I hate being bronze, it makes me feel like a piece of shit. I try to climb out but I suck. Its the same old routine everyday play a ranked climb to bronze 2, fall back to bronze 3. Its honestly sucks. League is my favourite thing in the world I invest more time in league than pretty much any other thing on earth, because its frankly the only thing that brings me happiness, but unfortunately i'm the worst one out of my like 20 friends at league so thats fun right none of my friends want to play with me because I suck, no one ever picks me to be on their team in customs yady yady yah. It sucks. I just want to be good at league, but i probably never will. What do I do?

Stop playing ranked. (for now) Play for fun only, not to climb. Every game try to isolate a mistake you made (something that immediately makes you realize "damn, that was so stupid") Write that mistake down. In your next 20 games focus on NOT making that one mistake. Keep up a list of your common bad habits/mistakes and eliminate them one by one. You'll get way better in no time!

edit: oh yeah, before i forget, write this down and pin it somewhere in vision as a constant reminder:

1 - I want to become a better player 2 - I will not criticize others 3 - Only my own mistakes matter

how long have you been playing? if only a year, you are still new and a lot of players get bronze within the first year. if longer, you might just be learning the game slower.

you have two choices, keep improving or give up. giving up isn't a very good choice, but it is there. if you want to improve, focus on your mistakes and what you need to improve on. do you need to work on cs? less deaths? better builds?

sometimes it's hard knowing your mistakes and it's good asking for help sometimes. some mistakes you can spot on your own if you re-watch your games.

You should just play your favorite champion in normals until you can carry yourself out of Bronze.

honestly, trolling games is more fun than actually playing them. Because as soon as you start caring about winning, a troll appears and makes you hate the game Play champs like teemo jung, or ww mid. just do what you want, have fun, fuck everybody else. thats what you need to do.

Immediately after look at your recent match history I suggest you better position yourself in team fights as adc and not getting caught out. Think of it this way: "What good is an adc that is the first one to die in team fights?"

If you aren't that good at LoL, you should find something you ARE good at. There's something about LoL that draws you. Try to find out what that is, and see if there's another activity out there that would bring you the same joy, but you're actually good at. Simple in theory, perhaps more difficult in practice.

Honestly, I'm doing something that you might be interested in, and seems to be solid advice...

I've been advising that a lot of people having trouble climbing out of bronze try to pick up carry roles and carry the game themselves! I did this after realizing that the champion I was playing was really dependent on my team not being crap, which is far from probable in bronze in general. So, what I am in the process of doing is picking one champion, preferably an ADC that has been known to work VERY WELL (Sorry Urgot, not the time for you yet). Once you get to be good at ADC (or mid, and some top lanes can carry, like Nidalee and Nasus, respectively). A lot of the people I've been seeing are support mains, or they main a champion that's all tank and no damage, and the carry doesn't know how to position in team fights, so they die a lot, and the rest of the team dies a lot because they can't live long enough to deal damage.

So, that's what I've been going through, and things have been pretty successful for me thus far; my Jinx game is steadily improving, and so is my TF and Veigar game (I use both of them on and off if I have to go mid). I have been having a bad season too... my provisionals landed me in bronze two, where I went up to bronze one, back down to two, then back up to one one more time before getting demoted straight to bronze 3. I feel your pain, lol.
