I keep losing rank no matter what. Any tips?

Okay so I know what all of you are thinking, "Oh my god shut up you're losing because your bad...."

So I've been playing League for about 5 years now and have managed to make it to gold 3, I'm currently gold 5 due to demotion. I actually got to gold 3 by changing up my mindset and allowing myself to improve. I would watch replays of the games I lose and even the games I win to see what went well. I also watch pro players stream and take notes on that to improving. However for the last 1 month or so I've lost 99% of my rank games except for 1 that I've won but that's because my team was amazing. Whenever I play ranked I would go positive all the time and wouldn't feed at all. However I'm not blaming my team for feeding because I know that we're all the same skill level but I for someone reason can't seem to win a single rank game at all. I would lose, lose and lose. I honestly thought about quitting so many times, but I never gotten around to that since I'm so attached to the game. I just want to get better and hopefully stop losing. Like when will this eternal losing streak end.... Please be kind and leave helpful tips on how I can get out of "elohell" because I've lost so many games to the point where I'm being matched up with really nooby players. I know elohell doesn't exist but I like to say that I'm literally in it. Anyways thanks for reading and please let me know how I can get better and just in general stop losing. It just makes me so frustrated knowing that some of my friends who only played this game for a year are all gold 1- diamond5 and makes me wonder maybe I'm just bad, since this is my 5th year playing. I main Ahri and currently learning Azir and Corki(mid).

(1st of all, ignore the Tonzilla kid, he's an awful person honestly. Literally sits on forums all day making negative comments) If you're on a bad loss streak, its always a bad thing to continue playing ranked since losing actually effects you negatively. If you tilt, stop playing ranked or stop playing in general. Whenever I go into ranked for a day, if I lose my first game I play one more, if I lose that game I stop playing ranked for the day. If I win 5 in a row, then lose a game then win then lose, I stop playing. I do my best to make sure i get a maximum of 2 losses a day for mmr efficiency and to make sure I'm playing the best I can. Thats the most I can really say atm. I havent seen you play, so i have no clue about your positioning, warding and reactions/all ins. Your cs seems pretty solid and its not like you're KDAs are typically that bad either. It could all come down to placement in fights and map awareness/pinging etc.

Thanks for your comment! Also I accepted your request so maybe we can play sometimes. I realize that I am on tilt even outside of league, for example I would get so pressured to play rank because I see that my friends are getting higher elo and etc. I also put a lot of pressure and tend to expect too much from myself which I know is really bad.

its because you learn inefficiently . Also losing those games is more than likely bringing you back down after a "lucky" streak or just putting you where you belong. I use to be stuck in gold 2 until i watched lastshadows coaching videos on youtube now im diamond 5. just look up lastshadow9 on youtube watch the coaching videos lcs coach. also you play too hard of champions. If you could hit ahri skills shots consistently or play something like azir good you wouldnt be stuck in gold. Try the annies the pantheons the kayles and learn that.

Thanks for responding! I've seen some of Lastshadow's videos and they've helped in the past. I perform fairly well with Ahri and I don't even dare to use Azir in rank except 1 time and I lost. I've played Annie and Kayle in the past, actually used to main kayle but those champions I'm not really good at. I'm good with mobile assassins which is why I tend to stick to ahri.

Btw, congrats on diamond!

You use this term "really good" except for you are asking for advice and are stuck in gold 5. If you were actually good at these champions you would have no problem.

Mr. Diamond, he said NOT really good at. You keep twisting words and you're just making your image look bad.

my "image" to silver/bronze dunning kruger players that wont ever rank up doesnt bother me at the end of the day im diamond you are not. He said he was really good at ahri before he edited his post btw because he is smart

And you basically just insulted me and played around with your huge ego when I was pointing out something.

Azir is harder than Ahri.
