You're correct that this is a very team dependent game...but that absolutely does not mean you can't carry your team to a high MMR. There is a reason why you see all the professional players on Blizzards Top 200 MMR list, and that is because they have found ways to carry the type of players you describe.
If what you were saying was 100% correct then you would see some pros with 1500 MMR (because their teammates suck) etc.
But realistically you don't ever see anything close to that.
This. Certain heroes can carry harder than other, especially against players who suck.
Nova is a good example. Ridiculous burst for 1 shotting squishies who break away from the team to do something stupid. Triple tap reset can clean up 1v5 if they don't do the smart thing and kill nova/avoid the reset.
Picking a champ like chen and expecting to carry a game is silly. Chen can be a great tank and absorb a lot of damage, but won't carry a game with shit teammates who can't capatalize on your ability to almost tank 5 people and walk out like a boss.
Chen just a random example, of course.
