(Community) Looking for someone to help train

I need some help. I've been playing League for over three years now, and I'm trapped in this awful limbo that I believe is commonly referred to as ELO Hell. I'm good enough that when I get just a teensy bit ahead in my lane, I can hold out and squash the enemy team, but bad enough that I simply can't turn around a losing lane. Regardless of how well I do, everyone calls me trash for doing literally anything. I help a team fight? I'm trash because I wasn't diving and focusing enemy mage. Or marksman. Oh wait, I do do that? I'm trash for diving. I stop doing that? I'm trash for being unhelpful. Even though I still get a kill on the enemy adc. You get the idea. So today I had the exact thought "Okay, let's go play some games in ranked, get a level, so I can actually get into some even matches where I'm not carrying my team by five levels, getting carried by the rest of my team while 4 levels behind, or doing sorta good in mid-lane and getting curbstomped by the enemy jungler that's 10/0 by 15 minutes. Even if it's bronze, at least I'll be playing people where I can actually learn a thing or two since there's some measure of consistency." 4 matches in of getting absolutely dominated by golds and silvers while the rest of my team is screaming and whining about this unranked scrub (me) that's useless and should kill himself and I decide that ranked is something I should never, ever, ever in my life do ever. Period.

So here I am, praying to god that somebody that isn't going to demand absolute perfection on the first few games, can come give me a hand. A group would be far more preferable so that it isn't all on one person's head to make sure that I'm not accidentally throwing matches, and generally keep me out of trouble. Here are the tricks to me:

  1. I listen. Too much for my own good. I see you initiate, 9/10 times I'm gonna follow you. A habit I'm steadily managing to kick, but a habit nonetheless.
  2. I overthink and overpredict. I often assume jungler is somewhere in my path and will kill me so I take the long safe way if I'm alone and not ahead. This often leads to my death when I'm requested to help somewhere else.
  3. At the moment, I'm very inconsistent. I can reliably keep safe, but in a team fight, I either completely destroy an enemy team, or can't quite make my mouse highlight the proper target because of overlapping sprites or because I'm jumpy and am useless (though this specific part is at least getting better)
  4. I have no idea how to counter half of the champion roster. I can't stand Brand, I can't stand Azir, or Brand, or Zed, or Caitlyn, or Darius, so on and so forth.
  5. I can't find an ADC champ that fits me. Hopefully Varus will do the trick after I get Ornn.
  6. Don't yell at me. It does not work. I don't ask to be some god-tier challenger rank, or even diamond rank. I can eventually get there on my own. I just need help getting past this wall where I crush everything (when I really shouldn't be, I'm not that good) or get absolutely curbstomped (even when I'm doing things right[?]) As said before, just one person is fine, but groups are preferable.

Confused, what elo hell are you stuck in if your unranked? Sounds like you should be watching youtubes of people who play the champs you want to play and spamming games to practice. Having abunch of golds or whatever "teach" you doesnt sound productive at all.

I've been doing that, the problem is working with randos as teammates is borderline impossible. Sometimes I get perfect ones, most of the time I get teammates that whine, feed, disconnect, scream, rage, or have no idea what they're doing, or any combination of those. I get how to work my champions, what builds to use, the problem is the finer details like positioning for a gank, timing a gank, setting up for a teammate to roam and gank, knowing which 1v1 fights I should pick, and how to tell when my team is about to retreat entirely from a point rather than contest it, and whether or not I should do the same.

Given how my ranked games are so far, I'm willing to bet I'm low silver. high silver and gold (according to the teammates who told me what rank I was in) royally kicked my ass, but maybe that was just because I'm unaccustomed to VERY aggressive playstyles. I've got another five games to get a rank and I don't know if it's even worth trying to do.

Sorry if I offended you.

I'm offended because you copypasted an ad for your clan before even thinking about what my deal is. If you'd actually spoken about it and let me consider it, that'd be one thing, but you basically used my thread as advertising ground.
