I went on a 8 win streak, got into silver 3 and then BAM feeder after feeder. I do my part as support or adc but clearly it is not enough. I know that blaming you're teammates is wrong and it is mostly you're own fault..but there comes a time when enough is enough. So please help me play better so that I can either carry as ADC or support like a boss.

EX: One game I played as janna (I was doing fine imo) I had an ashe ADC who stood there and autoattacked minions. At 11 minutes she was 0-4 with 28 cs. At 40 minutes (when we lost) she had 86 cs and was 2-11. How do I as janna carry someone that clueless? Last game i had a 2-10 annie mid and 2-11 fiddlesticks jungle and I was 9-4 at the end of the game as sivir..am I doing something wrong?

I'm not in game right now but I will be tomorrow, so please just post on this forum thanks :)

The biggest mistake I see in low elo has to do with the understanding of the way the economy works in league games. In ranked, the teams are usually pretty even as long as there are no smurfs. This means whichever team has more gold will have better items and win. If you are ahead, you need to find ways to put your team ahead, such as objectives or just straight up handing them a kill if you are already far enough ahead but can't 1v5. Late game if you are at full build, do everything in your power to give kills and all the gold around you to your team mates. The team fights will become easier and you'll push to their nexus.

You can't carry an ADC that bad. Outside of you using your Ult to push enemies INTO her/your team, not much you can do.

I feel your skills/mechanics are fine as they are. Your #'s(I'm only skimming CS and KDA in match history) don't seem too bad, especially in your losses, which to me means you aren't doing stupid things. The only flaw I say you have is that you are playing champions that are EXTREMELY team reliant. I see a lot of Janna, Thresh, Braum, and Sivir. While these champions aren't bad, their individual power isn't that impactful. Their strengths rely on their teammates doing well. Janna shield is only good if you have someone who knows what their doing to place it on. Braum/Thresh CC is only meaningful if your team has the damage to back it up. Sivir is one of the worst ADC's in terms of damage, her strength more being in her utility. She fairs well enough, but compared to say a Graves or a Lucian, she is inferior. While these champions are fine, their ability to solo carry isn't as high as others. For support I suggest Annie or Morg because of their CC. Also can be built AP to blow up people. ADC I say its up to personal choice, but I say go something with a dash or has incredible late game power. Graves/Lucian are good dash champions with good early games while Kog/Jinx have insane late games. You get ahead in lane with any of these champions and you shouldn't lose.

You can help your entire team in the game, not just your adc. If they're useless try to help other champions so that you can still have an impact on fights.

IMO the best way to win really low elo with really bad adcs is to just play Sona and q the enemies so much they just never even attack your adc pretty much. Although that requires you to be pretty good to pull it off. I wouldn't really recommend this, though, as it's really not very good if you ever get to high elo.
