the same way all the players who are achieving rating do, by playing well enough to compensate these teammates man
those kind of players youre describing are also your opponents, 1decentplayer+2newbies VS 3newbies would mean you should be gaining rating
your teammates change every game, you are the only thing that doesnt change, you are the only constant factor continuously influencing your own matches
according you look at the highest ratings achieved on the ladder at the end of a season to compare yourself to, and that you actively played at peak hours during that whole season, then that ending rating number you have is an appropriate representation of how skilled you played on average, my opinion
