LoL has an underlying starcraftesque set of microing and macroing.
It's about managing those things properly.
Macros:
-In short this refers to map control and lane control.
-A team winning the lane adds to the overall macro of the game (destroying the enemy nexus)
-A team with proper map control (warding, baron/dragon kills) then achieves a gold advantage, as well can properly counteract enemy movements.
Micros:
-In short this refers to HOW you control the map/lane
-Good farming
-Good plays
-Counter-building appropriately
-How you move in your lane
-How you approach a team fight
-How you push your lane
-How you ward your lane.
etcetcetcetc.
I'd assign those to different categories myself. (Assuming they're assigned to the same as Starcraft's)
Macro Management -
Wards up in the right places all the time
Watching minimap
Being able to see a situation on the other side of the map
Keeping lane under control whilst stealing jungle (Dar1en style)
Pushing a lane properly
Thinking for people other than yourself (If I kick Ashe over there as Lee, it puts Cait in danger...)
etc
Micro Management -
Last hits
Character control
Ability placement
Controlling a team fight
Dodging stuff
etc

So do I.
I can state things that are good to do properly, but that doesn't mean I can do them.
It's good in basketball to get the ball in the hoop, but that doesn't mean you do it every time!
Two Macro Tips:
Play safe, not defensively.
When you are ahead, get more ahead.
Two Micro Tips:
Make sure your creeps are where the enemy doesn't want them to be.
Make sure that you aren't wasting resources.
These are very broad, but i feel that if you can think about these 4 things, you will become a better player.

No you're right.
Just give up instead of improving.

Take a shower and come back and play.

You're thinking you're a bad player.
How can you ever even hope to play well if all you do is tell yourself you have slow reactions and you're bad?
Self improvement starts in your head. Realistically evaluate your mistakes, and fix them.
For example, the best players are incredibly confident, but simultaneously self critical.
I'm never content with myself when I mess up a play. I want every play to go perfectly.
