Which role should I main?

I came very close to hitting plat before the season ended. I was at Gold 98 LP a week before it ended and then spiraled down with a losing streaking, ending up in Gold 3 when the seasons came to an end. It kinda broke me, and I went on a 4-5 month hiatus from league. Upon coming back, I decided to re-evaluate my part in League. I don't know which role to main anymore. When I started, I mained top lane as a newbie. Then In bronze I mained mid by playing Katarina (and other champs), which carried me to Silver. Then I went back to top lane and mained Irelia (and other champs), which carried me to Gold. Then I moved to adc and mained Vayne (and other champ). Then I moved on to jungling and played Sejuani a lot (along with others). I really enjoy playing high damage champions and getting the chance to carry. But my winrates are best at playing top lane tanks or ....wait for it..... support! So I'm fairly lost between trying to decide what to dedicate myself to. Every time I try to main a role, I get bored and branch out to something else. But I heard that in order to climb, I have to stick to a small champion pool in 1 or at most, 2 lanes. So I don't know what to do. Any input to help me out with your opinions would be appreciated :)

Also, here is my ranked history of all the champions I had fun playing over the 4 years of me being on League. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/304327553752236044/307233810099994627/unknown.png

If you want to climb, play mid/jungle, and play 2 champs.

Champ pool looks too big, but those notes aren't organized well, so I'm not even sure and I can't be bothered to look at it for longer than 10 seconds.

You gotta enjoy it though lol

Play what you enjoy cause if you keep playing what you enjoy even if it's not what you're best at it'll eventually become something you're good at anyway

Support! Heh heh, sorry we need more support mains (join us!). Really you should play what you enjoy the most. If you enjoy playing the utility and CC on your team top lane tanks and support would be good picks for you. If you enjoy being the damage on your team mid lane or ADC is the role for you. If you enjoy the early game and making plays Jungle is for you. If you like 1 v 1 situations the most top lane split pushers might be your calling. Or you can just play fill and play all of the roles if you enjoy the variety (although you'll probably end up support most of the time).

I know someone who climbed from bronze 2 to plat 4 in a month or two, just playing Leona. You can climb with any role. Just make a difference in your games.

But I voted, "play what you find fun". If you're not having fun, why climb?
