Can you give a few pieces of advice?

Hey guys, I'm probably the worst player that you've ever seen. I know, some of you might think that I'm exaggerating but I'm serious. In almost every game I either feed hard, or just my friends carry me while i farm in a remote lane or in the jungle. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm trying to do the usual stuff, watching streams, YT videos, reading the forums but nothing helps. For my elo, my game knowledge is fine but mechanically I'm a disaster. I have no idea how I can improve this area but it's pretty bad that my friends always call me to play and I ruin each and every single game. Is it possible that for some reason I'm just unable to do even the most simple mechanics in the game, I hope I can improve to play at least on a slightly decent level.

I've tried playing every role, but nothing works so far, and I can't even play the easiest champs in the game. Do you think is there a way that can help me improve and become at least a slightly decent player or just be a lesser burden to my friends?

Your match history makes you look far from the worst player or anywhere near that, you just had a bad game before posting here.

I can't actually give you advice since I'm the opposite with stuff - I can get a champion down and do all stylish stuff to kill them easily (~~CALCULATED~~), but for game knowledge, it took me absolutely ages. I'm pretty "decent" now at it, but in some specific situations I'm still sometimes clueless and just go along with whatever the team decides. That's how I am with almost all games though, I get mechanics down really fast but never get the big picture.

Since I got better with game knowledge slowly over just playing, that's all I can say that could possibly help you. Just playing more and learning a specific "general" champion maybe (hint hint Annie ;D), and later comparing others with them. Best of luck!

Thanks for the answer. ^^

It might seem that the last match was just simply a bad match, and it was, normally i'm not THAT bad, but still, even when I have good kda and we win, I feel bad and/or useless compared to my friends.

I try to spam the champs I like as much as can, I hope that I'll achieve something that way, and I'm not giving up, but being the weekest link gets pretty frustrating sometimes.

The other big problem is the champs I enjoy playing. I love playing Zed, Yasuo, Kalista etc. these guys have pretty high skillcap and a lot of other important stuff but I think I'm far from the level that's necessary for using them properly. I think I should play with easier champs but idk, they are not as interesting as the others, at least for me.

Just play what you love, especially when you have your carry friends xD I love my friends for carry me when I practiced new champ. Btw, everyone can improve their performance by practicing from the start. Just learn and practice last hit, action and re-action, champ's combos, ward and deward, basic knowledge about push, def and combat. Pay attention to the meta is good too.

There are a ton of high elo video's on youtube that you can watch, they may not commentate well but if you watch the nuances of how aggressive/passive they lane you will improve. I would focus on lane dominance, and match-ups first. The rest of the game you can learn after. Biggest thing that's overlooked will always be CS, don't forget that minions ALWAYS > champions. The mechanics will come with practice, so just keep playing and finding what works and what doesn't.
