I seriously need someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong in this game.

I can not get out of Silver, and I understand I am where I deserve to be, but what throws me OFF is when I get to Silver 2(easily) then get demoted to S3 and S4 right after, I struggle to get right back to S2(literally the next day). I don't understand anymore, I've been playing this game long enough to be in Gold at least(I've beaten many Gold players and even questioned some Plat players that were in my game because they didn't seem that good) Theres people that have been playing this game for a year only and get to Gold. I don't understand why I can't if I put in the time. I watch the streams, analyzed my mistakes, etc. I am an extremely competitive player so trust me when I say i try to improve. I'm not saying thats enough to get me to Diamond, but I shouldve been in Gold with the amount of time I put in to this game of learning. I don't blame anyone else but me. I'm not telling you guys that I deserve to climb to very high elo but it frustrates me when theres people I KNOW im better than that are higher than me. Even if I wanted to get to SILVER 1. Why is it that hard? I've tried playing only 2 champions mid lane. I tried limiting, I tried expanding. Nothing seems to work. I am not cocky, I'm not full of myself, but when you KNOW you're better than someone thats higher than you, it pisses me off. Because I've tried playing 10 games a day, and I rarely go on tilt. Because I KNOW a challenger could've have carried this game so there's no reason to be mad because every game is winnable in high/low silver to challenger players, and that's my goal. I don't a **** if someone AFKS, i got my spotify playlist in the background im just chilling and trying to improve with every mistake. But I honestly don't even know anymore.

I got demoted from silver 1 to silver 2 4-5 times now and it seems like about to hit silver 3. It's got so bad to the point I'm so tilted that I hardly even care anymore. [zombie-brand-clap]

Your stats with Zed are better than mine with my main on my other account ( http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=Fizz%20Akabane ) and I (fking finally lol) got gold there too. So... looking at your win rate over 230 games... play more Zed? Or is there a reason you barely play him anymore? :o

Im finally gold after spending days back and fourth getting to gold promos than going to s4/s5 than climbing back up. In me opinion its part skill and part luck. Hoping your team is good as well.

you can get 20/5/5 stats as much games as you want, but the key to playing is knowing what actions to take as a team, what objectives to push. for example i was playing a game where enemy top lane got fed by a TON, i talking 1kill per min. But he refused to team and help his team with objectives, thus losing the game, even though he had a high score.

You have a 51% winrate its just a slump you need to play through. I'm in a similar boat i can get to my gold to plat promos then it almost seems like my games get incredibly more difficult.

A little note regardless of what the forum trolls are going to say tier doesn't mean shit. Back when i played with my IRL friends in 5v5s i would be put against diamond players and still win lanes/games without too many problems. To say you are clearly better than someone is a very cocky thing to say. Yes in a single game you performed better than another player but that doesn't quite mean you are better. this doesn't mean you are worse either especially because the game is based around the entire team not the individual player.

Something i learned while climbing that i still need to work on is knowing what exactly is a mistake. there are the obvious mistakes like miss positioning and dyng in lane blah blah blah. But there are also the less obvious mistakes that players especially in low elos don't think about or understand for example 1-3-1 split push or 1-4-0 split push pressuring objectives like baron and dragon to drag enemies away from towers.

-Many top laners have no clue how to use teleport properly 90% of the time its used just to get back into lane or it's used late to join a team fight they don't split push properly.

-Another mistake that everyone makes is the lack of willingness to die. There are situations were you dying is best for the team most commonly you will see this done from a support but it applies to everyone assuming you know when it's right.

-Knowing when to concede objectives is probably one of the most difficult choices for most players to make. Due to how scary baron/elder drake you will see often that people dance around those areas even though the chances of doing anything productive is near 0. I bet if you think within the last 10 games you play either you or someone on your team was going to check on an objective your team had no control or vision over and died KNOWING that the enemy team was going to be there.
