What am I doing wrong?

I have m7 on nautilus and nasus, my mains, but I still suck at my champions AND my games. I see my people around level 30 stomping me and i'm around lvl 80. I'm trying my best, watch streams, lcs games, look at builds, tutorials, and I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT. I have a normal kda of 1/20/0, and I'm following instructions like freezing wave and hugging tower, map awareness, and other stuff. I still suck at the game no matter what. Any tips?

Maybe you're being too eager to fight.

Sometimes you have to remember to aim to protect the people around you more than trying to kill the enemy, though it is a balance.

More so, perhaps you should try other champions.

Knowledge more champions = knowledge of how to beat those champions.

that logic doesn't always work though, I barely play Vayne but I learned to fight her as my main support Leona, thanks to a build tweak I can take her on and still withstand most of the enemy team as well

Which logic?

The sometimes just keeping others alive rather than trying to get all the kills?

The playing other champions to learn them to defeat them?

I personally found that my usual style of play against Vayne as Leona wouldn't work, since I heavily relied on gear that gave me decent amounts of health. (Sunfire, Deadman's, etc), so I eventually just decided to alter my build set up to minimize those items while still remaining tanky. (Thornmail, Forzenheart, etc).

I now however almost always ban Kai'sa because nothing I do build wise or tactic wise let's me fight her since her damage is much weirder than Vayne's

Well your recent statistics say you're not doing that much wrong, and especially when you're playing Support Nautilus, don't undervalue assists cuz you do seem to get plenty of that.

Guessing from how you listed off 3 things and then said "other stuff", I strongly suspect you're trying too hard to learn too many things all at once and are failing at that. Focus on one thing at a time if and when you can and get good at that one specific thing before learning the next concept. Again, I must emphasize that your statistics overall are saying some pretty alright things for you, so at this point I think what you really need is focus. Maybe focusing entirely on Support since that seems to be your best role at that moment, and it's the least mechanically intensive (short of you throwing your Q every time its off cooldown) so you can focus on your macro skills.

And don't beat yourself up too much. Celebrate victories and analyze losses (with a cool head), that's how you get better.

With Nautilus there is no need to fight just farm and poke and don't over extend, back when you need to relax and wait for gank cause the top laners are going to have a hard time even trying to get you out of position. i know Naut more then you think!
