I've had games as Malzahar who I generally end up at least 3-1 KDA on that I end up 3-10-2 with crap for CS because our top lane jax decides he wants to troll and follow me everywhere all game burning abilities to take creep and blues but runs off whenever I engage the enemy.
There are always bad games, and the consistency you get them at, especially during placement matches, largely affects your solo queue elo if you are someone like me who might do 150 solo queue per season. On the other hand it's possible to get lucky and play against those teams, having the jungler who assists you in lane, or the laners who actually notice and help you when you duel in the jungle. It's just as possible to get one as it is the other.
PS: I think I speak for a good majority of players when I state that I would rather play with a 1400 nice guy than a 1900 D-bag, especially since the nice guy will be far more willing to use teamwork than try and steal everything for themselves and just 'clean up' fights.
