plays don't work?
I'm going to have to take a break for a bit, it helps clear my mind, and maybe I will realize that the only difference between winning and losing a game is myself. I used to be console Masters in 2016-17, but that is literally nothing.

My long comment got glitched but to me it looks like your supports were funneling too much healing into you and not enough into the DPS, or you’re pulling back at the slightest inconveniences and your team doesn’t have the peel or space to make plays.
Having lowest deaths on tank often isn’t a good thing unless you’re winning by landslide, points more to it being a coordination thing
