Regardless, it should never drop as low as that. Warding up your flanks or warding around an objective you're forcing shouldn't take any time and there will always be moments where nothing really is going on.

Uh, no, you do.

Challenger players, heck, LCS players still look to always improve because there are still people better than them, and there are still people that will be better than them. And in your case, there are a lot of people that are better than you. You know what, let me reword that. There are still people that are at a better rank than you, and we all know you want to be at that same rank. We want you at a better rank, initially because we all have a natural urge to be nice and help, and now, probably because you're starting to get irritating. But regardless, we still want you to get better.

I'm looking at your match history right now. I'm not going to give you advice because it's obviously useless directed towards you, but what I can tell you, putting the intentionally feeding games aside, is that when you do well, you win (for the most part). When you lose, you do poorly. I mean, no ****, right? The thing is, very few games where you do exceptionally well, you lose, at least not much more than any other person around here. And it's not like you're getting more bad players than any of us. Some games, they're out of your control. Secondly, you have games where you do poorly as well, and these generally are games you aren't playing ADC. Obviously, based on that, YOU could be doing better, alongside your team doing better. From that, obviously you do need our advice.

What you need to get through your skull is that the system is fair. You can get unlucky, sure, but if you're good enough to climb, you will climb. I think you can climb because your ADC stats are exceptional. Take it as you will, but just stick to ADC. Don't bother with anything else unless you have to. I mainly just play support in ranked, and that's how I climb. I think if you stick to ADC for the most part, you will see results.

EDIT: I just want to genuinely ask you, are you having issues in your life? Because you have moments where you're determined, enthusiastic and receptive to improving, where you say you're changing, and we believe you because we can see it for ourselves. And then you pull this ******** on us.

I do have a lot going on in real life, I'm probably going to be homeless in the next month or 2, I have no money, I can't find a job anywhere, I'm a High School drop out(I have my reasons), I'm trying to compete in online tournaments so I can get in some money in my pocket and I'm trying to go to college to get a higher education unless gaming goes somewhere. So, yes. I have a ton of issues going on in real life.

All this time it would have been nice to know that your frustration to climb wasn't just out of wanting to be challenger, but rather it was out of needing to be challenger. If that's the case don't make yourself homeless just because of a video game.

I went though a similar thing a while back and I even ending up leaving League, and Mobafire completely for a few months while I got things in my personal life in order, now I'm back and I have been playing better then ever. Happy personal life, better gaming life. Trust me on this.

Becoming homeless has nothing to do with the game, it's just the way things are.

Yeah but you seem more obsessed with winning at a game you aren't winning than fixing your real problems in life.

I want to put one generic piece of advice here to see what you guys think of it.

Try to rank in your best state possible. Don't rank if your head hurts, or if you're in a losing streak (you'll be angry and make bad choices), or if you're sleepy, or if you had a hard day and just got back from work/college.

I always play one or two normal games before playing ranked, just to see how I'm doing. If I'm sucking too hard I refrain from playing ranked games. This often meant playing ranked less than once a week if college got too heavy, even playing only when decay came close to due (back when gold and silver had decay), but that's how I climbed, if slowly. You can also see what you're doing wrong in the normal matches, without the pressure that means playing ranked.
