(noob here) How do I know if I'm doing ok if I'm on a losing streak?

^ the title lost 11 games straight over 1.5 weeks :L i don't play on tilt.

I'm lvl 11, a noob, and I have twice as much losses as wins. I personally think I do ok, since I win my lane or at least hold it past the laning phase (my tower is not the first destroyed). I've also tried and usually succeeded in getting more cs during the early game than my opponent.
I ward whenever ward is up .-. But even if i personally think I did my part ok, my team ends up losing/surrendering.

I try to analyze what I did wrong, read guides, watch some pros play, but idk @_@ according to the statistics at the end of a game, I do ok, but maybe I'm being delusional OTL

uh. so the question was, does LoL experience get better naturally? and are losing streaks natural?

I don't think you are delusional. In fact, I'm very sure you have the best stats in the game most of the time. That said, your stats could be a lot better (I am pulling all these stats from your op.gg profile.) Your CS per minute are about half of what they should be for a solo laner. If you focus on last hitting more I guarantee you will see an improvement in your win percentage. Additionally, your contribution for kill is also much lower than it should be. Contribution for kill is basically what percentage of your total team kills did you either get a kill or assist from. It basically shows how often you were involved with your team for kills. You should be looking to get your contribution for kill above 50%. Since it is lower than that it indicates to me that either you are getting killed before team fights start or you aren't with your team enough when a team fight starts. Your KDA is pretty good though so keep up the good work.

Also, your op.gg profile says you're sitting at a 50% win rate in your past 20 games so cheer up, its not as bad as you thought. And yes, losing streaks are natural. That said, always assess your play and never assume "everyone else" is the problem.

If you're level 11, and it's your first account, then try ignoring wins and losses for a while. I know what that sounds like, but here's what you should know and do:

if you haven't already, don't buy runes. if you have, sell if you can and don't buy any more until you unlock tier 3.

try new champions. Forget about who your opponents might be. just find a set of champions you enjoy controlling. Mine are kayle, anivia, ashe, sion, nautilus, soraka. most of what makes people better is time, and you'll enjoy spending that time with champs you like.

as for guides, I'd honestly suggest forgetting about them. Now is the time to make your mistakes. explore the game, do some screwball builds that might make you look back late and say wtf. I used to build seraphs embrace on Kayle. I realize now that's not a very good option, but I did it anyway. I mean, Stacking mana, then damage from having more mana? Who WOULDN'T want this? However, that self exploration will provide you with a deeper context for some of the things a guide says to do or not do. win/lose, none of it matters right now. What matters now is that you find champions and play styles that allow you to enjoy your time on league, and nothing else.

Good luck on the Rift!
