In need of a pep talk

Hey guys, I'm feeling pretty down right now and I need some kind of pick me up.

I started playing league around October of last year when my friends got me into it, and right before the season ended I got placed in ranked just to see what I would get and I got Silver 2, something way higher than I thought I was capable of. Naturally when season 5 started I went right away with getting ranked and again I got placed in Silver 2. However, I haven't tried to improve my rank/play ranked regularly until about a month ago, I usually just play normals with my friends or by myself.

I wanted so badly to just get to Gold, I could literally taste it. I got to the point where I was up for promos for Silver 1, and that's when it all went bad. I lost continuous games all the way until I got demoted to Silver 3 and that literally crushed me. I took some time to shake it off and start fresh again, but things only got worse from there. Ever since then I've been losing way more games than I've been winning and at this moment I have been demoted through to SIlver 5 and I'm still losing LP. It just hurts my motivation a hell of a lot because I thought I was a better player than this. I'm not the type of person who flames at my teammates or AFKs the second things look bleak, everyone makes mistakes and I'm sure as hell not perfect either. But it feels like I've tried literally everything to win my games and nothing seems to be working.

Do you guys think I should just take a break from ranked for a while? I'm really scared of getting demoted into Bronze and I don't know what to do. I'm not even thinking about getting Gold now; and it's pretty clear I don't belong there yet. I just want to get back to Silver 2.

Hmm, Quotes that come to mind... "With great risk comes great reward" ~T. Jefferson Or perhaps "Evil prevails when good men do nothing" ~Edmund Bruke

The worst thing a individual can do is have a chance and never take it. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith whether in someone or yourself. Remember the memories that come, do so with time, troubles, and trials that try one's soul.

In the end, League of Legends is just a game. You are supposed to have fun in a game.

You should take q break from ranked if you are not having fun, a few days at least. Once you start again, make some changes. Just look at your whole season till now and find out what worked and what didn't. From what i can see on lolking, you where doing pretty great with Varus, Graves and Nami. Have you played those recently?
