Hi everyone, I just would like to get some tips right before the new season comes. I am a bronze 5 scrub, and for next season i just want to improve. Recently I got to bronze 4, and I just went on a big losing streak and got to bronze 5. I know I am bad, but sometimes when I play games, I just feel that I have no impact when I am fed, and when I am feeding all the hate is on me. I roam, and I try to ward around objectives, but I feel that it is really hard to play from behind.

*If you look at my match stats i do decently. The only issue with me that I feel is that I give first blood. The only reason I have a decent kda is bdue ot teamfighting and catching people out.

Regards, TSA unityinstall

Positioning is VERY important. It will make or break your performance on champs like . Watch some videos on youtube and study the different stances. (farming stance, trading stance, etc.)
Map awareness OP. Make it a habit to constantly check your mini-map every couple seconds. It's a little easier when playing support and jungle but there's some very key stuff that can cost you a death or grab you a kill. Did their mid lane zed just vanish into the jungle heading your way? He's probably coming to kill your butt, get back to turret. See the enemy jungler head towards your red buff? Ping your team and go kill him. You can also save your allies all the time if you see someone heading to gank them and you ping it, odds are they might've not been looking at the map.
Wards, wards, wards. This kinda goes along with map awareness but i don't care what role you're playing, buy pink wards. Keep an eye on your trinket CD and be moving into position a few seconds before it comes up so you can have it placed right away. Vision denial is also important but at b5 most people aren't warding anyways. Another little warding trick i like to do is drop a ward on the enemy chicken camp so if their jungler smites it for the buff, it immediately gets popped.
Farm is life. Screw kills. Screw trading. Just put your head down and farm your ass through lane. Instead of aiming to kill your enemy laner, look to deny him farm. Zone him from getting minions. Make your goal 100cs by 10 minutes every game and keep track of your averages, you'll notice your performances getting better the closer you get to that goal. Instead of going for kills, see how far ahead you can get in cs. If you can deny your enemy farm, you can make him close to useless when teamfights roll around.
Learn how to lose lane. There are gonna be people who are just better than you, respect it. If you're playing bot lane and CC's the crap out of you and gets his ADC the kill, that's gonna happen again the second you get back to lane if you aren't careful. Respect his zone and lose some farm, that's okay. Once your tower goes down you can freeze the lane and try to catch up in farm. The game becomes unwinnable when you tell yourself "Oh he just got lucky, no way that will happen again." That's how you go 0/9 in lane and unleash an INCREDIBLY fed enemy upon your team. I started doing much better when i could quickly identify if someone was just straight up better than me and learn to mitigate the damage. Don't be that guy who does 4 times in a row and comes back thinking "Oh i can definitely get him this time!"
Play champs that can solo carry because more often than not, you're gonna have to. these guys can take a small lead and completely take over a game with it. Certain champs carry in different styles (splitpush, aoe damage, single target burst, etc) learn which style suits you and your current situation the best and keep that in mind during champ select.

Good Luck this season my friend.

Stop playing mechanically difficult champions. You do not have the mechanical skill to play champions like Lee Sin, Ahri, Fizz, Zed and Thresh. Because you are playing champions with such a high "skill floor" most of your attention is spent just trying to control the champion rather than focusing on CSing, map awareness, etc.
Your CS scores are incredibly low. You need to go into custom games against a bot (or no one at all) and just practice CSing. You should be shooting for 35 CS by 5 minutes.
Your KDA is pretty good but your damage to champions is very low compared to your kills and KDA. It should be much higher for the number of kills and assists you are getting. This leads me to believe that you are being too conservative but its really hard to tell without watching your videos. Its definitely something to keep an eye on. Ask yourself after a team fight if you truly did everything right that you could have done.

LS has some great videos that you might enjoy. He's the former coach of Gravity. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWIfnDrWU_Cvc1a8qZribhA

Alternatively, you can check out some of my videos and compare how you play to how I play. I'm currently Silver (though climbing rapidly) so it'll give you a good comparison of where you need to be to get to next level. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2EZm50wNGmfJal7IHM_b8Q
