Can't Win Ranked. Need Advice.

I've been kind of a slump recently. I think my ranked losing streak is at about 8 now and I just can't understand why. I started my ranked journey in Silver 2 then dropped to Bronze 3 where I'm sitting at now with 7 LP. Every game I get ahead, push towers, ward, ping, get drags, rotate lanes (when I can), mute out the toxic players, try to shot call but still can't carry my team. I don't know if it's because I'm just horrible and don't see it, if their team is too fed or my team is just too incompetent. I don't really blame my team for things and I try my best to find my faults in my games. Even the ones I win. I've been positive in most of the losses and my lane does relatively well. I do have my bad games, like the last one I just played(1/7) Shyvana JG eek. I keep thinking to myself that I can't be that bad considering I've never lost lane to a Platinum or Diamond in TB or Normals. That last game pushed me to write this post because I truly want to get better and climb out of Bronze. If anyone would be willing to watch my games and tell me what I could do better and what I should've done that would be great. Sorry for ranting I know there's probably a ton of these post out there. Thanks ahead of time.

Play carry roles. That is what I started doing. Do that, and be bossy. Bronze players will either not listen, which they never do, or they will follow your lead. I play ADC mostly and rarely play top. However, taking a carry role and being confident will help a lot. Pretend like you have to carry the entire game and don't worry about others not doing well. I am in B3 now, was B5 0 LP because I would rage when someone would bully me to pick mid and then ADC would feed.

  • Play carry roles (ADC < Mid/Top)
  • Act like you are confident in your abilities and start off hot so your team will listen
  • The more games you carry the more you will win. Eventually, you will hit a streak
  • Just because you carry doesn't mean you will win, but it will increase your chances
  • Even as a carry role, buy wards and help ward jung because Bronze players refuse to do it. I normally pink a transfer area in our jung, like behind red or the push between river and blue

Anyways, IDK if that is the best advice but it is working for me so far

I'd being willing to answer any questions you have in particular. I've been there and I know the struggle then one day I just started to analyze my own game play and slowly improved all my weaknesses one by one. I still have weaknesses but i know how to play to my strengths. Overall IMO I can play every role to a Diamond V level except ADC which I think I play at mid plat level.

If you are interested in lessons I might be able to help you out starting this weekend (aslong as I fix my computer by then fingers crossed!)

If you have any questions just reply

Here's a link to my newest post referring to info about my lessons

Well the way I got out of bronze was grinding, in this season or season 4 I was bronze 3, but I played with a small champ pool. I played mostly adc vayne jinx or draven. That got me to silver 4. Try to be good at one role and decent in another that way you have a backup. I don't know if my advice is the best advice but just find the champions that you do very well with and try to only play them in ranked. Or you could duo queue with a friend. Don't feel bad that your on a losing streak it happens to most of us. But you learn from these losses and if you want to learn more you should look up videos on champs your interested in. Find guides to these champs or just guides in general on important things to do in ranked. I did this and I do think it's helped me out a bit.

I record every game I play in spectate mode and frequently cast my games to my YouTube channel. I'm always looking for people to play with who like watching their games. I'm definitely not a pro but I'd be happy to take a look and give some advice.
