Discouraged with a 29% win ratio.

Currently I'm on tilt. I feel helpless, I feel like my efforts to contribute to my team are worthless. I touched gold preseason for the first time in 2 years but now I'm currently riding on 13 wins and 32 losses (29% win ratio in silver 5 with 11 LP).

Unless some miracle takes over my league career, I don't think I'll be hitting gold this season. I've tried so hard to climb but I'm being pulled down due to my sucky attitude and poor skills.

I admit, I'm not good. People who get to gold deserve to be in gold and I want to get to gold really badly. It seems like I don't deserve to be there atm.

What should I do?

I'm highly discouraged because of my low ratio but I feel addicted to this feeling that the more I play the more I can win. Which isn't working for me right now.

I feel like I had a similar problem at the start of this season.

I hit gold 5 in season 5, my first season of ranked. It only took me 64 games, and I had a near 60% win rate (and over 70% at the end of the season). I was doing incredibly well.

I went 2-8 in my placements and got Silver 4. I thought I just got unlucky and had really bad teams, but as I continued losing I realized I honestly was part of the problem. Mainly, that my playstyle and preferred champions were not the current meta.

A lot has changed. The strong champions are very different from last season, and if you're still playing the same champions you'll fall back. The playstyle for each role has changed slightly and if you haven't adapted you'll fall back. Dynamic queues means you'll always be playing against someone who knows their role, so if you used to be a jack-of-all-trades instead of maining two roles, you'll fall back.

Just take some time off of ranked. Practice up in normals. Perhaps prepare another champion or two for ranked. Come back when the meta shifts against and suits your gameplay better.

Get back to norms and start practicing from the ground up.

Lane phase- CS, harass, warding, pings, mini map

Mid game- rotations, objectives, warding, minimap, pings, team fights.

Late game- rotations, minimap, pings, warding, objectives, team fights, Baron, Nexus.

Stuff like that. Concentrate on small parts and improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes come up with what you could have done better when you died and apply your analysis next game.

Edit: I almost forgot. Positioning, positioning, positioning.
