How to Tell your friend he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

So I've been playing league since late Season 4 and I am silver 3, so obviously I am not the best, but I still have decent mechanics and good decision making. So, when I see my friend, who only plays Darius, Garen, and occasionally Braum, try to flash in as Darius and then completely miss the pull it makes me cringe. He rarely wins lane and continues to build bruiser items, for example, today we were playing and he was Darius top against a Volibear and I told him to be sure to play safe so that Voli wouldn't get fed. He continued to go 1/4 in lane and kept trying to build Black Cleaver instead of going for a tankier item to ensure that he wouldn't keep feeding Voli. This led to the Volibear becoming an unstoppable force that we couldn't deal with and when I got slightly frustrated he just said "What the hell was I supposed to do?" so he doesn't understand how to improve. Me and my other friend have been playing league and constantly try to improve and play smart but this guy doesn't. How do I tell him that he needs to improve or get better?

Well you can start by not roasting "your friend" on the forums. http://orig10.deviantart.net/b806/f/2015/095/a/2/get_rekt__kid_by_upb3at-d8ojzgs.gif

You just tell him, cause this is a video game... You're not breaking up with your girlfriend.

Hes the type of person that needs to be in a Duo lane. He doesnt grasp the concept of taking and receiving damage, thats why he needs someone to be there with him to heal him so he doesnt get wrecked so easily.
