I'm probably not seeming valid at all seeing as I'm still in Silver 1 and like I said I believe someone can carry themselves out of solo queue but man the teams I've been getting have just been horrid. I don't say anything in-game except encouraging to buy wards, urging people on when they do good and giving people on my team tips when they're doing somewhat bad.
I'm all for cooperation and team play to win solo queue games but my teams never agree with me, usually when they don't agree I just put them on mute or ignore them.
Literally, the solo/duo queue community in League of Legends is so toxic it disgusts me. I was supporting as Leona and I was going 0-1-2 in lane while my ADC was going 0-5, I tried to encourage my team to not give up and the Varus was threatening to afk and I told him to stay and we could play more passive, he feeds another three kills and I say nothing bad to him and him, along with four other people which I assume were spectating the game all added/messaged me telling me to kill myself and that I'll be stuck in Silver forever. If that isn't a bad community I really don't know what is.
It's not even necessarily being nice to your team, just not being rude. And if they are the largest jackasses on earth, you just play the game silently. Don't mute them, just don't get drawn in to the insults and back and forth ragefest. If they improve their behavior, great; if they don't, doesn't matter. The game will end, and you get on with your life.
A lot of players get angry if you try to tell them what to do. I try to remain as silent as possible, and only suggest generic things as questions. Like "can i have blue?" or "dragon?", simple things that are unlikely to piss anybody off. If somebody needs to back because they're gonna get ganked, I just ping them to back, then ping where I think the enemy is coming from. If they don't listen, I don't berate them. I assume the message got through. If they complain I didn't say anything in chat, I ignore the comment. They're looking for a reason to blame their lack of map awareness. Chances are, if they didn't notice it on the map, they wouldn't have noticed it in chat anyways.
If I need to make any comment on the player for routinely doing something wrong, I always phrase it as neutral as possible, while still being firm. I hate doing it, because I know I risk starting a death spiral of hate, but it's an option of last resort. If they keep face checking bushes, "please don't walk into a bush if you don't know where the enemy is" or "please place a ward in that bush before you enter it".
Basically, don't assume your team is a bunch of braindead morons, and they typically will not play like a bunch of braindead morons. And if they do, why should I give a fuck? Statistical likelihood is that the enemy team has just as many braindead morons on it as my team. Eventually I'll get what I want through perseverance.

Still doesn't change the fact that the League community is toxic. If I'm nothing but nice to my entire team and even encouraging them when they achieve an objective or the latter, and all they do is spam all chat with "so and so is so fucking retarded, report gg please" and "im going afk fuck this noobs on my team fuck fuck scrubs noob" then there's nothing I can do about that.
It's not even worth arguing about, nobody can say that the League community is good, it's like that for all Moba/AoS games. It seems like I'm complaining, which I kind of am, but nothing I can do, including staying silent, will get me away from the people that I've been matched up. Literally I have been with the most toxic of toxic players I have experienced in the last four years of me playing.
All of your points are correct and that's the attitude every player should have, and it's the attitude I try to keep in every game I play, but yeah, you get some people that seem like they're trying to ruin the game for everybody.
(**Just had someone in one of my solo queues lock in teemo jungle even though he was last pick and he said "i said i was mid/top/feeding and i didn't get mid or top so fuck you guys i don't care**)
