Ok, I'm sick of how I'm playing.

I would stick to mid then, solid mid laners for sure, I would say in this meta mid would be the best to play since adc is not the best role rn.

{quoted}

I normally play mid / adc, but as ADC I notice I get WAYYYY more tilted because Mid I normally do fine because it's just me and another person, as ADC if I have a support that plays too aggressive I tend to lose my mind because I'm not an aggressive player.

My fav mids are Lux / Syndra / Brand (if he's even really played mid anymore)

adcs are Twitch, Cait, Jhin (currently learning Jhin still, only about 6 games in but he is fun)

You don't have to mute everyone, actually it's easier to win when you have open communication with your teammates.

What most people won't explain is that in League of Legends, you need to play both proactively but also passively reactive. Now you are likely thinking, "this guy is just bullshitting me and is crazy". Let me explain in a bit more detail.

The most common reason for tilting isn't because of a player's teammates. Believe it or not, most players are actually tilting out of frustration because they are subconsciously unable to understand why and how events in the game are happening and feel as though they are events that are out of their control. The first step in preventing tilting in this manner is to actually stop after each game and think long and hard about what occurred throughout the game. Save your replays in the new client and anytime you feel frustrated go back and watch them instead of queuing up for a new game. Not only does this stop you from losing more LP but it helps you understand where things went wrong.

Let me tell you a story about myself as I believe it will help you maybe see somethings that you can check yourself on.

I am a die-hard top lane Riven main. I have played Riven on many accounts throughout the past 4-5 years and I have developed very decent mechanics throughout that time. I am able to consistently cs 7-11 minions a minute, most of the time even in situations where I am countered or playing poorly. I learned how to beat my enemy laner, and occasionally even outplay the 1v2 and double kill the jungler as well. Despite all this, I struggled very hard in Silver 1 - Gold 5 range, which even made me quit playing League for a while.

At the beginning of this Season, I started to play once more. After trolling around a bit in my placements I got put in Bronze, which was a cakewalk to climb out of. My journey out of Bronze left me with a 70%+ win rate and 4.0+ KDA on Riven, however once more when I hit Silver I began struggling hardcore and started losing a lot. Fed up, I decided to stop playing again and analyze myself.

Here are some of the things I found which I am currently working on:

1.) Biggest Issue! ----- TRACK ENEMY JUNGLER.

Play passively and do not trade the enemy laner or push out in lane if I do not know where the enemy Jungler is.

2.) KEEP VISION, TAKE RIVER CRAB, BUY PLACE CONTROL WARDS.

So many times I would buy pink wards and never place them only to sell back to the store for my next item. I actually never noticed this was a problem for me until I watched maybe 10+ games and I did it not just once, but SEVERAL TIMES each game. I needed the vision from those wards that I never used. They could have saved myself, my team, so many times.

3.) MOVE YOUR ASS.

In the past I never believed in wasting time. When I would see mid getting ganked, I figured it would be pointless for me to run over there because he'd probably be dead before I could get there anyways and I'm going to end up missing a bunch of cs and the enemy is going to heavily damage my tower.

If only I could express to you how dead wrong I was on this topic.

A while back, I decided to change how I played. I would just run around everywhere trying to be my teammates Superman. The results? I'll never go back to my old thinking ever again. Fuck my cs, fuck my tower. Even if my teleport is down and if I see the enemy mid or jungler looking like they want to go shit on my bot lane.. I'm packing my shit, giving up my cs, giving up my tower, and I'm hauling my ass over there all the way across the map.

I've learned in 'low elo' as people call it, you have to be there. There's no excuses. Most of the time the enemy will do something stupid and you'll capitalize off of it either with you getting fed or one of your teammates getting fed. Let me tell you, a fed "garbage player" is better than a fed enemy any game of the week.

4.) PLAY SMART.

Don't fight when outnumbered, don't fight Elder Dragon, FIND picks, try to engage when outnumbered, re-engage when enemy blows key abilities (ultimates, CC, etc.), don't stray from Baron when enemy could take it.

If you play intelligently, your team will in-turn follow and it will have good results. If you play recklessly, your team will in-turn follow and it will have negative results. Monkey see monkey do. Whatever you are, your team is too.

There's tons of other things which I have found that I have problem areas in, these are probably the 3-4 biggest. The best way to stop yourself from going on tilt is to play proactively while analyzing what's going on around you. Keep calm and be that guy who is everywhere making the plays however be smart about it. If your team isn't committing to helping you fight at dragon, don't try to be the hero and go in 1v5. Instead look at what else can be done in the meanwhile to get your team benefits.

Sorry for rambling but hopefully this can help you analyze your own play and thinking processes to open some doors. ^^
