(TL;DR at the bottom :D)

So I play Garen (I know people will say that's where I'm going wrong, but I'm still learning so he is the only champion i've been playing, got him rank 6 already :D) I have yet to lose my lane, 'ive gone even, and i've won, that's it, my KDA is always positive too. https://gyazo.com/bd5a4784aa0d67ec8482bf769d398f1a.png https://gyazo.com/507845c30ffaa2a29710a691f16ea439.png ) I always try my very hardest to win but most of these games seem unwinnable from the get-go, either my other lanes will just chimp out and lose horribly, making it really hard for me, or I just don't have enough damage to kill all 5 of them in a fight. and what sucks is, I always seem to be our MAIN damage source, and I HATE THAT, that's one BIG reason why I play Garen, he is a fighter, he does solid damage, but there is no pressure on you to be dealing that damage I'm just supposed to kind of be there and absorb the damage and stuns for my ranged assassins.

One thing people have said was that my builds were bad, I'm assuming they either mean my runes and my masteries, or they mean my items, either one, I feel like it gives me the stats I need to kill and survive, if anyone cares, here are my runes and my masteries (my build is usually situational but I always build The Black Cleaver, because it makes me shred people :D) Rune Page https://gyazo.com/1da0b91e4338dd5900afd4719d02fbed.png And My masteries (I use the second one 90% of the time :P) https://gyazo.com/44d86797d5fa7162670114d24c341ce3.png , https://gyazo.com/f83630981e8b1a9073f41ec38e4680ce.png https://gyazo.com/756daa6623b8840f985d57fb1831b1c3.png)

Just so people can see where my mind is at I guess I always buy The Black Cleaver (for previously mentioned reasons), I buy Sunfire Cape when they are building armour against me, since it gives me multi-typed Damage, Spirit Visage when they have an Magic damage Threat or when they have a lot of Poke, Deadman's Plate for chase and more damage, it also helps versus Attack damage threats, Randuins Omen Versus Yasuo and if they have a Strong Ranged Assassin, Righteous Glory when my team lacks engage, Steraks Gage when I want more damage and they have a lot of burst, Death's Dance when they have alot of mixed sustain AND burst damage, it also gives me a lot of damage, Youmuu's Ghostblade is just a really fantastic item in my eyes, It gives Lethality, Attack Damage AND the movement Speed active, which helps chase or run away, I build that most of the time, Trinity force when my team is REALLY lacking damage and if I already purchased a Steraks Gage, because I was told they are really good together (still haven't been told why, but I trust people :P) Phantom Dancer when I want to duel and defend versus minions, or if I'm struggling to combo people (for what ever reason, bad game or they are just too fast to weave the extra auto attacks in) Also the critical strike chance is really fun too :D and the boots depend on if I'm sucking at blocking their Stuns and whatnot with my W or if they have a lot of auto attackers.

TL;DR I suck and I want help ;-;

PS. Sorry about the formatting, I'm new here and I just feel like this makes sense to me, if its really THAT bad, let me know and ill be happy to make adjustments to suit your liking :D

you are a new account, your account is subjected to squishy pliable MMR gains and losses trying to quickly place you high or low. when you win a lot early the system places you higher up than potentially where you may or may not belong.

https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ELWYNN+%C6%91

looking at your total wins and losses i counted 24 wins. 23 losses. you seem to have 50-50.

in terms of recent games played however, (your record of the latest 10 games) you are 2-8 which is pretty bad tbh, however there are games out of your control, and there are unwinnable situations such as direct counterpicks or outscaled, maybe the enemy team was just diamond smurfs, you dont know, which is why recent history isn't the best thing to go by.

however looking at your stats and reasonable KDA's it suggests you played ok but you lost anyway, and those games happen.

the only thing you can do at this point is to keep playing and let the RNG matchmaking wheel be generous. its not you, its the nature of the game, even players like bjerg and qtpie go on 10+ loss streaks sometimes and make their way back to D2. for no good reason.

its also entirely possible that the system simply placed you too high too early to the point where you no longer could compete or just assert your mechanic skills to win the game anymore.

I always try my very hardest to win but most of these games seem unwinnable from the get-go

You seem to have a very static build. Are there games where you go ZZ'Rot or item 3190?

Garen works best if you build damage while ahead, and tank while behind. If you're ahead on farm and kills, sure, go ahead and build that BC. But if you're behind, sit back, build a Spirit Visage, Deadmans, or Sunfire, and try to farm up. Never build anything with mana attached. At all. Never. It's a dead stat for you and even spellblade passive isn't worth wasting the money for a stat you don't use. If you continue to remain ahead, go ahead and build another damage item. Youmuus, DD, Titanic Hydra, and even Dusk blade are all legitimate damage items you can build depending on the situation. Also stick with three different boots: Mercury Treads, Ninja Tabi, and Boots of Swiftness. Mercs for cc/ap heavy team comps, ninja for auto attack/ad heavy team comps, and swiftness for comps with little hard cc. Garen is amazing at both split pushing and dueling brusiers and tanks. He's also passable at assassinating squishies, but only if they're your villain and you can stick with them. Being a juggernaut, your job is to punch the front line and get to the squishies all while tanking for your team.
