I started our playing league this season at around june or july i cant remember. And i started playing ranked at lvl30 immediately and i should have honed my skills before hand. 3 months later and I have played over 500+ games and I have been from b2-b5-b3-b5-b2-b4-b1-b3-b1-one win from promos-b4.

And I have learned so much after playing all those games. My average is about 10+ games a day. These last two weeks have been terrible. Everytime i sit down to play and i loose my first game I can shrug it off. Im okay with tilting, its part of the human wiring in our brains but when it happens so much i have been getting so discouraged to play.

I sit down everyday with determination eager to climb the ranks. I have recorded every single ranked game ever onto my hard drive. And i go over every game as much as I can.

Im also loosing faith in my role to carry as an adc. I used to dominate and went on a 30 game win streak one time and jumped from b4 to b1 in 1.5 days. but that is when i only played 100 games and I thought i was the best. then came my downfall. I then looked at what caused me to fall back to magic world of b3 and under and climbed back to b1 one game away from starting my promos to get to silver.

And now all of a sudden after everything i have done to learn and get better I feel I have not improved at all. And that is killing my drive to play this game anymore.

I love this game, and I am very passionate but I cant keep torturing myself like this.

ps i also have add issues and concentration issues. Meaning i have the tendency to autopilot and go blank and not remember a single thing that happened in a game. (hence why i record my games to help me remember)

If anyone can sit down and talk with me that would be wonderfull. Maybe play some normals with me to get an idea of where i am at and maybe some reassurance that I am on the right path.

I'm gonna guess by skimming through your Match history people are not trying to close the game before it drags I see a lot of near 40+ minute games

when you're huge and have a dominating effect on the game, get the other numbskulls to group up with you and take those turrets, especially if you know they can't fight you as a team (unless someone blunders, which happens a lot)

if you truly wanna be good at this game you need to stop worrying about win and losses while in bronze at this moment , you need to get good at the fundamentals of the game. if you do that.... and only worry about that and become a more sound fundamental player you then will be come a better player and with that you will rise from bronze.

however i feel this game and its rank system over all hmmm how to say this is like trying to date a stripper. you think its cool and awesome. you get a strippers # and date her then at 1st its fun and games and then over time you are the club every night watching her give dances to guys all night and over time you become angry ,bitter and start to fill like your not good enough to keep her attention on you.

worst thing is you feel this way at every elo... you finally get out of bronze, now your in silver , then theirs gold and plat and i believe that from what i have gathered from a wide range of the player base this feeling is all the way up to about diamond 3. then i gather from people i know in higher elos is they are just stuck with the game... really cant improve and they lose their love of the game.

there is only so much you can control and do. which is what you do in the game. as far as an ADC main you are some what very very reliant on the support to get you through laning phase in a position to take over the game. bot lane is a tango it takes two... one can ruin it ... either adc or the support. hence why jungler and mid are the two most popular roles. you can have a bigger impact game wise as a solo player from those roles.

but as you stated you jumped into rank right as you gain lvl 30 and realized afterwords you werent ready... you are in a rank that is the entire same way. or you are in a rank with people who truly below average players and or dont have a clue on what they need to do improve.

majority of this game is about decisions ... and when to realize you have an advantage and how to push that advantage to win the game. it isnt about kills. its objectives. lane control, cs, gold, map pressure, rotations, team comps, match ups ect. being able to mechanically out play someone 1 vs 1 is good but its not the be all of the game. need to think of the game in the mindset of chess and not checkers. you need to hone in to a champ pool that will allow you to do the fundamentals with out having to worry about the complexity of champion mechanics. meaning playing champs with simpler kits that are strong.

for bot lane take Ashe MissFortune for example compared to Vayne Kalista . and as you get better and gain elos you can branch out your champion pool as you adapt to the game.

The best advice I can give you, whatever role you play, pick 2-3 champions, practice those champions like crazy in normals. Also, build items against your enemy, so lets say you're zed mid, vsing a leblanc, you want to rush MR boots, or some type of MR. Honestly, bronze is very easy. 1. Lead, its best when your team has a leader telling everyone where to go, it helps give direction. 2. Play champions you're good at, I really only played 1 champion in bronze, and that was rumble. Soon as I got really good with him I climbed out of bronze in a week. That was a while ago though when rumble wasnt even played, (s2-3?)
