Please help me out, I am at my breaking point

I just don't know what to do. No matter what I try, no matter how I play, no matter what I try to do, the result is always the same. Loss after loss, loss after loss. The result is always the same. My personal performance does not matter, whether I play godly or just feed, the result is always the same. It's like I am wasting my time at this game and I am this close to uninstalling.

And I do not feed. Do I play well? No. I am still new to the game and I have dropped to silver V so it means I am doing something wrong. But towards the end match score sheet, I usually have least deaths. There is always someone who is 1/8 whether it is the mid lane, adc, jg or top. I just can't believe it, that every game I play I am utterly outclassed.I just don't know what to do.

And if you guys want to talk about duos,I do not like them. If I get a good ADC, their egos are so high it just pisses me off. I teamed up with one, and he was insulting me for no reason at all. Calling me a little shit, called me a wierdo and told me that I am a degenerate because I do not own a mic. I just can't take it

Support is the hardest role to climb with imho but its still doable, I had a similar problem last season where I thought because I was "good at adc", I had to play adc, and I dropped from bronze 1 to bronze 3 on a 20 game losing streak, finally I just gave up and played what I thought sounded fun and I felt I could play well with, being Quinn top and within a month I went from bronze 3 to silver 3. So dont feel you have to play support, your shyvana looks good and overall you seem good at jungle so just mess around with that.

Not all duos are like that. But thats besides the point. Anyways, heres some things i would suggest.....

Play some bot games and beat them up a bit. You will find theres some tryhard there going for all the kills from time to time, but you will likely enjoy people more there. Try out some champions on the free rotation you havent played yet, test stuff out, trust me its not a waste of time doing bots especially when you are already feeling tilted lol.
Go from bots to draft normals. Blind pick (from my experience on alt) often contains most of the ragers and trolls etc. Plus theres always fighting about roles and what not. Communicate in champ select if you plan on picking an unconventional champ for the role (ive asked if i may Jhin support, they said sure, so i did it and we won lane but lost game xD oh well lol)... and if you are in a role you do not like or are not familiar with, just make sure to state that you dont do a lot of that role.
Listen to some music. You will tilt less and not worry so much about the team mates.

Learn something other than support at a low silver ELO. Either that or at least play supports that are meant to get kills and not simply enchanters.

If you have a sample size of over 20-30 games, it's not your teams it is you. You're the only common factor in all the losses, you're just bad, or at least playing badly. (there is a difference)

As for what to do about it, it's pretty simple. Stop playing janna in silver. Just don't play her ever until you get wayyyyy higher elo. If you want to know the super secret overpowered way to gain elo and be at least plat within like 2 weeks, here it is. Play support. Pick thresh. LEVEL 2 ALL IN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME. People just don't respect level 2 at all.

Clear first wave by the time second wave gets there, not too fast so it is still in the middle of the lane, and your minions don't push under/near their tower (you want as much space between the wave and their turret as possible)
The second you see the second minion wave, start beating the living shit out of the 3 melee minions in the wave. Just spam auto attack those bitches. If you take/mess up a cs or two this is fine it really doesn't matter (may help to tell your adc to push second wave beforehand so he doesn't get all pissy like low elo adc's normally do when they lose 1 cs)
When the 3rd minion gets to around half health, walk up past it, auto attack it once, walk into the face of their adc/support (go for the support if they are playing like janna lulu nami since they have such low health) At this point your adc will last hit the minion and you'll be level 2.
Don't lead with hook, that's stupid. Flay them backwards and then hook them when they're slowed. If they get to around 30% HP drop ignite since this is when most people heal, and you want grievous wounds to lower the heal.
You get a free kill. congrats.
It's low elo, depending on who you kill, the adc/support will stay in lane becuase they're complete morons. Flash hook/flash flay the idiot, and get another free kill. Then push the wave in and back.
If you have enough for mobi boots, buy them instantly and roam either top or mid or both and get them a free kill, and you've basically won the game. congrats.

do this literally every single game, it is the easiest shit ever. To be fair my main is master like 200 lp, but it should bejust as easy for you. I did this when I was trash as well and it got me to gold in season 3 and then plat 1 in season 4.

If you have any questions, add me on moooose5 or im still toxic. They're low level accounts cuz every single one of my other accounts has been banned, but I can answer any questions you have on them, or spectate one of your games, or when i unlock thresh you can spectate me and ill just show u what to do.

Hope this helps

ALSO if you don't want to play support like this, let me know and ill add advice for a different role/playstyle as well. but this is probably the easiest given your mmr and role.

It seems to me like you might just be getting overrun by more experienced players. I recommend not playing ranked until you have more experience with the game. If you're new to it then you really ought to spend some more time filling out your own skills and comfort level with the game. Get some good bots games in, do normal draft. Do a lot of normal draft, and find a few mains you can play who can be impactful by themselves without relying solely on teammates to make effective use of your abilities.

Get some practice in with all of the roles that you tend to interact with as your main role. If you play Support, try learning Marksman, Jungle, and maybe even Mid as well. Not to play, but rather just so you know what sorts of things people playing those roles are thinking about and trying to accomplish. If you understand them better it will be easier to communicate with them, coordinate plays, or even help them out by surprise when they didn't realize you could be helpful to them.

Learn what all the common champions do. Whatever is popular this patch, go read up on them so you understand fully what they can do. Arming yourself with this information will help you to not make mistakes against them, or even out-play them if you understand both your champions better than the opponent does.
