You care too much. Expect your team to lose lane every game, and don't expect them to do anything outside of lane. Expect either 40 minute laning or aram past 20 mins. Take this information, and make safe plays that guarantee safe results. take the safe route through the jungle, and make safe roams. Who gives a crap if botlanes 0/40, If you just stay neutral your teams gonna win 40% and the enemy will win 40% other times someone's making a difference.

You don't play consistently. It's hard to expect to play basketball well if you don't show up for practice daily, then show up to every game wearing cleats. You're at a disadvantage. It's like playing barbie dress up, but you left all your clothes at home. What are you expecting? Get some consistency going, and watch some streams.

You don't have much for ranked games played. That to me, is a red flag. You might not be a "Real" silver. Nothing wrong with that, it just means you lack the plays in your playbook for the some 200 different plays at the time. Focus on the basics, Nasus is great. CS, build a ZZ'rot and try and group with your team around 20 mins. Don't aram, or sit in lane too long.

Your main goal is improving, So every loss is a win if you focus on something and make it better. Even if it's minute.

Cool! Another Nasus main.

I can only look at your most recent ranked game which you did OK in.

You are playing a champion that in your Elo you can single handedly carry a game. If you have confidence in your team you can group and if you don't you can split-push.

What I do in ranked:

Play only a few ranked games every other or every two days
Warm up with a normal game
Stop playing if you lose two in a row for the day - take a break
If you win three in a row you can stop or keep going until you lose your first game. Some people keep playing if they get hot, while I usually just like to chalk it up as having a good day

I have climbed a lot more recently when I started playing fewer ranked games in a sitting. Sometimes I would dedicate whole days to playing ranked and end up in about the same spot that I started. I found that if I limit my games I win more often.

Some tips on Nasus specifically:

Ward often
Do not die early - you don't want to lose your early stacking time
Stack for 18-20 minutes then do stuff
Never get below half health or 1/3 mana - either way you are asking to get tower dove
Don't cross the river unless you see the jungler and the mid laner
Pay attention to the minimap- it is likely that if you are stronger than your lane opponent that they will only come to their lane if they have help (2 or more)
Go where the towers are. If you ask yourself "what lane should I be rotating to" in the mid game it is always the lane with the closest tower or the tower with the lowest health

Use your first teleport to return to lane and your second TP to make a play.
