Willing to learn: Looking for a coach to help myself improve

It's easy to be biased when evaluating your own gameplay and there's only so much videos can do for you. I find it hard sometimes to effectively implement what I see higher elo players do because I'll find myself in situations differing from what they did on stream or YouTube and unsure how best to adapt. They say practice makes perfect, but if you're practicing wrong then it doesn't help.

I'm a Bronze player who understands I'm not that good at the game. I'm confident I'm not 100% trash either, but I understand where I fit on the ladder and that there is so much more about mechanics that I'm not understanding or even using that those higher ranked than me do. I have a desire to get better so I can climb. I'm not aspiring to Diamond or anything. Honestly, I'd just like to get to Gold, just once.

To that end, if you've read this far, I'm looking for a player ranked Plat 5 or higher who either has coaching experience or feels that as a person they are a generally friendly and insightful individual who would like to help others. On top of that preference, the player needs to be knowledgeable and able to explain how they themselves play at their level.

To help you know where I'm at I am currently Bronze 2, previously Bronze 1 off and on. I can do all roles except jungling. I main Irelia, Darius, Lux, Vel Koz, Ashe, Jinx, Nautilus, and Morgana as my main champion pool for ranked. Some of my weakest areas are warding effectively (I do know to ward, but I need to get better at knowing how to most efficiently ward such as the best place to put a ward in preparation of potential ganks or objective-taking), proper wave control, improvement on better trading during lane phase, and better decision-making based on the state of the minimap (things like, noting where the enemy jungler is at the time and figuring out whether it's best to push for a tower or take dragon, etc.).

I do have discord for effective communication. I'm not looking for someone to boost me out of Bronze. I want to get into Silver, and eventually Gold, because I improved enough to play at that level.

Thank you for listening and post here if interested. I don't like to add random names on league so if an unknown name friend requests me i'll ignore it in-game.

I'd offer to do it just for the fun and experience of it. I'm only Gold 4 atm, but I'm working full time and have 4 kids :-P

If you want help, and can't find free coaches, hit me up :-) otherwise, good luck on the rift. I'm hoping to make plat this season:-)

Hey man, I might be able to help. If you'd like to add me on this account (Shibeybe), I've been playing since beta and coaching since season 4 / 5 or so.

If you can't get out of bronze it just means you don't know how to play the champion you are on, the lane your in, and the game in general.

Edit only time this isn't true is if you are playing support.

Here is the best help I can offer. Go to probuilds and copy and paste a rune mastery on a champion you enjoy. Then youtube a high diamond player on how best to play it. Pants are dragon is good for jungle.
