Solo queue Struggle ( cannot win despite my own skill)

Solo queue is hell for me right now. I play basically every role, however as of late none of them are getting me any sort of wins. Could it be my play style? Yes, in fact if anyone would like to help me out that would be fantastic if you could maybe spectate a game and tell me what I'm doing wrong. However my issue is typically not my ability to play and get kills, it is when top and mid feed 0/11 and all of the sudden my 3/1 score turns into 7/8. At the moment I'm trying lee sin and jarvan in the jungle, and jinx ezreal and caitlin in the bot lane. I cannot carry unless I duo queue with my friend in gold and I am rapidly losing elo. Help! (Any requested info will be edited in to here)

a very, very simple tip:

stop playing with champs that you aren't good at.

You are terrible at Lee Sin. I'm not even talking mechanics, I'm talking the fact that you're 0-3 with him. Once you're 0-3 with a champ, stop playing them in ranked.

You are actually good at Hecarim and Shaco. Play them. Who gives a fk if they're not OP in the LCS? Silver 5 is not the LCS.

The reason you play Hecarim and Shaco is because they can solo carry. Hecarim can 1v1 anyone, can 1v2 if fed, is incredibly tanky late game and has both escapes and initiates. Shaco is incredibly slippery and is very hard to 1v1 once he has a Hydra and a Ghostblade. Lee cannot solo carry.

Unfortunately, you cannot control the kind of teams you get. The one constant in each game is yourself, so that is the one point you should focus on. There is room for improvement in play for newbies and pros alike. Try not to blame your teammates (mentally or verbally), and just think of how you can improve your own play.

If you are ahead, try to use that advantage. If you are in the position to do so, roam and help your other lanes. Alternately, help grab some objectives. In game, ping out MIA and take lead on shot calling if nobody is communicating. You may be 10/0/0, but at the end of the day, this is a team game, so teamwork is imperative.

Taking a look at your last few games, it seems you should try to buy more wards (even if you're not a Support). Vision is very very important in this game. Some of your Support item builds are also questionable, although I understand you're trying to put yourself in a more "carry" position. Can't say much more without actually watching your play.

Good luck!
