This game is just depressing me...

I thought I was decent enough and then any time I team up with friends my entire game falls to pieces and I become trash feeding constantly, and then I just feel like jumping off a cliff or something because I can't play this game.

And nobody ever offers help, they just want to tear you down. I legitimately just left a game with some of my best friends because I was just making the game harder for them by dying repeatedly and I just felt useless to the point where I legitimately was wishing I would just drop dead. I don't know how to improve and I don't know how to play without being useless... I just feel hopeless.

Losing is a part of the game, and having bad games happens to everyone (which inevitably means everyone gets flamed for having bad games). You need to be able to pick up and move on after bad games, especially for games where you did especially poorly (the time it takes to do this varies from person to person... I've taken several months' break from the game after getting down about League, though I've gotten better at recovering over time).

Take advantage of the mute features if your teammates are sabotaging your performance and absolutely remove yourself from the game for a while if you're getting riled up or put down. If you're not having fun, you're not gaining anything by forcing yourself to play more.

If you can find a champion that you enjoy playing and that you feel like you can always be somewhat helpful to your team even if you're behind, it can help make losses and bad games feel less bad. As a Darius main, I almost never feel like I'm completely out of a game because I can secure kills for teammates, and if I get a lucky break with my ult I can even come back. It makes losing games feel more worthwhile to play out.

Just rambling a bit here. Hopefully some of it helps.

I would say you should try to find the enjoyment in the game besides winning.

We all lose and we all get angry at this game. Focus on making yourself better and having fun.

Don't be so down on yourself!

What role do you like playing? I can offer you some level of advice on who you should play and what to do with them.

Play more support, they can rarely be 'useless' just via their nature. Play Leona and Nautilus (not Thresh- you get A LOT of bad attention)- you can literally go into a fight and be usefull by drawing aggro. You can consider support a safe space to retreat to when you start getting down.

Also, looking at other comments... drop Rakan. If you have 10% influence on a game (as 1 out of 10 players), and Rakan's winrate is 45%, you have only half your usual ability to make any possitive impact on a game. If you legitimately have fun with him, that's a different story-. There is no undiscovered 'broken OP' Rakan build.
