So I started playing league around season 4 and quit season 6. I was okay back then, but I played a whole lot and was decent. Now I started back up again and its been about 3 or 4 months since I started playing again. Here is my problem, no I can't carry the whole team usually and no, I am not saying I should be diamond. Plat, maybe at the highest. Use to think I was good, now I don't even know anymore. Just seems like either you carry the whole team or you get lucky once in a blue moon and you get carried. Also, I see people doing so many mistakes, Like, standing in the blue in the enemy jungle waiting to get kill. And oh man do silvers love chasing. Maybe someone can watch me play and tell me what I am doing wrong? I main jungle and support. Anything helps, Thank you. As i Said, I know im bad, just not silver bad.

Oh my ig name is Tyler is S1.

Don't add the account im sending this on please.

If you can't get out of silver, then you are "silver bad." This kind of denial is part of what's holding you back.

This next part isn't directed at you:

It is incredibly easy. Very hard to lose in bronze and silver.

This advice not everyone willing to take, make a new account, i was just like you hard stuck in gold 5 with tanked mmr all i did was make a new account and climbed with ease, some people don't want to give up their accounts but you have very bad win rate i'm not sure your account can be saved.

My recommendation is playing some of the really vanilla champions in whatever role you play Garen Annie Amumu as examples

These champions have lower micro mechanical expectations so you can use your game time learning fundememtal game stuff like wave management and map awareness (it's more then just looking at your mini map)

Also dont really stress about wins and losses, if ur teams doing something stupid then they'll die, if you're doing the right thing then you won't die. It's not about winning and losing game to game- it's about getting good at the game, winning is a byproduct of that

I find that I win more games if I go in relaxed and alert. Its dorky but I tend to take deep breaths, count to 10 and set some music on in the background to hype myself up. I have ranked anxiety that can sometimes lead me to getting frustrated or tilted so I try to go in with a neutral to positive mindset. I also mute everyone. Everyone. League is a team game but sometimes the team can bring your moral down. Try to stay positive in the chat and if you're doing well, try and figure out how you can extend that lead to your teammates. This is easiest if you're jungle or mid but support can do it decently as well.

You have to know how to end games in silver, leads are thrown back and forth almost every game in silver. Easiest way to do this is to either play a split push top or a very teamfight dominant champion.

Also this means you'll likely need to ping objectives like a madman to stop your teammates from wandering around like headless chicken.
