I've Seen Great Improvement in Myself But Still Need Help

I've been playing alot better lately and alot of smurfs are asking me if I'm a smurf since some of the champs I play (on a good day) show a higher skill level then what I am currently. I'M NOWHERE NEAR PERFECT BELIEVE ME.

I've been making way better plays (on a good day) Only thing is.. I try to have MY own pace... For the most part is works out but there's always those games where you are teamed up with a passive team mate(s). I can't really adjust to that which I need serious work on.

For Example.. I've been maining Leo supp lately, I usually engage in fights at lvl 2 (E Q combo), I'm a VERY aggressive Leona. When I go in I focus who I'm supposed to focus. I tell my adc "I fight at lvl 2 keep up or I get kills" Very selfish ik.. but I can carry pretty well with her. People judge my Leo early game then congrat me after. Ad/tank hybrid (Tri and Maw with supp item(s) and tank) I hate playing with a passive player because I hate slapping people, I punch people, I hurt people (in-game in team fights that is) and it causes me to make bad plays. So I need a little advice for playing on the same pace as a passive player.

In other news...I haven't been building sightstone... (I can hear the typing already) I rush my supp item then boots (whatever boots are needed to ensure victory) So I already know I need to work on warding, I check my stats.. warding at the highest for me is low gold. But on average Bronze-Silver for warding. The reason behind it is because I've been see myself being more useful early game without it. I have pretty decent game sense so I "can" assume when a gank is near or when we are clearly overextending and I keep my adcs safe. I get Ss with Leo like it's nothing but that doesnt excuse poor performance in other activities.

I'm an adc main (Jinx main to be exact). Been trying new builds. Trying on new boots (I have attack speed runes and am currently in the process of cleaning my rune pages up instead of the mess they are in now) I tried item 3111 a few times it it actually helped and ontop of that I had qss (for those effin cc locks) I myself kind of match with Jinxs rule breaking attitude. I. Will. Shoot. You. I just have a tendency to call people out when a poor decision was made. I can follow up just fine for the most part but as a carry I need cooperation. If you refuse you will be useless to me. So I take what I can and apply them elsewhere. Which works most of them time if my supp or any team mate didn't rage quit for my decision ACTUALLY working out. When I find out someone is too fed I will not want to help that person because it usually ends up making me feed them aswell so I distance myself.

(To be honest I forgot what else I was gonna say after the last sentences in the last 2 paragraphs so I may or may not update them later. Kinda lit)

My other roles are top and mid. I "can" play jg just prefer not to. NEED SOME WORK IN JG in the ganking department. As for top I play Poppy Satan or Illaoi. Just need to work on better trades and counter play. For mid I play a nice pool of champs just need advice on last hitting with Lux and Ahri.. They both have LOW base ad which means I have to time my last hits WAY better (this is aimed to early game) Legit you won't believe how many 1hp minions I've had.. Anyways whether I won the lane or not in mid, I'm ALWAYS behind in farm since I'm always fighting and occasionally farming here and there. Should I be fighting less? (this is low elo) my team(s) are always fighting when I want to farm and ping me crazy when I am. I need some pointers in that regard.

As for anything else idk, I do steal drakes and barons alot of almost any champ I play (just an added note)

I apologize for the terrible read, I'm garbo at putting these together. But if you could spare some advice (preferably from higher elo players) that would be much appreciated

You play too many roles, your leo build is subpar and that's about all I can say without actually seeing your game. I think it's fine to generally have common sense to play all roles at a decent level, but not make it something you do on a regular basis. You say you main adc, but I feel like you've played more support games than anything.

As for passive players, if you and your support don't click --- or you and your adc don't click, ask for a passive laning phase and tell them to set back until a jg gank comes in or until mid game rolls around. I've had so many games where I've gotten angry because my adc or support have 0 lane pressure whiles I literally get sacked in lane. But you can't help passive players. Play back till you have big power spikes and just peel for your adc or let your support do w/e it is they do while you focus on farming.

You need your sightstone and shot calling is a very good step for climbing. Just be more patient and call people out less. More times than once, they're already giving themselves shit for a bad play. If you make them feel worse, they may just jump in defense mode since there's too many people on their back at once.

When I'm with a passive ADC, I play the counter engage game. It's usually the best way to get a passive player to hit enemy champs at all. It's super easy with Leo. It sucks when you're Leo vs. a ranged support, but its better not to engage when you're positive there won't be any followup. If my ADC lets me know in champ select that they're going to have a passive lane, I'll play a poke support like Lux, Morg, or Vel to zone out the enemy. Go ham when the jungler ganks.
