At this point I feel I'm on permanent tilt.

I started playing earlier this year, and I've noticed a lot of improvement in my mechanics the last few months. My csing is a lot better, my trading is...average i guess for my unranked status (it needs practice). But I've hit a huge dip in the past few weeks, since bilgewater really.

I just can't win games.

Don't get me wrong, I know winning isn't everything, and I shouldn't worry about W/L so much and all those other platitudes. But I don't think I'm alone in saying that consistently losing really sucks and kinda sucks the fun outta the game.

In my last 30 games I've won 8. And the 30 before that weren't much different. After 5 or 6 losses I think the system throws me a bone with an enemy team that just derps around all game, but then it's back to getting shit-stomped.

I play support and top most frequently, I avoid mid (which isn't hard since it's the most called role :p), and I'll ADC or jungle if I have to. So I obviously don't main carry champs. My support play is good, but I'm pretty much at the mercy of my ADC. My positioning needs work. My top is OK, but I gotta work on my roaming and lane control. I practice champs before I jump into normals. I recognize a lot of my flaws, but I'm obviously missing something.

So what's a guy scrub to do? Pray for more cohesive teams with less ego? Start playing carry champs? Go back to Hello Kitty: Island Adventure? Do I start maining vayne and riven?

If it makes you feel any better I finally got the motivation to start ranked and get into Gold, did my placements, first game I play, Annie support feeds 11 kills before riding off into the AFK sunset. Second game, Soraka support goes afk at level 3.

Generally you're going to have games you just can't win. Best thing to do is to just focus on yourself. What could you have done better? Did you chase kills instead of taking Dragon or a tower or two? Things like that add up and are all things that you can control.

Let me tell you the secret that makes League fun for -me-...

Get 2-3 friends, que together, and -don't care- about the win. Screw around, break the meta. Play Annie toplane, or Yasuo ADC w/ Malphite Support. Enjoy whatever kind of stupid team comps you can in TB or standards, and -don't care- about the game. Get into a skype call and relax and have fun. Does it often ruin one person's day, or two? On occasion, yes. And I don't endorse -trolling- while doing this. But I have a few friends that I do this with, and we actually win (Or come damn close to it.) more than we don't. I mean, hell. I brought back Riven Jungle for a few days this month.

Best week ever.

If you need someone, send a request to me. I won't guarantee that I'm not going to be perfectly flawless League posterboy #1, non-toxic and safe for consumption all the time, but when I'm chill and lax, I can play these 'screwitall' games.
