I am terrible at League. Holy Money Jesus

Straight up, I am terrible at League.

The only thing I can properly do is Support and even that is something I am kinda awful at. I can do Leona, Thresh, Janna, Sona, and even Nautilus, some decent plays and some lucky awesome engages.

But if I ever try picking up Top, It ends up being something like going Fizz, getting out CS'ed and pushed back by Teemo, never having enough damage because I dont get any gold, and at level 15 when my whole team has most of their items built I am still over here sitting with few pieces of MR and MR Boots. Its kinda ridiculous. I end up going 2/18/"wish this number was my Kills". Or Shen and get completely wipes out by mundo. Or I go Ryze and Heimerdinger just makes my mouse hover over the leave button every time I die.

Jungle. Nunu getting farmed by Master Yi. Nuff said here I think. (represents all my jungle experiences)

Mid is me pretty much being free food for their Jungle, so I have 2 choices: Try to CS and get eaten, or sit by the turret and get almost no xp, until level 6 where my turret does nothing for one-shots. Least games played in Mid, but the experience is like being spooked by a roller coaster. Once you get spooked you will prolly never wanna go on that ride again.

I have yet to ADC for any game, and thank goodness. I cannot play any of the ADC's in Arams so this would be a nightmare having me ADC for the team.

Like, this sure sounds like a QQ forum post, and it prolly is. I am still straight up frustrated with the game, and the fact that I cannot pick up the simplest concepts no matter how hard I try, no matter how many hours I put in, no matter how many replays that I watch...

I can play HoTs just fine, but League is somehow difficult. Its not even the items, and the champs are more-or-less similar in some ways, but when I get behind league its like an inevitable loss is about to strike, unless I am forces to play Support.

(Another example, WoW as an MMO I can do easily for PvP, but GW2 as an MMO PvP I simply cannot possibly do at all)

Frustration is present because I cannot think of a logical reason to explain why I blow at this game, and with no concrete reason idk what to work on, so I kinda jump from game to game and fail with no change in strategy because I simply dont understand what I did wrong. I watched streams and looked up builds and guides, yet I cannot replicate, mirror, or mimic anything that the top players, even average players do.

I'd just pick 1-2 champs each roll easy to play ones to like warwick for jg or annie for mid then just master them a smaller champ pool makes you more experienced then someone who just flits around on champs

Dude you are only level 16, chill out, you are not supposed to be good at anything yet. I'm level 27 myself and only after like 400+ games am I starting to understand just how bad I am at almost everything. The important thing is though, I am having fun with the game.

Just play bot matches and have fun with whatever champion(s) you actually enjoy playing as, doesn't matter if you suck at them. Play at least 10 games at a time with the same champion to get a feel for them, unless you can instantly tell a champion just doesn't fit you.

Stay away from trying to Jungle, get to level 30 first so you can pick a full set of masteries and runes to make that job easier.

Playing against other players is important but not as important as training up your mechanical skill in bot matches first. Experiment with different item builds, get an idea of how minions work, explore the map at your leisure, try fighting the jungle camps at different levels, try to take dragon solo, see if you can get your team to fight baron for fun.

This game takes a lot of time because it has a lot of stuff you need to learn.

And if all else fails you could just uninstall, there is no point in playing a game that just isn't any fun for you, find something else that is. There is no shame in being bad at a game.

I hope you have fun man, good luck.
