Only seem to be getting worse at league

Started in S3 and Support was my main role. I mained Sona for quite a while then got into jungling as Pantheon then Udyr. Took me a while to reach 30 for some reason. I've never been a great player but with my main I can easily win lane. Although over the past 3 months it seems my playing has gone down hill. Last game I had as Panth was 0/8/1. I don't know why I'm doing so bad these days. I've been in 100+ custom bot games trying to improve after hitting 30. I've got to the point that even if I'm trying hard I still get flamed then reported.

Should I just give up and uninstall? I've tried everything to improve but nothing is helping

its not number of games, its practicing good habits.

you have to learn the most advantageous things to do, and do them. i bet as pantheon you're trying to chase too mobile of a target, or you're getting exh and then grouped up on. when pantheon is a better invader (when bots have no jungle) and great at making 2v1 situations (bot lanes already won, top lane becomes 2v2, leaving just mid lane).

basically you gotta learn the stuff you're supposed to do, the best advice is to watch a high ranking streamer and just mimic what they do on a champion that you want to play. they eventually explain what they're doing on occasion and you learn from them.

With panth like everygame people flame me from like 5mins to gank even tho I'm only like level 2. Then get flamed and my team dies. It's like I can't do anything right.

I try to watch people who are better than me but it's hard to find people who play the champs I play like panth or sona or illaoi. Most pros/ god tier streamers play really difficult champions like LeBlanc/Irelia etc. I used to watch trick2g for udyr plays but even the basic stuff he does get me killed, counter jungled and shut down at level 5.

Most of them are just top lane and the jungle ones have no commentary. Maybe panth isnt viable for my tier anymore

PLAY TO GET BETTER don't worry about winning, that will come with getting better....

420MemeLord69May 30, 20161 votes

I try. Today had 3 games lost one but won 2 but got carried all the way. I play to get better but I seem to be getting worse. I focus hard and watch replays to see where I went wrong but still keep getting camped, one shotted and other annoying stuff.

Practice freezing your lane so you can farm safely...

420MemeLord69May 30, 20161 votes

I do but everyone just seems to by way better than me to a point where I'm not even having fun. Might as well uninstall

I see a lot of Sona, are you maining support? If so, try using Lux Morgana or Nami they have more reliable CC and disengage...

420MemeLord69May 30, 20161 votes

I main support because its the only role that I don't completely suck at. I have Morgana but dont have any IP or RP to get new champions

Kempachi TaichouMay 30, 20161 votes

Morgana Q: Don't spam it, save it for engages and disengages. W: This is my spam spell, use it to zone opponents away from minions, or to help push a wave. E: Very situational only prevents magic damage, but also stops roots stuns and hooks. R: Team fight spells, don't waste it on a single champ if you can kill them another way.

Play meta champs, low skill floor helps.

420MemeLord69May 30, 20161 votes

I try but I cant learn all these different champs. I can sorta play malphite, darius, mundo, garen.

You should practice in normals. Bots are too easy.

See I do until people rage, flame then report me for feeding or trolling. EU West is so cancerous

Well, you're aging. Your reaction speed is slowing. You might also have more responsibilities and distractions now that prevent you from playing/practicing as much. ALSO the recent trends in the game have changed this a LOT and quickly. It's hard to keep up with all the new changes to champs, new buffs and nerfs, new meta and the new overloaded champs being tossed out pretty frequently. Back in the day, panth was a brutal lane bully. Now, he gets shit on by half of the people who go top because he's not brimming with utility, mobility, % damage and endgame scaling. It's a different game now... and I would argue, a worse one.

I've noticed the same thing. I have been at level 30 for a while (well over 18months) and my playing style hasn't changed. I remember my first game as Pantheon. He clicked with me and I stomped lane hard then took him jungle and was amazed by it. But my playing style doesn't fit the way Rito has taken league. I won't quit playing because I still have the odd game that I find a way to domintate as one of my old mains ( DrMundo Sona ). I just think my time with league is closing after nearly 4 years. It was good whilst it lasted

The WhamboozlerMay 30, 20161 votes

I dunno... between this awful trends in the game and the terrible community I hate the game more than I enjoy it these days. Half my friends list has already left for new things because they felt the same. Prob gonna join them soon.

Playing bots continuously actually hurts you in the long run, since bots don't take advantage of your mistakes. After a while, you start to get bad habits that a real player will exploit against you.

The only way to improve at this point is to unlearn those bad habits and keep losing until you figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it.

420MemeLord69May 30, 20161 votes

THose 100+ bot games were to improve my last hitting, wall flashing and little thing like that but if I honest I'm probably gonna quit. Every normal I play is more aggravating and cancerous than fun. Maybe it's my playing habits or maybe it's all the changes that have happened over this past year. But yeah probably not gonna carry on playing it anymore
