This isn't the real problem. If everyone was on the same page and playing well, and you still lost, would it be nearly as frustrating? (It would be somewhat frustrating, sure, but it would be dialed way back.)
No, the problem with League is that all five players on a team can leave a lost team fight thinking "if they'd played how I wanted, we would have won that one", all five having a different plan in mind... And all five are correct.
The game frustrates people the way it does because they can construct an almost-true narrative where every loss is because of their teammates, while all their teammates are doing the same.
