Everyone is a god compared to me.

So back in season 4 I played for the first time trying to get good at the game. Basically I learned to cs trade, and since nobody below gold 3 knew how to cs trade I went to gold 1 in a few weeks. I stopped playing back then in favor of starcraft 2.

Now I've been back for maybe 3-4 weeks of playing. Bronze players cs trade me every cs I take, supports harass constantly, bronze silver gold, they all have perfect cs. I feel like I need to be what used to be platinum in season 4, just to remain silver. I suck, I'm horrible. I don't know what to do, I get WRECKED every game.

I used to have fun playing league now it's just not fun any more. No matter how hard i try I can't improve. I'm watching all these videos and studying the game and trying so hard to learn and it's doing absolutely nothing. Every game my team gets wrecked and I can't carry because I'm so trash.

I love this game but I feel like I might as well quit and never play again if I'm going to be forever bad. I'm a competitive person and if I can't even compete whats the point? There is no way to get help in the game nobody is willing to help a person I even went to different sub reddits where free help is offered and nobody helps.

My record in ranked is like 9 wins 28 losses. How horrible is that? I don't know. I really want to get good but every thing I learn and try to implement is just not making a difference whatsoever in my game play. There's probably some simple solution but I'll never know it.

Remember that time you liked that girl. So you tried hard? You followed her everywhere so she would notice you, and know that you noticed her. You spoke to her every time you saw her, even if she was already engaged in a conversation with a group. You stood outside her window so she would feel safe that no one would break in and harm her.

You went to prison for that.

Morale of the story... don't try THAT hard.

You can try the CS Training Regime:

I also recommend playing a shit ton of ARAM if you don't feel like committing the energy.

EDIT: Since you main ADC, I recommend learning Miss Fortune, Jhin, or Jinx. They may be mostly immobile, but they are the best at teamfights and comebacks. Twitch has also come out of hiding, but he probably won't be strong for much longer.

Play easy champions and work on the basics and you will be diamond. No joke. Everyone actually just sucks as much as you probably na is really bad. As long as you can perfect the basics you actually cant lose games. Just play like jungle malphite or ww or some shit free wins.

You were good in season 4 and you're frustrated that everyone got better and as a result you're effectively at the bottom because you fell behind. Trust me, as someone who had to stop playing just before the start of season 1 and coming back this season, I know the feeling (sort of, I was shit before I stopped playing tbh). You gotta give yourself time though, and forgive yourself for your mistakes. Don't push yourself so hard that you're giving up because you don't get better quickly, a lot has changed from 4-6, so you're gonna have to take it one step at a time and learn how everything works little by little. Can you still CS well? If not, then practice it again. If so, then something else is giving you problems and you need to find out what before you can get better. Learning and implementing it right away is one thing, but repeated practice until it becomes natural is another.

I'm a competitive person

after that you should of said

and when i see a challenge i run from it and cry.

Cause that is all you are doing. You got lucking season 4 and placed high and probably got carried. Luck cases like that happen all the time. BEing able to repeat your preformance and earn your position is what matters.

You are a casual and should stay out of rank play.

Idk what you are talking about tbh. Bronze, silver, and gold players, even high diamond players do not have perfect cs. The lower ones are not even close.

When you were playing it may have been easier to climb perhaps. The player base has grown since then and there are 2 seasons of patches that you missed that did adjust the game, along with the creation of new items.

I don't know how much different the game was then, but I would say even from season 5 to 6 the game has change quite a bit in terms of the masteries, ADCs, and juggernauts.

The game probably just evolved a lot while you were not playing. I didn't start playing until the middle of season five, but I recognize noticeable changes since a year ago.

Also, I think the skill gap among players is not as pronounced. The game has been out for awhile, and other players who play regularly have likely improved if they continued to play. It is also easier to watch the pros or really good streamers to gain advice and/or tips to improve gameplay (twitch has transformed how players can learn the game).

You could also be rusty from not playing. A few of my friends take month long breaks from this game and they are terrible for a few weeks when they return.

Don't try so hard....doing research is fine but in the end, your playing style is unique to you.

It's due to smurfs and premades. Dynamic queue encourages smurfing, especially in large groups. You might have golds and plats in "bronze" or "silver" games trying to carry their friends.
