I'd like a mentor please and thank you

I'm sick and tired of bronze, I want out of it now, I've been going down the ranks in bronze (started in bronze 2 and dropped to bronze 4). I hate to sound narcissistic, but yes, I am one of those kids who complains about not being in the right elo.

My wards are fine, I know where to place them and when to switch the type. My farm is fine, if I am super harassed I can get around 60 in 10 minutes and if everything is smooth, 100 in 10 minutes with Annie . I really have a problem with the teammates I get and their ability to judge a situation. It's either dive this or jump that. Most ignore the fed enemy top laner killing everyone. They don't care as long as they get a kill. (like that's going to win the game) When it's time to end the game, they all leave to get baron when all 5 are dead instead of just ending. My luck must be really shit since most of my games are thrown. Before you call me bad myself by checking my stats on some website like op.gg , remember that I'm dealing with other teammates screwing me over. Obviously late game, the enemy team catches up and then kills me repeatedly while the rest of the team is dead because killing themselves at the fountain for a spawn kill is worth the throw. Honestly, to summarize myself, I'm not the best player, but my judgment and strategical senses are higher than average (and with some already starting help, even better. I play a lot of RTS games, which is why I also enjoy strategy.)

Anyways, all that aside, I need a mentor, preferably someone silver 1 or higher, but because I'm in no position to make extravagant demands, even silver 5 will do. Yes I am ready for change, yes I am ready to learn new things. Tips and tricks are fine too. I really don't give a shit what there is to do, as long as it gets me out, I'm ready to achieve the impossible (or my current goal of leaving bronze, whatever you want to call it, I really don't give a damn).

Or you know, do the basic thing and flame a bronze who can't get out over the course of a couple of months. That's pretty typical, so do your worst.

Consider mobi boots on annie so you can roam to other lanes with tibbers.

We can play some normal games if you like. Mid lane is my worst role, but i can still give you general advice on how to play the game. I'm European, so the times im online tend to be unpredictable.

But first of all, try to rid yourself of that "take it or leave it"-attitude. Its not the worst, but its not positive either. Im not asking you to go full cheerleader on me, but just try to drop the negativity.

it might be easier to coordinate play sessions if you use something else than league chat. Do you have steam?

Yea, sorry about the attitude, I just posted this after I finished yet another unsuccessful ranked game. I'm usually really patient and calm, the only issue is me constantly losing games, which for anyone would be frustrating. Don't mind if you're European, I'm a night owl anyway, so I can most likely play when you're on (albeit not all the time, but most)

wouldn't advise taking notes from Mute. The guy doesn't even play ranked unless it's to keep himself from decaying from D5 0 LP. he's low elo xd

one thing that could help you is building items based on the opponents your facing cause from your match history it looks like you just keep the same build every game on annie instead of trying to build to stop whoever is fed on the enemy team. just what i think could help atm

edit: just looked at a few more games and i think you should start building some defensive items earlier in your build if the enemy is getting fed.

That's a good point. I had that suggested to me also from another friend, for example, told me GLP-800 isn't good enough for annie and ROA would be better. the only problem is that I don't know what else to switch out in the item build, besides, isn't annie more of a glass cannon champ? Regardless, thanks for the help :)

you dont need to play as a glass cannon. the roa is a good early item for sustain in lane and to just have more health to live.

item 3157 could be a good item for the active and just to get armor for their adc or other ad carry who could be fed.

item 3102 can be good to use as well because of the mr ap and spell shield it gives you.

item 3001 is usefull if you just need the defensive stats a bit later when you already have damage or if your mid lane or whatever ap champ is getting fed on the enemy team plus it helps all magic dealers on your team anyway by the causing more ap damage to enemies near you in case they have divers like yi or talon or someone.

just keep in mind that you dont have to play the champ as exactly one thing like i can just take someone like malzahar and just play them tanky with less damage if my team is lacking a tank. as long as your contributing to getting kills and objectives i dont think the exact playstyle matters that much. but that is just me so im not to sure how others will think.

edit: for the GLP-800 i think that has a better use for if the enemy team has more champs who will dive into your team since you can use it peel and slow them down for your team to try and back off or turn on them if you stun them as well.
