Hello, I am currently in Bronze 4 (Silver 5 last season)

I am looking for a way to improve my game mechanics, but there is only so much you can learn from a YouTube video or stream.

Anyways,

My favorite roll is adc/jungle. Mid if I absolutely have to. So if anyone would be kind enough to help a scrub trying to improve would be very helpful! My main ADC is Tristana followed by Vayne then Lucian For Jungle my main is Sejuani followed by Shaco and JarvanIV

(P.S I dont have a lot, but if I think you have helped me, id buy you a small 975 skin)

Hey man I am only Gold 2 but I am willing to help out as much as I can. I'm not the best jungler but when i do jungle I play shaco. I main ADC or MID mostly so if you are interested in being mentored by someone who is only Gold 2 reply on the forums here.

If you add me in game i may ignore it by mistake because i get a lot of spam friend requests.

Trist and vayne are not good anymore. Maining them could be part of your problem. Trist and vaynes laning is in a very bad place right now. Sure vayne is fun if your winning but a fun champ while winning id just play yi. I love playing against them i always win lane against them. Vayne has low damage early and she has no wave clear at all. And her damage on towers is very low since she focuses on attack speed items first and w doesnt work on towers. Trist laning is in a very bad spot right now as well. Her E sucks now and thats her only damage early. Since you can not just jump on someone to poke them or you will die by blowing your escape like that. Shes decent late game i suppose but not a late game god like before cause they nerfed her range a lot, and you have to get to late game first shes very easily abused early. Lucian is pretty strong right now though. Sej isnt as strong anymore dont play her just cause shes "op" the thing that made tanks like her so powerful was cinderhulk but it got nerfed a lot. Shaco you need to get fed early take smite/ignite shaco games are basically decided in first 3 mins and its all on you. You invade there jungler after doing a camp if you kill him youll be able to snowball and camp him in his jungle all game long. If you fail in killing him then you basically lose. Thats why shaco isnt a good champ to play. Its pretty much decided in first 3 mins unless you get carried. J4 isnt as strong anymore either. Since the armor got taken off his E his sustain in camps is a lot lower as is his tankiness in ganks. Grag is a good tank jungle, rek is a good tank jungle, kha is a good damage jungler. Luc is a good adc. I main draven/kalista/ashe which are all 3 very good adcs. Though kalista and draven take a lot of mechanics to play right. I would not recommend playing draven cause unless you main him and practice him a lot then the game is fully determined on your laning phase. Draven has an amazing late game but hes really hard to play in teamfights. Easier in lane

Hi, I'm willing to work with you on your AD carry lane- here's my basic breakdown of ADCS.

Graves - Offers strong burst and insane lane bullying capabilities, shuts down hyper carries and prolongs their build while providing huge fight presence. Falls off later, powerful early and mid.

Vayne - Mobile hypercarry whose kit revolves around the condemn, Vayne is weak from level 2 to bilgewaters in most matchups, but after she purchases item 3153 she is quite an adversary. Weak early, strong mid to late.

Caitlyn - Long ranged lane bully who is strong all throughout the game, Caitlyn's long range brings her to the top of the list in ADCs - she's always reliable.

Varus - Medium ranged burst, his ultimate synchronizes very well with AoE CC and his long range Q with W proc provides massive %health damage.

Draven - Another strong lane bully, although his axes are predictable and can be used against him , draven is a powerhouse in lane and midgame. In return he is weak late game due to his susceptibility to CC (Low AA range).

Ashe - Immobile hypercarry with an initiate ultimate (One of the few ADC's who have an engage ultimate), her slow makes it easy for teammates to catch up to your target. Weak early, strong late.

Corki - Powerful lane bully, any leads Corki has will multiply quickly. Strong mid but falls off late. His missiles allow for you to play safe and off map while dishing out damage.

Ezreal - Ezreal is a later game champion, he is one of the safest laners in the game because of his instant flash. His level 2 is very powerful.

Jinx - Another hypercarry, fits very well in siege compositions. Her lack of mobility is made up by 2 cc abilities. Jinx has the longest range out of all of the AD carries seconded by Tristana. Weak early, strong mid to late.

Kalista - Kalista can provide some interesting utility to the team, she is weak early and strong mid to late. I recommend being proficient with kiting before playing Kalista.

Lucian - Strong lane bully, his Q can be aimed to hit multiple minions and champions in the same line, dealing damage and pushing the wave. Strong early and late.

MissFortune - This champion has been disabled due to uselessness .

Sivir - Utility champion, powerful mid to late. Her ultimate gives a high boost to movement speed for your team. She has a spellshield able to block 1 single hit spell.

Tristana - Hypercarry, siege, weak mid.

Twitch - Powerful ADC, can bully out some champions. Strong early and late. His Ratatatat or spray and pray stacks tons of damage to the enemy team.

I'd be willing to give you a sort of overview of what I think of the jungle, either here or in-game.

I was Gold I 50~ LP at my highest this season, and I've been playing the jungle since patch 4.9 last year.

You have a lot of people offering to help though i going to give you some advise to think about.

Vayne and lucain are really high skill cap champs, really high. Maybe you should think about higher floor with a lower ceiling champs. The new ashe is pretty legit but their is also jynx and cait that are easier to master.

For jungle i think sej and j4 are fine. Even if you fall behind they have a purpose. Shaco is very feast or famine and in the late game has only split pushes which can be an issue.

You are b4, i advise that you take some of the easier champs instead of some of the most difficult.
