So as a new player, I have started playing as an ADC in bot lane (Sivir). I have played a ton of matches over about a week. I seem to NEVER win. Not trying to rage just for info. In all other game types i don't do to badly but i enjoy summoners rift and never win there. I know how to play well enough and if i understand the game i should be playing with others my level. I don't know if it is me or my team that are doing so badly that i lose all the time. I don't get pushed around allot in lane phase and usually am higher lvl than my counterparts in Bot lane, but it just seems that i am the only one sharing information and coming up with or sharing a game plan.

Any other information/tips/comments/gifs/jokes would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time, id love to keep playing but it is just not being fun any more getting my face smashed off ever game so i'm out of ideas.

Edit: I usually do team builder but random as well.

Maybe you should add me and let me spectate your games and I can tell you what you need to improve on. But just looking at your match history I can tell you suck at farming minions. In most games every minion wave you kill about 1/6.

As a fairly new player myself, i can't obviously give you any pro advice, but

  • Like other said - try to get as many minions as possible / you need gold. It's the most basic thing. If you have earned twice as much gold as another player and spent it on the right items, you are a lot stronger than he is.
  • Don't get too close to the enemies, so they can't hit you, just follow a tankier guy and hit the enemies from some distance.
  • In very low level games, it seems a lot of people don't care so much about the objectives and just run around killing each other, as this is kind of the fun part of the game anyway, but because of this, you can often win the match by just taking down turrets and pushing the lanes, when the rest of the ppl are fighting somewhere else. Teleporting works great for this.
