stop trying to follow the meta,. play something you can do well as that most people hate, then your win rate climb but you get a few matches that you WILL lose cause your team doesn't want to win.
Doing the above I went from gold 4 to plat 4. and I never imagined I'd reach platinum.
I know how you feel. I got placed in silver 3 (last year silver 5) and basically won my way to silver 1. For some reason I just couldn't win my promos no matter what happened. It was degrading when I hit the worse losing streak of my life (like 15 games) and dropped to silver 2. Eventually I dropped back down to silver 3. I was super pissed and frustrated at everything. Being so close to gold and then losing it all and now I'm working my way back up.
Best thing I would suggest is to take a break from the game for a while. Maybe play some bot games or Aram to get your confidence back and just not think about ranked. Then when you do go back, take it slowly. Maybe 1 game a day before moving onto more games.
As much as it sucks, you still have tons of time to reach gold. Getting worked up is only going to make you play worse and you will only have bad experiences.
Good luck!
im just going to play normals for now.
i made a thread similar to this and people said that my major weakness is CS.
time to work on that.
I played shaco from silver 4 to gold 2 :) give him a try.
Deep breaths. remember it's just a game. take a walk, clear the mind. Maybe get some food, watch a TV show. Then try another game. And be light-hearted about it. maybe start with a normal.
I know exactly how you feel. I literally decided to start taking ranked more seriously,and a month ago went from silver II to gold IV in one week. Luck? Nah. I carried. Now being in Gold III, I feel like this is the place you need to step up your game.HARD. So, when I see people do dumb things even when I'm fed and I'm trying to get them to listen, but they still do it, I follow Skipper's advice from the Penguins of Madgascar,"Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave." Relax is basically what I'm trying to tell you. There dumb, so the game is a lost, look at whatever mistakes you've done and try to get creative with how you play. Bait a Leona grab? Good. Now you know how to do it.
Ripping your laptop in half sounds like a good solution
The few times support pantheon works for me it is glorious. Most of the time i end up losing and am useless the rest of the game lol, bc the lane mate doesn't commit to the plan.
anyhow to climb the easiest way is to find something you can do well, that most people hate. Then generally when games do start (finally) you can win.
As for me, I'm going bot lane karthus preferably solo. Soon to hit plat 3.
