Carrying my bad friends

Hello there fellow summoners. Anyways...

I keep deciding to play with some friends of mine from the real world. They are actually very, very bad. So bad I can no longer play 5v5 with them but play with them I still do. I keep losing quite a bit of games but don't want to hurt their feelings because they are like that. Is there some strategy I should follow to stay on level and winning? I was ranked up in gold last season but haven't had the time to play ranked enough to climb up there again

They are barely out of lvl 30 with only one full set of tier 3 runes.

Make a new account and just have fun with them. I have a bronze smurf and I play with my cousin all the time and we do stupid stuff, it's not about winning and losing it's all about having fun. You can have that account just to go on rank and be serious and you can have another one just to play with your friends and just have a good time with them.

If you really want to help them improve download a program like lolreplay or skinspotlight replay and record the games you play with them. Watch the recordings and give them one or two things that they can practice every week. Like for example you can tell your top laner to look for more opportunities to teleport in for a flank or tell your ADC to practice last hitting minions.

That was some very helpful posts. Guess I will see if I can help them improve using that kind of things.

Yeah I love playing league competitively and just haven't had time to play ranked seriously this season.

I can work on how I present help I guess. A lot of it is they like to play a champion that is pretty strong but hard to play and they won't read builds on the internet at all.
