Any high Elo players willing to play a few normal games with unranked?

Hello! I am a fairly new and unranked jungler. I started a couple months ago. I'm not a salty bronze player, but I like to play tank cc jungles, and I just can't carry with them because my team weighs me down. I never played ranked, but in normals, I mostly get paired with silvers and sometimes gold. but when I go in a game of bronze people in normals, they just feed so much.

So, I am very open about this topic. is it me? or is it my team? I know I'm losing for a reason.but I just can't find that reason. So, is there anyone that is preferably diamond or high plat, that I can play normals (not ranked haha) with for a few games? I want to see how viable my skills are in high Elo normals. I will probably end up with gold people since I'm unranked, but I need to know how good I actually am, or is it me that is weighting my team down. P.S I don't play that much, but rather watch pro play, since playing smarter is better than playing harder To sum it up, any high Elo players nice enough to friend me and play a couple like 1 or 2 normal games with me? Its normal, not ranked.. Greatly appreciated :D I am open to any criticisms about my gameplay btw

Unfortunaly i'm not in NA [sg-janna]

Checking your op.gg, maybe you would prefer to pick Press the atack in Reksai. Just think that it increase the damage someone get by all the founts, not only you. So if you gank someone, you will increase your damage but also the damage of your laner (So it will become more useful than electrocute). I dont play reksai but, hasnt she any mechanic for cancel the autoatack reset? Some champs can abuse it, with Camille for example, you have to do AA and after you do the damage, make the Q as fast as possible, instead of a directly Q, so you do 2 autoatacks in the time of one. Practice that.

Also practice how many time u need to deal damage with your autoatack before the animation ends. There's always some time between you do the damage and your animation ends, and you can cancel the animation walking after you do the damage.

Know your match ups and how play against them, a really good movement you can do is to place a ward in the oposite side you're going to begin as jungler (I'm telling you jungler tips bcs i see that it's what you have played in your last games), so you can know where enemy jungler is (This is track the enemy jungler), and act knowing it. They have to do the crab because it's so important at jungle after 8.10, if you can win the 1 vs 1 AND your midlaner has lane priority, you can go for it.

For example, you want to force fights against evelynn at early game, since she's weak before get items. In the other hands, you dont want to force fights against Xin zhao, because he'll destroy you. So if you see the evelynn going to top crab, you can go to fight her there. And if you see the xin zhao going there, you can take bot side crab (And if he hasnt botside blue, steal it, since he will invade you after do the crab)

Know what lane u have to gank. You got a Riven top against an immobile champ? There you got a free gank. Riven is a snowball champ, so if you get her ahead, she will be able to destroy her lane. With time, you will understand which champs are early game and which are late game, it will help you to know what lanes gank (Try to always gank Mid + other one, dont try to gank the three)

Guess this information will help you, I almost reached Dia 2 this season in EUW Solo queue, until Jungle get fucked up for me (So i've had to move to Mid, as you should do tbh xD) Good luck!

first of all tank junglers aren't really good at your skill level with few exceptions and the better ones aren't really good for beginners so its actually both since you are making the terrible choice of trying to fill a gap and supporting players that can't follow up anyway. you're not wrong about bronizes so at least your perspective there is correct.

basically low elo has its own little submeta sometimes pro play is aliens to low elo. even in champion select if you have enough players wasting bans on unfeasible high elo meta picks you're leaving yourself open to more realistic threats like Zoe, Udyr, and Yi. also, sometimes the meta is actually anti-winning as pyke jungle is absolutely garbage and only came from release champ jg memes.

you do have a good idea of playing with higher skilled peeps as low elo grinding doesn't really teach you anything other than repetition of your champion kit (which can be in any game?) and how invading on certain teams is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE IDEA.

reksai might not be in meta this season right now so there's also that, plus following up vs a rek is harder for scrubs in general. the only way to compensate for this is to directly learn from games from people playing rek now that are popping off or even getting a reksai coach that isn't garbage.
