ok so I have a short list of champions that give me the most trouble in various lanes. If you can give me any tips on all or even just one that would be very helpful and I would be greatful. These are usually worst case scenarios and sometimes I do rather well even against these champs but when played well they dominate me every time.

Top lane - not to anger anyone but I usually use Talon or Yi (I know that those 2 are not ideal for top lane at all but I just prefer AD assassins for top) but I also sometimes use Garen Tryndamere - always kills me because of undying rage and I can kill him usually only if ignite is up Teemo - completely outranges me and denies me so much farm and when i try to get in close he just runs away...most annoying top laner
Mid Lane - I am terrible with any champions that are not AD based for some reason so I mostly stick to Talon Mid but I can also use Karthus Syndra - Her damage is sooo high I cant hardly do anything to her post lvl 4 Leblanc - fairly easy at first but her clone always confuses me and I get slammed hard
Bot lane ADC - I usually use Varus but have also been known to use Twitch and Miss Fortune This is my best position Jinx - her damn missiles do so much damage and she generally just out bursts me and wins lane 7/10 times Vayne - She is the bayne of my existance in bot lane, since i usually use varus I try to keep her at distance but as soon as she rushes me its pretty much lights out every time her damage output is waaay too high
Bot Lane Support - I have only used leona and thresh for the most part and I usually don't have much trouble Leona - even though I play as her she always gives me trouble bot lane no matter what Soraka - Her heal is sooo annoying, I get super close to killing the enemy adc but then BAM they are at over half health and I die

5.Jungle - The one position I almost never play but when I do I play Nocturne almost every time and I dont ever have too much trouble.

any tips you can give would be awesome. thanks for reading.

Well looks like it's likely to trouble you because of your limited champion pool but Tryndamere should be easier if you played a range champion or someone with CC. Talon will have trouble against anyone that can survive his burst like undying rage or zhonya's. Teemo outrages me too but he loses to all ins. You just need to play safe until blind is down then go in. ANd build hexdrinker.

For syndra, just dodge her Q in lane. Once you hit level 4-5 you can burst a good chunk of her health. Bait her stun then go in so she won't stun you when you walk up to her to try to blink to her. build boots early.

For adc, vayne is good at all ins but you should snare her with your ult if she's go in and she's pretty useless. for jinx, jinx has no true escape so just stay away from her rockets and dodge her Q.

TOP: With Tryndamere, he'll pop his ult anytime it's up and he's almost dead. Trick is to damage him enough to want to activate it, wait a few seconds, then kill him. Or just set him ablaze with ignite. He'll be confident to towerdive and kill you if his ult's up, so be careful. I've done that to a top Gragas, and there wasn't anything he could do. Also, Tryn's less dangerous if he's denied minions to attack and build up his rage (which ups his crit chance % as well as heal him with Q).

Teemo's annoying, but luckily he's also very squishy. Playing as Talon, you actually have a good chance to jump on him and take him out. I can burst squishy marksmen and mages with Talon using his ult, E, Q, W, maybe active Blade of the Ruined King or Ravenous Hydra. Quick high damage vs squishy yordle = dead yordle...and if he isn't dead, you sure scared him, and prolly bullied him out of lane.

MID: For Syndra, dodge her Q and don't let her land her E (stuns you with her Q ball..hehe cueball...eh nvm) or slow you with her W. Her ult's dangerous, yes, but Talon's a star at taking out squishy targets with a big burst of near-instantaneous damage. Take advantage of that.

LeBlanc, pay attention to her and her clone. Clones will be able to basic attack, but not use skills. Often people will neglect the clone altogether and just let it walk away somewhere and stand around. If you see that, or see one of them use an ability, you know which one's the real LeBlanc. Also, since it's a clone, people won't hesitate to let it engage you even when they're low health. That's also a sign that it's a clone, since it's disposable. This also applies to Shaco's ult clone.

BOT ADC: Varus is one of my main ADC's as well. Trick's to dodge her W and E. Her ult missile does more damage based on the target's missing health, so have your (hopefully healthy) support bodyblock it for you (or have Yasuo windwall it), or simply dodge it (since you can tell she's gonna use it if you're low). Kinda similar to a Cait ult, but without being able to possibly walk out of sight. With Varus, use your Q and E a lot, and when you're ready to go for the kill, utilize your ult, Q, E, and finish her off with auto attacks. Build AD as well as Attack Speed. Work with your support and you'll be fine.

Vayne, just stay at a distance, and wear her down with Q and E before going in for the kill. And don't let her pin you to a wall. Letting a support CC you is also usually a bad idea when vs Vayne. She'll also want to Tumbleshot you when she has an opening. Don't give her one. If she tries, Q her, E her, or even autoattack her after she fails to land her shot on you (wasting it on a minion). And as the person before me said, ult her with Varus when going in, and she'll have an "oh shit" moment before getting her butt handed to her. People seem to forget Varus has some damn good CC for an ADC.

BOT LANE SUPPORT: Leona's a CC tank, and thus very good at locking you down and getting away with it. She'll usually tend to use E and Q, while her W's getting ready to pop. Dodge her E (since you know she'll use it), and she'll have wasted it (and probably a W as well), as the pull close only works when used on enemy champions. Let your ADC take care of her from a distance.

Soraka heals the ADC, but it costs a % of her own health. Let her heal a few times, then have your ADC/Supp combo take her out. Their ADC will be worried. As they should be. Just dodge her Q and E (mostly Q due to its lower cooldown, and the fact it heals Soraka when it lands on an enemy champion).

best advice i can give you is to play the champions you struggle as for a dozen normal games until you figure out their major weaknesses, and then use those weaknesses against them.
