Im going to look for a little bit and then get back to you but here's something you can do if you are serious about getting better.

Focus on getting better at the part of the game where you are the worst at. For me it was my laning phase as a adc and I tended to give up kills, cs, preasure etc etc beucase I didn't play it correctly.

So to solve that I designed a few simple questions that I answer after each game that makes me understand what I did wrong and what I can do to imrpove.

For example for you it might be early game jungling so:

What went good in the early game jungle?

Why did it go good?

What went wrong in the early jungle?

What can I do to prevent that bad thing to happen again?

When you do this you will get better at regocnizing bad situations and you will learn how to cope with certain situations easier. I felt this is the thing that has helped me the most atleast.

And I clmbed from silver 3 to platinum 1 89 lp as highest.

Edit: As a adc I use every minion or pve as a opportunity to orb walk better and I think in the jungle you do this to take less damage. I mean I even try to make it as hard as possible so when it comes down to the real thing that feels easy and second nature to me.

1.When you started your blue buff move in between attacks to make the jungle clear more effeicient. This is probably even more nessecary in the early levels since you will use less hp to do the same clear.

  1. You did a really bad gank that at the best situation would have given you a 1 for 1 trade. Both of you where around 20-30% hp and they both had summoners up, had more hp and yi can juse use his Q to dodge your charge. So in that sitaution it would probably have been better to just farm and then go b. Since now you gave up doublebuffs and a freekill to a snowbally champion.

  2. After the kill botlane you could probably have done dragon. Since you where 4 and they would potentially would have been 3 that could have defended it.

  3. Later you did the dragon when lucian died and it basicly turned out the same way but you got it abit later.

I'm not a junglemain so take this advice and critique with abit of salt (xD) and just work with the questions I gave you and yeah..

Sound advice. I have already identified poor cs in lane, and excessive focus on lane pressure as jungler...this particular game i feel i farmed better than i have in the past, because i am looking at my failings and working on correcting them. Why i have such a hard time in lane with cs i dont know..i just cant judge when an auto attack is enough and i leave them with one caster minion auto of health more often than not..and obviously the caster minion last hits for the gold...damn veigar clones!!!! I have had poor positioning in the past as well, and that has improved quite a bit, also i was a weak warder (typical nub bronzie...no excuses there) and i am trying to get into the habit of buying wards every back...ive only recently begun using the red trinkit, so when i have it i tend to either use it just to use it or forget its there, so again work in progress.

i am analyzing my games as best i can, but i need someone with better game sense and unbiased eyes to have a look and find any areas that need work i am sure to miss.

But I can share what helped me climb and it was having a small champion pool, play lots of league, and play the same role as often as possible.

i actually came to a similar conclusion. I am working on bringing my pool, for now, down as much as possible, and also focusing on any champion that i feel can go in more than one lane. My recent pickup, and successful so far, is kennen. Top, mid, and in the right situation as the LCS as shown even support - but i dont intend on playing much support with him since i have 3 incredible supports that i am skilled with (Thresh, Leona, Morgana)

I am trying to find out what my best champions are, what lanes they do well in, and getting those lanes/roles wherever possible.

That's good it means that you acually understand that you have weakspots and then it's alot easier to get better. When people let their ego / pride get into the way then it's alot harder to improve since you already think you are good enough.

Remember that people almost never ward in soloq I mean I play in platinum and there's alot of people that neglect warding early so you can exploit that very easy. But yeah just like I said before play alot, watch good players that have guides like foxdrop, phy etc and just work on improving game by game and you'll climb in no time.

Good luck!

There was a point that i realized i was "winning lane" almost every game, but losing the game no matter how hard i tried. I had to realize i was doing something wrong or not doing something right before i could improve any further. Realizing the hard truth that "I Suck" was a tough pill to swallow, but absolutely necessary if i wanted to move forward.

After watching so much LCS i realized that there are 2 things that make you win. 1.) a mistake is made and punished 2.) the right call was made and an advantage was taken. So i decided to work on removing opportunities from my opponents and map awareness to spot opportunities (enemy mistakes) to gain advantage. Which led me to a list of small things that i have to work on.

So far my self discovery has found: 1.) My CS is shit 2.) My vision game is shit 3.) My positioning is shit 4.) My map awareness is shit

I am improving my vision, my positioning has gotten a lot better (i dont spend too much time pushed up to enemy turrets like i used to, unless i know enemy locations and am sure of total safety) and i found the mini map...still kind of shit...but getting better at a steady pace. Simply being aware and working on these things got me to bronze 4 where i continue to work on being "less shit" and sit at 100 lp hopeful of continuing my struggle in B3.

Realizing i sucked was the greatest epiphany i have ever had.

It seems like you have the right attitude and you are way more focused on yourself rather on your team and that's the most important part! Jsut work out a plan on how you can improve those thing in each game and right there you have made a major improvement.

Thanks man! If you get time plz watch the game footage and tell me what you think. I watched it and noticed an exceptional poor gank/engage at lvl 3 - and a bad decision not back where yi rofl stomps me in my own jungle outside of blue(i was thinking of backing and realized i should have when i saw yi but knew i wasnt getting away so i just layed into him...didnt work out) so if you see anything else let me know..if you dont have time thats ok too...hopefully somebody will watch it and point out some things i can do better.

You only need game knowledge or mechanics to get to gold.
