I was in silver last season now im in bronze. I hate it. I hate the people (flamers and trolls) but what I hate the most is now Im finding myself becoming one. I lost my promos to B1 now im kinda in a slump. Just not what i was. I have no idea. Its not the lack of wanting to get back into silver. I honestly try my best every game. Is there any thing I can do before I really stop loving league?
Being gold or silver or whatever isn't about the actual rank. It's how you got there.
When I saw that big silver icon (not that great, but let me say it), I didn't just think "Omg I'm silver." I thought about my friends who trained me, who beat me up (figuratively), and all the challenges I faced. Hell, just a couple months ago I didn't even know what kiting was and thought Lee Sin was OP (please don't flame me, it's just an opinion). Hell, even won lane against a flash+ignite Fiora as Shen. ON MY FIRST TIME.
If you want the mentality, just think of the struggle. The struggle is real. Only the strongest can beat it. And you know what? You're not strong enough yet.
But you will be.
Understand that the point of playing ranked isn't to get challenger. It's to get better. When you get better, and get higher ranks as a byproduct, that's when you can truly enjoy league. Not for the +20 lp count, but for the "I can do ____ play" or "I mastered _____ champion". Play for fun, not for LP.

Here is a gif of a cute puppy to give you that extra mental push.
Im probably guessing you started playing ranked last season mid way through the season? Alot of people got silver ranks for free. I went 1-10 in my provisionals and got silver III. If can't carry out of bronze you are most likely bronze no offense.
