I'm At A Loss & Need Some Help

Hey everyone! I'll keep it short and simple. (If this isn't allowed on this board, please help me find the correct one.)

I'm at a loss here... I've been 1-Tricking and pretty well recently, but things really aren't going well. My GF went from B5 to S2 Promos within about a month, and I'm trying to get up there with her. She refuses to play with me because of my rank, which kinda tilts me a little... But I think I'm playing alright, with little improvement, and I'd like some help.

I don't have the money for a coach or anything like that, and I can't find any duo partners that will stick around. I wish I could show replays, but I guess I'll have to just show and use word of mouth! Past Recent Ranked Games: Annie 12/4/5, Win Annie 17/12/14, Win Annie 10/14/10, Win Vel'Koz 6/9/10, Win Annie 1/4/1, Lose Annie 12/11/8, Lose (I took a break from Ranked at this point, came back a few days later) Rengar 10/12/12, Lose Syndra 5/3/2, Win Syndra 3/7/5, Lose (Teamates titled me, but I muted)

I've been one-tricking, like I said, but Annie doesn't really do it for me. I don't really enjoy playing her that much, but I LOVE playing Syndra and Vel'Koz. My girlfriend said that Jinx can hyper-carry like nobody's business, so I was thinking I might get her and practice? I find almost 90% of the time that I'm the one carrying all or most of my teamates.

Any tips? Thanks!

It's called a one trick pony for a reason. Why are you playing 2 champions? There are no two trick ponies.

Also where are your tears, if you don't cry after every defeat like I did, you will never climb.

Best advice to climb is just play alot

Just play the champion that you like the most/what you feel the most comfortable with. If you set your mind to a specific champion you like, such as Syndra or Vel'koz, eventually you'll get good enough with them to carry games on your own.

But honestly, if you wanted a serious answer work on your CS. You're barely getting 100 CS every 20 minutes using Annie. Getting 150 CS should be your goal, one that was once mine. CS is underrated in low Elo's. 17 CS easily adds up to 300 gold or a kill if not more.

Once you've accomplished this I want you to use that gold advantage to take the lead. Did you win your lane, force your opponent to retreat or kill them? Start roaming, if you see them pushing too close to your turrets or their turrets ambush them from behind.

I put some info here that I think would help, but the biggest thing is that you just barely play league.

I would tell you to watch these VODs, but they're long. These 4 videos are longer than your average playtime in a week. That is saying something. 28 games is 1 month is nothing.

I think you should keep playing annie.

From looking at your op.gg. What i immediately notice is that you die, alot. It could be a couple things, but every time you die, just think about why it happened.

Another thing, is that you build a bit funny. Sometimes you get item 3003 or item 3285 when you should probably get one of these item 3151 item 3089 item 3135 .

The biggest thing is that you dont play enough. You have 28 games in a month . If you want to improve, you're going to have to play.

I feel in bronze, assassins are the best because brz ppl don't know how to handle as well and if you snowball you can split and either take turrets or draw them to you.

The real secret though is just playing a lot, sucks your gf won't play with you but use that as motivation to get better.
