Need Advice on Game Play

Hey guys, I appreciate your time for reading my thread. As the title says, I'm looking for some advice on my game play. I started at silver V when I first placed this season and I've slowly decayed down to bronze III. I know I am not a good player. I'm not your typical bronze who thinks that I am good, but the rest of the team is holding me back. I make mistakes and I try to learn from them, but I just keep dropping. I don't believe my skill level has dropped any over the past few months. I'm just losing more games for some reason.

I main support and jungle. I've read and watched lots on how to improve my game play. I try to force my team to take objectives, I ward (all though I suck at late game warding, improving on it though), I don't try to be a hero and 1v5 or trade a kill for a kill, and I try my best to communicate with the team and create a friendly atmosphere in our game. I do get frustrated sometimes though and will occasionally type something if someone goes 0-10 even after I ask them multiple times to play more passive.

I feel like even though I have dropped from silver V to bronze III I have been demoted in rank, but as a player I have improved. Since dropping I have refocused on how I can improve. I've become a better team player, I've learned to take objectives over kills, etc. Like I said though, I just keep dropping and I can't figure out why. Any advice on my predicament? Is it possible I am just a bronze V and I was originally placed in silver V as a fluke? I'm willing to take any advice, whether it's bad or good. Also, I'm willing to play normals with anyone if they'd like to watch me play and help critique the mistakes I am making. Thanks guys :)

What types of supports do you play? I started out with Thresh, but my team would never follow up on my engage so I'd just die. So, I switched to backline supports (primarily Nami) and since I didn't have to put myself in absolute danger to trigger an engage, I started getting way better results. I can't really speak much about jungle, but tell us the specifics of what you play and how.

You have got to get more cs when you jungle, 78 cs average on a feral flame jungle like ww is not good at all! Same thing with Master Yi! Support is hard to carry with, can you? Yes you can but it is hard...very hard. My suggestion is to play more ww jungle and focus on that farm until 6 then farm, gank when ults up, farm more repeat to win!

You might want to try rammus, he has a lot of impact all throughout the game and isn't to hard to play, alternatively lee sin has strong presence all game but he's a lot harder to master

Good news guys. Got back into silver last night while playing support for 95% of the games :). Got here all the way from bronze III in about a week.
