Hello , I am a Silver V player trying to improve and well i feel stuck. i always playing everyday and constantly working on improving my gameplay ( practicing my CSing , mapawareness , warding , and objective controls ) but i feel like i am not getting any better, atleast i dont see it. ill admit i did start as bronze 5 and climbed out of that but i know i can be better with practice but i just dont feel like my practicing is getting me anywhere.

what can i do to help me become a better player?

i do keep up with updates and i do like to read up on different champions so i do have good knowledge of the majority of the champions

I've noticed from experience that a lot of low tier people have this mindset where once someone "feeds" (ie: goes 0-2 early laning phase) they become tilted. What I mean by that is that they start playing super passive in lane to the point where it puts them even more on the edge. Playing passively is not a bad thing to do, but there is such thing as playing too passively.

What I like to do when I give away a kill or two during laning phase is try to freeze my lane and focus on poking them even more. Speaking of which, trading is very important in lane as well. I've played with a lot of players that when they get poked first, they just back away to safety, which leads to a slow and painful death. You either hit them first and back off or if they manage to poke you with their skills, go in and use ur skills, then back off.

Also, always check the cs of your lane enemy. You want to have your cs be at least the same as his or her cs, if not higher. Especially if they have more kills than you. As long as your cs is in the same general area, 9 times out of 10, you are still as strong as your opponent, unless he has like 10+ kills over you.

One last tip, a good trick i like to use to have a good trade with my lane opponent, is if they use at least 1 of their offensive skill on a minion, I try to focus him and burn most of my skills on him, then quickly backing off, since his offensive skills will be on cool down. But again, this comes with more practice since you need to have somewhat of an idea of each champion skills and cool down.

hope you find these somewhat helpful. I'm pretty bad at explaining stuff.

See this is when you face a higher tier friend (like high gold on up) and just have them tell you what you're doing wrong. Also some champs just don't work in low elo because they require something from the team. like for insistent a full on tank needs damage behind him for him to be any good or immobile adc or mid that require peels. Also guides from high elo players that main what role your maining really help. Don't play the high skill cap champs that require high mechanical skill to win with, like azir or ori. Play simple champs so you can learn more about that game.

I found this youtube series to help a lot, but that's just me. I'm bronze 3 so perhaps it's a bit too low for you, but I made it out of b5, so it must've helped some :)

aiight fam, step numero 1. Try playing custom matches against homies to improve skills Ashe Irelia Fiora step numero 2. Try to chill on ranked before ur bronze 5 instead of silver 6. Tru story mang. step numero 3. JUST DO IT.

The best advice is the practical one: find a high elo player in your region (platinum +) and ask him kindly to spectate your game. He will tell you exactly where you've mistaken. it's a good option which helped me.

Something that helped me get from silver to plat was just playing a lot of wukong. Only playing one champion really helps when your climbing because once you get good at the champ you can just focus on other things like csing, map awareness, trading, and obj control. A key to this tho is picking a champ that can do a few roles like wukong can mid, top, jungle, and support (kindve i mean ive pulled it off in plat before lol).
