So bascially, i have a group of 6-8 friends where we all rotate on 5v5 draft normals. theyre really good (compaired to me, a Silver 5) and im super bad. Usually my Really close friends and i are the odd men out so we Ranked 3s. as of late, they DESTROY and all i do is rage/feed. Normally i dont rage but something about me being the only bad one hurts. i just recently told my team to pick up another one of our buds to replace me and with him theyve gone from B2->S5. While im happy for them im extremely mad that my best friends prefer another guy. Any help on getting better? they literally only play the same comp over and over but i cant seem to find a champ i enjoy/am even slightly good at.

Do you always play the same role? Switch it up; watching your mid or jungler carry the game makes a passive support seem worthless, but it's kind of the fault of the role and not necessarily a reflection of your skill compared to theirs. (idk what role you play, just a hypothetical scenario)

I dont exactly have a Role i prefer. im good at mages and tanks. i have bad ADC positioning, plus its 3s so ADC isnt a thing (one team memeber refuses to support, only wants to jung). but i really dont want to be that guy with only one good champ. Its also worth noting i have 2 jobs, makes it hard to play non-stop.

You can capitalize on your friends strengths if you have to; like go Blitzcrank and grab people for them to destroy, or something else that can peel good (not necessarily a support).

I've got "LoL" friends I played with early on, and they surpassed me by far, and quickly; I just had to accept that they're better than me and I feed them instead of try to make my own plays. Though, I'm ok with that since I enjoy playing Support, not everyone is (most want to be the guy that carries).

All I can really say, it try all your options and don't cement yourself into one or two roles with a couple champs.

I think just playing tanks/cc machines is my fate. i dont have the mechanics to be a play maker.

Just find a champion that you enjoy playing or feel comfortable playing and play him over and over and over. That's what I did.

I know i'm only silver 3, but I'd be willing to duo with you to give you some tips if you'd like.

Honestly, it might be a discipline issue. 3s has no wards, which makes me mad cause i mainly die to ganks. and im always mad at my jungler cause he mumbles and i can never understand his calls. and he d/c's alot. but SOMEHOW when i dont play, he never d/c's and they win 5-6 ina row.

so ummmm hmmmm, ok so generally the way i learned to play better then i was was i basically played a lot of games and watched some lcs/youtube to see how people at higher ranks play and why they do some of the things they do. now you mentioned ranked 3's there are some fairly straight forward champs that are really strong in tt i know mundo and jax are both pretty good in tt so give them a try also darius is really good there from my experience
