I'm not sure where to go these days....

Anyone ever had that feeling? Where you play games, not even Ranked, just normals, and you feel like you've lost where you're supposed to go?

I used to really enjoy jungling and I used to be halfway decent at it. I played a lot of Amumu since I liked him and I felt I was more effective with him than with others. I didn't win every game, but I had a good period that I did well in and even after that I did decently. The new jungle came out along with the other pre-season changes and I know the mummy is supposedly godly, but it feels like my skills have taken some kind of major drop. I can't seem to land Qs anymore, I have more deaths than I used to, I'm unable to gank as much as I prefer to since I'm trying to farm to keep up, I was never an amazing jungler, but I liked it and I was hoping I'd continue to make some kinds of improvements over time. But these days it feels like whenever I go in I'm just either useless or worse than useless.

I know I'm bronze and therefore about as good as a nail in a tire, but at least I enjoyed jungling as a change-of-pace from supporting. With what little skill I had for jungle seemingly going down the tubes, I'm not sure where else I should go.

Anyone got any advice or ideas? Anyone ever have the same problem, and if so, how'd you get out of it? Just kept on going through a rough patch or found another champion or what?

I know that a lot of people can learn and improve by watching high-level players work. Maybe that's worth doing? There are a number of streamers, and lots of Youtubers you can check out.

Actually, the good doctor has a great idea.

I mod for a stream of a pair of Diamonds that actually do free coaching. Swing by and ask questions, or put your name in the hat to be coached.

Watch Scarra, he plays all roles (mostly mid) and he is an example of a positive player (except for when enemy ADC got triple kill or something, he says, "ok, we lost..."). He usually explains the reason of him doing something in game (E.G.: so, well, I shoved in the wave to Katarina's turret and I go roam, so I can maybe help out bot lane or something) My best advice is to experiment with other champions because everyone has a champion that they are naturally good at.

I say try getting used to the new jungle, new season changes are always big and they TRY to change things up. I know I'm not the best jungler and I always find myself going B after finishing second buff, which I'm really uncomfortable with. Just keep jungling but try out mid/top/ and ADC now and then, who knows, I used to main support then went top then mid then ADC and then mid again
