I'm having a difficult problem here.

While I'm aware there is no easy answer, I have difficulty climbing out of BV when I play solo lanes or a carry role, however, when I play a champion that can set up for my team in the jungle, or play a support champ, I go on win streaks. It's happened a couple of times last season where I would play support for a string of games and win almost all of them, yet as soon as I switch to a role that requires me to get kills, I go on a loss streak. It could have something to do with me maining support the majority of my time on this game and possibly just not having the experience, if you could give me a leg up by sharing your own experience or critiquing my stats/builds or whatever, that would be great.

When I am aware of one thing to focus on, it encourages me to improve, so any input is useful.

My main problem is the laning phase, lately I've been playing LeBlanc, and my main problem is all-inning them even when I actually do look at the map and not notice the jungler, the decision making part of my brain just goes to take a shit and I die. Or when I play Twisted Fate, I play way too safe in the beginning, allow the enemy to push, and it rolls downhill from there. Sometimes I redeem myself by ganking bot lane, and making a lead for myself. However, I usually just feel stuck and find it hard to do anything.

Sounds like you're just better at playing supportive champs than you are at personally carrying games. I'd say you're most likely to improve if you pick the things you're good at, do those, and then try to rank up and learn the core mechanics of the game first. Once you've done that you can go back and learn the other roles with a notable advantage because you'll already be pretty good at decision making and map awareness, at least in my experience.

Essentially, pick what you're good at, get a solid handle on the parts of the game that are important no matter what role you are (map awareness, warding, pings, rotations, etc.) and then go back and learn the other roles afterwards.

it's not the champ, it's the playstyle.

you could take ANY champ in your pool and support and win I'd bet...

the thing is, it's hard to kill a good support player because of ward advantage...or anyone who hears the train coming before the whistle blows, as example.

and you can always sell your sightstone for lategame.

or go controlward/ward.
