Need overall advice

Hey guys. I'm struggling to make it past S3, pretty much whenever I get there I hit a huge loss streak and end up back in S5. If anybody cares to review some of my match history and see if they can spot a trend I'd be excited. Mega bummed, this is my first season and really wanted to get to gold. Climbed from B5 but notice morale is so low in low silver that it's freakishly bizarre. The biggest thing costing me wins is people give up after like 1 or 2 deaths. Or we're winning by several objectives but suddenly the team can't fight together to save their lives. Anyways, I need major help to keep climbing, Ty.

have to watch one of your games because your stats are ok, nothing really stands out of why your losing. I would guess its your obj choices during a match, like run to a fight when you can get a couple towers etc.., but would have to watch a game.

What's your CS like? If you're laning you should aim for having 80 at 10 minutes.

How much are you dying? Are you getting caught out a lot?

Are you looking for objectives that you can take? This is just going to take practice, but if you're jungling you should always be keeping an eye out for possible times to dragon. i.e: Did their bot lane just back and yours is reasonably healthy? Can you kill their bot lane first? Can you kill their jungler? Is their jungler top? If you can solo it are you entirely sure you're safe to do so?

Is there a chance to take a tower?

If you are laning (mostly mid) is there an opportunity to roam and help other lanes? I.e: You lane opponent just backed You can push the enemy under their tower and roam Your jungler can cover your lane while you roam

Are you making sure to ward? If you have 75 extra gold you should always be buying a ward given you have an empty spot, make sure you're using your trinket. That being said, did you upgrade your trinket?

It's a little hard to pinpoint from match history alone. But these are some overall concepts that are good to keep in mind :)

I hate to sound like I have hubris but I win more when I'm shot calling objectives than when I allow people to make their own decisions. That being said if someone else is on it I won't compete for attention.

Any good advice for stating my intention to shot call without coming across like a tool? People react strangely anytime you try to talk to them in ranked I've found.

Certainly from your Match History, I can see that you are very good at Nami. Your strengths stem from you playing support. Your weakness seems to lean more on Marksmen.

Consider playing champions with easy ways of farming as an ADC such as Caitlyn (Q) or Jinx (Rocket Q) or Tristana (E) etc.

Yes you will meet people who rage after a few deaths though.

P.S - You're good at jungle.

LoL is a team game. Just because you lose a lot sometimes does not mean its entirely your fault. Your team mates made plenty of mistakes as well, as did your enemies. Its just your teams mistakes were the ones that cost the game. Trainrekk has the right idea about shotcalling. Someone has to be the guy to step up and be the leader and give guidance and advice. Everyone will make mistakes, but someone has to be able to see them and capitalize on them. Too many people will tell you that if you lose, its your fault, even though this is a team game. Accept that sometimes you will lose because you cannot control what your team does 100%, and nothing will stop your Udyr from wanting to imitate Trick2G and stay in his jungle 80% of the match. Nothng
