I've been playing this game since last year.at first I was just playing it for fun with friends and not really putting in efforts to become a better player. I was silver 4 after my placement in s6 and I never touched ranked since then because I'm too afraid to drop to bronze. My placement in s7 wasn't as well, I was placed into bronze 1. I had 1250mmr at the start of season, prob because I was silver last season.i basically gains 30lp per win, so I though I could use this chance to climb back to silver. But I ended up in a losing streak and losing a shit ton of mmr Started to reflect why can't I just jump out of that crappy Elo.I think generally my mechanics aren't bad as a bronze player, I can win my lane in most cases. I do understand most of the rules, such as when to push or freeze, how important is cs and such. However I had to admit that I simply suck after 15minute where the lanning phase ends. Thus how hard I can carry a game is based on how much advantages I can build up in early game, which I consider a insufficient and inconsistent method. So I tried to watch videos on YouTube about how to improve, and all the videos tells you basically the same things that i think is valid: Prioritize cs,if you get enough cs you will just kept getting kills in team fights(that's so true, yesterday i played victor and our bot was just rkt and twitch gon 0/14. I just farmed in mid, and when I'm lvl 18 I got super fed without killing anyone, and we just won the game because I do so much dmg )

Develop map awareness,force your self to look at the mini map for every 2minutes. That really benefitted me a lot, I often get doubles and triples from bot lane as mid because I looked at the map consistently, and captured the chances to get all those kills. There's one time when my kelp just went 11/0 in 15min and I dominated the game.

Most importantly, use the mute button. In low elo people always have rage issues, including my self. If you waste your time arguing with them then it won't take you anywhere.just mute them and it will be so much easier. Also admit that you know nothing and stfu. I used to speak a lot thinking that I'm smh better than them, but it just ends up in flaming someone.

I managed to done those three things above pretty well,and my winrate was improved. Now I can carry others instead of hoping to get carried. My Kda in s6 was average 4/9 on my main, but know it went to 9/6. Shitty it may seem to you, but I valued that bit of improvement.

Now the only problem I have is I don't fully understand any champ. As I mentioned before I once went 11/0 with ekko but we still lost. I wont blame this to my team because I know I didn't use that advantage wisely. I don monster the game in early stage but I'm just confused on what should I do with this particular champ so that our team can benefit best from it. I main yasuo and ekko, and I'm quite good at lanning phase with them, but when it comes to team fights it's totally a mystery for me. i just attacks aimlessly to any champ I see, this might work in early stages of game when you actually had advantage, but it totally fked me up in late game. I just don't have enough understandings of each champ I play. I hope someone can give me some guides and instructions with that.

Play some ARAMs if you want a crash course in teamfighting. Does wonders.

Focus on yourself, not others. There are many things that you have to improve, even if it doesn't look like. Try to die less, the less often you die, the less gold you give to the enemy team and the more time you spend alive, being able to farm and help out your team. dying for 1 kill is often not worth it because you may lose much farm.

People, especially in lower elo tend to blame and flame anything onto you. Ignore it. You can concentrate better when not getting blamed, so just mute anyone that tries to ruin the mood.

learn when it is good to push your lane. It sometimes is better to just freeze the lane (not attacking any minion unless they are about to die) This is really good when you're stronger than your enemy and you can attack him when he comes up to farm.

Not everything that is right, is right. This may sound strange, but sometimes it is better to follow the team instead of doing what you think would be right. If you kill 4 of the enemy team and you could do baron, but your team pushes mid instead, help them push. There is no point in going baron when nobody follows. Same the other way around. If you push a lane and your team goes to baron, help them. Do not necessarily attack baron, but you can be nearby to hold attackers off.

There are many many things to improve, to take care of and to understand, but the most important rule is to have fun. League is a game after all, and the reason you play the game is for fun.

Just a quick glance at your match history -- you use too many different champions in all honesty. Focus yourself on 2-3 champions that aren't banned often that can cover a few role and improve mechanically to the point where you're far superior to the other players in your rank.

Team comp doesn't matter at Bronze and Silver.
