hey everyone! recently i'v started playing a lot of ranked, hoping to get out of bronze at least, but so far, after about 60 games, i didn't get 100 lp even once. now i wonder, what do i do? like, i win a game, then lose 2, and then win one again, and so on, its a never ending cycle, and i dont know how to overcome it. i try playing safe, usually take the least damage from my team, depends on the match-up, and i get decent amounts of cs, usually a 100 by 17 mins or so, again, depends on a lot of things, sometimes id get 100 in 13 mins, but thats not the point. the thing is, i'v heard a lot of people saying that if you wont die a lot, and learn how to cs well, its a matter of time until you get out of bronze, but im wondering, if im doing all of that, and still cant even get into a series ONCE, what do i do wrong? do i play the wrong champions? do i play too safe? do i not communicate with the team? (which i am btw). its mind boggling and i dont know if i can keep playing this game if nothing comes out of it at the end of the day. i do no progress what so ever, and its just frustrating, its killing the fun of the game, because i know that im capable of playing well, but i cant succeed for w.e reason it is. what do i do from here?

If you are winning your lane ie 10 or more cs up, 1-2 kills, and a level advantage. Then you should easily win if you can rotate objectives and keep the game pace fast. Not dying do to good positioning and decisions is different than not dying because you are playing passively.

I guess that depends on what role you play. I'm on my phone right now so it's hard to say much about you specifically. I will say this. The reason people who cs well will win more is because they get more gold than those who can't cs well. They will hit power spikes sooner, such as BF on adc. However power spikes mean nothing if you don't do anything about it. A full build adc that doesn't bother to group, hit enemies, take objectives, ect are less useful than a half build adc who does these things. For cs to matter, you have to be able to make use of your gold lead. Especially before the enemy can catch up.

Well, have you identified your weaknesses yet? That, along with playing more normal matches than ranked matches for practice, is a fantastic place to start.
