Just looking for some advice on what I can improve on.

I started playing LoL near the middle of Season 3. Got to Gold 3 in my first season.I quit playing in season 4 to focus on some family things, but came back about a month before the season ended to get Gold 5. This season I haven't been playing as hard as I planned, but I am starting to. Currently Silver 1 and just looking for some tips from some of you better players.

When I don't support I Jungle. If I can't do either I pref to adc. Not sure if any of that matters, but figured id put it in here. Check out my OP.GG. Thank you in advance.

Firstly, I think you have a great mentality when it comes to your main role. You have a preferred role, but you also understand that you will not always get it and you have a back up plan.

It looks like you like to play Naut. In the current meta, he is very strong in both support and jungle roles. I didn't look around too much in your profile but it looks like you usually build your support or jungle specific item then you go for a tanky item like Randiun or Frozen Heart. If you are supporting, I would recommend going for more supporting items instead of just getting tanky. Righteous Glory or Iron Solari would by my first choice. However I would only build Solari if you are going against a heavy AP team.

I have played a bit of jungle Naut and I build Righteous Glory immediately after Cinderhulk in almost every situation. The ganking potential is crazy. Instead of using your hook to engage on someone, you can just sprint directly up to them and snare them with an auto, then follow that up with a hook if they get away.

The most important thing to remember is to also be watching yourself and being aware of your mistakes to improve in ways other than just mechanics or item purchasing. If you can find flaws in your own play and correct them consistently, you will inevitably get better. Keep a good mentality even when some baddie is raging at you. He is probably wrong, and he is definitely going about telling you in the wrong way, but maybe you could have played around his poor plays in some way. I think this kind of mentality is extremely important for a support player to have, simply because it is not only about how you play against your opponent, it is about how you play together with your lane partner.

Hope this helps.

i think you should become more familiar with other roles even if you wont play them much it gives you a lot more insight to the game

Outside of build advice and telling you to ward more, it mostly comes down to keep playing, or find someone to play with that you don't mind pointing out where you are screwing up or what you could do better.

I, personally, made ADC my second role. You can play other lanes and get some nice insight/information out of it, but by knowing how to play ADC I noticed a decent difference because my understanding of how they work and when they were vulnerable improved. Even just practicing CSing and playing against bots can make a small difference. My harassing in lane improved a lot doing this.

Best thing you can do. Stand next to the carry all game and just peel like crazy. Don't let a minion auto get to them.
