Title. I've been stuck in Shit 5 for a while, without really knowing what I can actually do like a competent human being outside of the other things I play like some sort of mentally retarded ape-fish hybrid. I know that I have not the slightest clue on how to carry a game when every member on your team is feeding, and I'm honestly at a loss on how to improve at this point.

Edit: Thank you all so much for your help, I'm definitely going to work on my csing in normals for a while before I go back to ranked.

Ummmm.... Looking at your LOLking.net page

Looking at your stats it appears you prefer going Jungler. With that I see you love playing Zac. That's awesome, a good Zac can wreck and snowball lanes very hard. Especially with a Yasuo wombo combo.

Second, I'm looking at who you've played the most: Gnar, Ekko, Shen, Vel Kosby, Zac.

I'm assuming you're trying to break out of the Jungle phase because it gets boring by just playing the same champ over and over again. Understandable, but if you're good at something. Do it.

Thirdly, (and who am I to talk, I'm a Silver 5 scrub) your CS isn't that good with some champs. (Darius, Fizz matchups)

~~Don't focus so much on killing the champion, instead, focus on farming more and not missing cs waves. If you can get..... 70-80 cs by the 10 minute mark you're doing something right~~

You only have 2 rune pages. Looking at them I would probably take a look at varying between.... 4 champions around your rune pages that you feel you can work with. (I like looking at MOBAFIRE guides to get a general idea how to play a certain champion where. Runes n Masteries, etc)

Focus on runes and rune pages first, if you can live with spending a bit of cash. Buy rune pages when they go 2 for 1 sale next season. I'd also save your IP for if and when runes ever go on sale for 25% off.

In conclusion, you're on the right path. Step up your farming more. Farm is more important than chasing a kill. I try to live by a 5 second rule: I can't get it within 5 seconds, not worth my time.

Don't get in the mentality of chasing the enemy, even if you get the rush of it. (There are scenarios where you will want and need to. But not between the timers 0:00 - 20:00.)

Don't quote me though.

Final word of advice, Silver is no different than Bronze. I'm a leg up, sure. But I can't get up there more. Stuck in Silver ELO....

~ Communication is key. Pinging, Voicechat, etc~

Good luck, I'll see you on the rift!

Im no pro but Usually play less mechanically involved champs (annie, WW, most tanks, ect.) since there isn't much counter play to them. Personally I find that Op for lower elo but boring for me to do.

play normals, git gud at a role or a couple of champs, then go to ranked. always play defensive at the beginning unless your champion is aggressive. ward. buy runes. get bronze 3 then rage cuz you still suck.

I started playing near end of 2014, took nearly a year to get into silver. then Season 6 came. things got reset. back to bronze after 10 placement games, like expected. but this time it only took a month to get back into silver. Its honestly more easier than you think. Step 1-Pick 2 lanes. Step 2- Play a few champions in those lanes and get GOOD (in normals) Step 3- win your lane. Step 4. win your teammates lanes. step 5 DONT FLAME. itll happem ;)

Well, idk what to say since s6 meta is so fuckin trash. Right now I'm gold 4, got S2 in provs and also an Ex-Plat, but i still can't even rank up my b4 smurf.

you want to work on csing in lane, and knowing when to gank. Maybe you could try getting a sightstone when you jungle for added vision (if you're playing a tanky jungler) Try to work on knowing where the enemy jungler is and what to do with that knowledge.
