Stopped getting better, started getting worse.

So for a long time, I would always get mad at an enemy champion for being OP compared to what I had picked, but now I just get mad at myself because I see what I am doing wrong, yet cannot fix anything. I'm afraid to do ranked for I have fed nearly every game (7 wins, 16 losses so far). A few games I won, I also fed but got carried. A long time ago I used to take pride in my ability to get >90% of CS. Now I'm actually impressed if I get at least a single CS. I'm also afraid to leave my tower. I feel as if the enemy jungler is waiting for me to take a step out. And it's my fault. I can't ward properly. I honestly really feel bad for anyone unfortunate enough to get me on their team. In a good half of my games I give first blood to either my opponent laner, of their jungler. Oh, also I often feed bot games, too. I'm serious. The beginner bots literally outplay me. I am not joking. I see a beginner bot as an actual difficult opponent.

So, what do I do from here? Over these past 2 years I've practiced CSing in customs, watched every youtube video in the book, tried about every champion in this game, and I'm starting to dislike this game. Breaks don't work either, about a month ago I took a 3 month break from this game entirely, hoping that would fix that problem (it didn't).

Well, first thing's first; make sure your equipment is in order. I've had some problems with my wireless mouse that honestly made it look like I was lagging, when really it just needed to be closer to it's other half. Could be that a similar problem is happening to you that is making CSing harder than it should be.

Next you should try to practice laning against a friend in a custom match. It personally sounds like you've simply lost your confidence. Knowing what you're not good at is a good thing, but if you don't also know what you are good at it can consume you. Figure out what your strengths are and don't let yourself forget them.

I tried looking you up to see your matches, but it honestly doesn't even look like you've played in months. Have you actually played recently? If not just jump into some ARAMs. You should never feel ashamed if you do bad in an ARAM, so just jump into queue and play a couple. Worse case scenario is you lose on the least competitive queue in the game.

So check to make sure you have no equipment problems and then just get right back into things. Without your confidence you won't be able to play well, regardless of what your actual skill level is. Just get in there and see what you're currently good at, and work from there.

The way you describe it sounds un believable 90% CS is like how diamond rank players CS. ridiculous. and now u see begginer bot's as a threat? Im bronze 5 m8 and I can like 1v3 intermediate bots. The only way for you to get this bad is have your hand broken or gotten amnesia. Lad, if I were you. I'd honestly move on. srry.
