I am not a good player. i am currently sitting in silver 5 with 2 lp. i do not belong here. i have been playing since season 3, played my first ranked game in season 4 and have always been bronze. i dont know what i have to do to improve, i "main" adc and i almost always get out farmed, out poked, im losing every trade, i dont know when to rotate mid, when to teamfight when to take dragon my game knowledge is awful, and i find myself losing almost every ranked game i play.

my lolking if it even matters: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/53259483

i have watched guides, i have watched streams, i try to do what they say i should do to improve but i just cant do it, i am just bad at the game. the enemy team are way more coordinated. i dont want to quit this game, i want to improve! i just dont know how :(

Sounds like you've hit a roadblock. I suggest a duo partner who normally ADCs and can give you tutorials on how to play as the game advances. As for farming, sounds like you need a lot of bot practice.

This game is probably 75% farming, 20% engagement/positioning, 5% luck. At least in "dynamic" queue.

The first thing to do - honestly and truly - is to assume that you DO belong where you're currently placed. The reason for this is mindset. If you can acknowledge that yes, you are a Silver-tier player, you can move forwards from there without worrying about where you should be.

After that, take an honest look at your own play. Whenever you die, take a moment to reflect on how it happened and how you might have been able to prevent it. Did you push out too far without wards? Did you engage without your ultimate? Were you behind on levels or items? Make sure that, in these analyses, that you're always focused on your actions, never someone else's.

Another thing that helps is talking to yourself aloud in-game and saying what you're doing. If you're botlane farming minions, why are you farming minions then? Is there anything else you could be doing at that moment? If you're roaming top, why are you roaming top? Is it for a gank? Is it to clear a wave? Is there anything more important than those actions that you could be doing? Staying aware of your own actions in the game is a good way to root out bad behaviors.
