Looking for someone to play with/PvP anxiety

Hey guys, I am a level 30 player who has pretty much never played PvP. I got to level 30 solely by playing versus bots, the only PvP games I ever played were a couple of games of ARAM, that's about it. The reason why I didn't play much of that is because, well, I'm scared, sort of. I am afraid that I will do poorly and that I will end up getting lots of negative comments from teammates, even more because my favorite role is jungle, and from what I heard, they are the ones that get the most crap for it. I know that I can mute players and that kinda stuff, but it still gives me anxiety knowing that I am doing poorly and I feel like it is always because of me.

If there is anyone that would be down to play some PvP with me, maybe even teach me a few tricks to improve, that would be much appreciated. Keep in mind that I have one, maybe two games of PvP in terms of experience, so don't expect me to carry. That being said, I think that I am a friendly player to play with, I like to encourage people when they do good plays and even when they may make a mistake so that they don't get discouraged. Also, I am always open to tips on how to improve my skills at this game, since most of the "skills" I have come from playing against bots.

Thanks for reading, hoping to play with some of you guys :) Have a good day/night/timezone.

I'm only lvl 29 myself but I have played a decent amount of PvP. I'm a pretty chill/casual player so good games or bad I don't get mad. If you want to add me go for it, I'd be happy to pass any tips along that I can. If you use Skype we could use that to communicate faster, but I do work full time so I'm on at nights around 5-6pm MST to about 11pm-12am MST.

dude don't worry about what people say. just don't play ranked games and it doesnt matter.
I had the same anxiety when i started out but just play normal games over and over and after the first few you will realize it doesnt matter. you'll learn the game and get better. everyone has to start somewhere.

Heh, I kinda dove for PvP when I was level 5 or something. Lost my lane hard most of the time, but people were quite forgiving. There's a pretty extreme skill increase once you hit 30 though but as long as you don't underestimate people, have fun jungling, and don't die too much, you should be completely fine.

If you're still anxious, maybe try custom 1v1s. Even if you such there is no one who will get mad at you and you can laugh off your mistakes. It'll warm you up to players far above your current skill level :D.
