I've been playing for around a yearish just under a year now and have average 15-30 more losses than wins all the time I can seem to get my W/L positive and I really don't wanna enter ranked until it's positive. I solo'Q alot so it may just be I get alot of bad randoms? but I think it has something to do with the way I play which I really don't understand I think personally I play fine. I ward constantly I help other lanes my plays are fine. sure I get that odd game or two that I keep making obvious mistakes but it doesn't seem like it'd be enough from stoping me going positive in W/L. (If you look at my match history take note my last leona game I was getting extremely bad lag I was averaging 1.5K ping for some reason) I just came to get your opinions. I do sorta have a main (sorta) I play mostly tanky characters and am testing the waters of each of them so that could also be it :\

I have spent the past month or so trying to improve on me and I had figured I'd gotten to a comfortable level I average around 2-300 CS for a 40-50 minutes game whenever I do lane (I mostly support) so I figured i'd focus more on helping others aswell so we can win more than just one game. Thanks for the advice :) I'll look at more of them and practice better

And usually if I don't end up winning I never really "lose" lane

i lose a lot in normals too because we have a way different mentality than when we play ranked. i have more wins in normals than losses, but still, i fuck around in normals and do things that i wouldn't do in ranked because i don't care if i win.

most people do the same thing in norms. nobody tries as hard as they do in ranked. if you want to see if you're good enough for ranked, do 10 matches and see how many you win. try as hard as you would in ranked.

that's how the provisional system works for soloq. if you win more than 5 of those matches out of 10, i think you're ready for ranked.

Depends on what you consider bad, if you're asking, then you probably already kind of consider yourself a bit bad. Don't worry though, that's a good thing, once you realize you're bad you can start correcting the things that are making you bad.

You could just accept that you are not good and play ranked as a way of learning. People generally try harder in ranked so you can probably improve quicker.. If you don't think you are a high ranked player to begin with, i wouldn't let a low rank disappoint you. Just look to improve.

I never considered myself high ranked but I seriously don't wanna end up in bronze if it's as bad as I hear it is

Its only bad if you are as bad as the players in it. If you are better than bronze, you will climb out no problem.
