You didn't carry.

you have to at some point realize that you're doing something wrong and understand that if you are playing at a higher level than your current rating, you will climb if you stop thinking the way you are now. not to mention, the other team you're facing is probably in a very similar predicament as you. obviously there will be games you can't win, no one is perfect, but the more negative emotions you throw into the balance of the solo queue scale, the worse that scale is going to balance out and eventually it's going to break and you're not going to go anywhere, you're going to drop

Ranking depends on what you do for the team, not what the team does to you.
