In desperate need of some pointers

League is pretty crappy right now. I have no main role because I can't seem to find a role that just sticks. I'm a good jungler but it's boring as hell. I'm a good top laner but it's boring as hell. I'm a good support player but, you guessed it, boring as hell. ADC and Mid are fun but...I'm just not the best carry. I play so many games. I play all the time. I play meta picks. I ward. I try finding a main (which always fails). I read about the entire game and I eat breath and sleep fucking League and I can't get past this mechanical and mental cap that keeps me from winning games. It seems like the more I play the worse I get. And I'm just being plunged into an endless whirlpool of tilt with no hope in sight.

I take breaks, I have fun (sometimes) and I try to soak in as much information as possible but I'm just not growing. I know people that picked up the game a few months ago and they're already Plat. I don't understand I just can't find my niche, something I'm good at.

I have no clue what kind of questions I should be asking at this point. Just, if you have any thoughts add a comment or something, I really need a a pointer or something

Can you give me an idea of some of the champions you play? Hopefully then I can have something to work with. You seem very cooperative and willing to learn, maybe if you would like we can duo in some normals and I could give some tips and tricks. PM me if you want to know more!

I would say to not play meta picks. Once the meta dies, those champions will loose popularity and you'll have to eventually switch champions if you never had an interest in them to begin with. If you play champions you love, you'll stay with them longer and you'll improve your skills.

There's no magical trick to it, look at guides of that champion, look at Diamond+ commentaries of that champ., and most importantly PRACTICE.

You say you play meta picks, but have you tried maining one that goes against that? I have a few friends that play nothing but shaco jungle, and they have nothing but great comments about their matches.

And don't be afraid about nidalee nerfs, she's been nerfed and reworked plenty as it is, she'll probably be staying about the same now in terms of her infamous combo

Don't just play league, play other stuff as well.

Not just for the sake of taking breaks, but for the sake of not getting stuck on one track.

Playing other games will help you keep your learning muscles in motion, and you'll not get stuck in one set pattern.

I have a difficult time explaining it, but it's kind of like... Deep study is really great, but if you don't vary it up then your skill, effort, prowess and development will stagnate. On a small scale, varying which champions and which modes you play will help. On a larger scale playing different kinds of games will help.

At least I think it helps. It makes too much sense for it to help.

P.S. I should be in bed 4 hours ago, I hope this makes sense. <.<
