Well I am seeing improvement in my game overall

Well I have come on here and asked for tips before, and I got them. I have improved in some area's and still lack some in others. But, one of the biggest improvements I have noticed in my game is I am starting to farm much much better. There are somethings I still need to work on. and one of those is too cut down on my deaths. One of the biggest problems i have is decision making. Because I still find my self trying to save people that are way caught out. I tend to overstay at times. And one more thing that eats my lunch from time to time is overstaying during lanning phase specially if I get poked down from time to time i find my self getting tower dived because I am low and still in lane. and when i am playing a split push champ i often find my self trading one of my deaths for a tower. which I think is good trade. and it kinda showed in the last ranked game i played as Tryndamere. I was the whole reason we had the lead but my team was toxic and played as if we were behind because they had more kills. while the whole game i was trying to assure them we had the lead. which we did until they threw on purpose just to spite me. in that game I took ten objectives. my positioning use to be really weak when i played squishy champs but i have made a note of that and trying to keep track of it better in fights. P.S. And the one question I love to hear now that I know better is "why you guys focusing the tanks?" specially when i am playing a support. I have been trying to get people I play with in solo Q's to focus the safest closest damage dealer after peeling for your carries or attempting too. Specially when you have a Rengar diving past all the other damage on the enemy team just to get to the adc that is underfed in the first place.

You mentioned you have a problem with getting low. Here's one way you can try to improve on that:

Each time you take damage, whether it's from a spell, AA, or minion aggro, ask yourself, "Did I have to take that damage?" Say you're a melee champ playing against a ranged champ, in top. Are you hanging around your minions and getting AA'd, but not getting any farm out of it? That's a problem.

You'll also, as someone said earlier, want to learn your matchups. I'd recommend playing 1-2 champs per lane, and sticking to those until you know them very well (and then diversify after that). When you find champs who you have a hard time dealing with, wait 'till those problem champs are on free week, and play them all week long. By the end, you'll see what other people do against you, so you'll know what to do against those champs when you see them (this helped me learn to play against yasuo SO much).

GJ dude, I hope you're gaining rank as well :). Probably the reason you are getting so low in lane is you don't know the lane matchups yet. When you start playing more you'll start seeing the same champions against you in lane. Try to remember what people did to beat you and figure out a way to beat them next time.

Good decision making simply comes with time and experience. if you would give a snowbally champion a kill for a tower, it's not worth it. if you're very far behind, it is most certanly worth it because you aren't worth gold.

I find nothing more frustraiting than people who call gg in champion select. Assuming that you will lose is the best way to actually lose the game.

I think it is funny I went from jungle to support to out farming most of everyone I play with at this elo.
