I can no longer win in ranked

I am not even going to blame anyone either. I can't. It isn't my team, it isn't me. It is a combination. It's so bad at this point that everyone, including me, is feeding. The best part about this is that I try; if someone were to look at my match history they would probably say otherwise, but I have to say I am trying my damn heart out. No matter what though, someone feeds, someone doesn't play well, nobody wards (actually there was one game where I was supporting and I threw many wards down, but it meant nothing because everyone played poorly), nobody cooperates; it is just loss after loss after loss after loss. There was even a game where I had an Akali on my team and she fed....SHE FED. Doesn't Akali pretty much mean win if she is picked?

I can't even be called someone that doesn't take responsibility for my actions; so if anyone responds to this look: EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF, IS FEEDING, PLAYING POORLY, ETC. IT ISN'T ME BASHING MY TEAM, I AM INCLUDING MYSELF IN THIS PILE OF SHIT I CALL A TEAM.

There isn't even a single teammate that will assume the role as carry. Everyone plays badly. We don't have a single person playing well. I don't know what happened. One moment I was winning games and promoted to bronze 1 with lp to spare, the next moment I am damn near back to bronze 3 after a horrid loss streak.

There is no purpose to this post, I just felt like saying this.

Should honestly take breaks after x amount of losses back to back, for me that's 2~3 losses depending on how bad it was, you don't have to stop playing, just go play normals and practice or a dominion/w.e.

You should probably play normals if you can't win anymore in ranked. If you want to keep going up at a faster pace in ranked at least. From what you've said, I feel you've hit your current "peak" for your skill atm. You should probably play normals to try and get better and when you feel you are doing well enough, go back into ranked.

Also, I looked at your match history. I might get flamed for saying this, but I feel you need to play "better" champions. It is true that certain champions are just overall better.

I see you are playing Vayne a lot, but I feel you should probably switch to Graves, Corki, or Tristana because they have an easier time laning wise then Vayne. Vayne has one of if not the WORST laning phases in the game, so I feel you are only making the game harder for yourself by playing her. I personally love Ezreal, but I know I'd have to try HARDER to go up with him then playing one of those 3, which is why I don't play him anymore.

For Yorick, I suggest picking something else up. He is really only good when you have a hypercarry like Ryze or Cassiopia or Vayne that he can ult and let them keep pumping out dmg after death. Outside of that, he is just a lane dominant champion who doesn't transition well into the late game, which is why you don't see him played often. I say go back to Gnar or try Ryze.

If you want to go up in ranked I feel you have two choices right now. If you want to keep using your current champion pool, you have to improve your gameplay. Get better at your mechanics(last hitting/harassing/etc...) and your in game decisions(when to innitiate and roam). This is the only way you'll be able to go up with your current champion pool. Overall you will need to do this ANYWAYS if you can't go up any higher anyways. The second option is to play higher tier champions. Just looking at your match history, the only things I see that are high tier(that I know of) are Gnar and Rek'Sai. I'm assuming you haven't been playing them since they have been banned, but you can increase the amount of higher tier champions you play to the other roles you play as well. This is the easier way to go up until you hit a cap with your current skill, in which point you'll have to go back to my first choice and keep repeating until you can't go any higher. Hope this helps.

Just letting you know, Akali isn't that great anymore. After the 5.2 nerfs, she went from 51% winrate to 44% making her the 10th worst champion in terms of winrate.

Take a break from ranked for a few weeks, maybe even LoL for a few days. I did that multiple times, every single time i felt more motivated to play the game than before and could play better as result, also it lessened my focus on bad things that my team did and instead made me focus on the positive things.
