Hi everyone, my name is Andrew. I've been playing league for about two months now, and it's safe to say I'm addicted. I've progressed quite a bit in these two months, and have a current normal record of 231-216.

The problem started when I played ranked, and I went 5-5 in my placement games. I was placed in Bronze I, and slowly I've fallen down to Bronze III with a record of 11-21. I'm trying to improve still, and I am, but help from a higher elo player would definitely help.

These are the champs I main-
Top- Jayce, Zed
Mid- Lux, Zed, Katarina, Ryze, Jayce, Diana (Work in Progress)
Jungle- J4, Nautilus
adc- I'm a terrible adc, I'd rather let someone else adc so I rarely ever adc.
Support- Sona, Thresh, Blitz

My strongest lane is mid for sure, and I recently started jungling.

So any help is appreciated, even a comment would help. My ign is Lataille, thanks for reading.

P.S.- I live in Mountain Standard time and usually play 11-4, and 10+ at night.

Can you please be a bit more specific with what kind of help you need?

Your champion pool seems on point.

What do you feel ends up losing you most of your games in solo queue?

I just need overall help to improve. I just feel like I'm at a point where I lane pretty well against lower elo players, but against higher elo players I get destroyed, and I always feed. I just feel like my laning phase hasn't really improved and I just need some pointers that might just be little things that are holding me back from being better.

I feel like it's not always me, but a lack of focus in team fights seems to always make me lose games. Even when I duo queue with my friends that are in a higher division, I seem to struggle with whatever I do.

It sounds like you need to refine your overall game sense and focus on improving your mechanics across various champions. You've already got the champion pool at your disposal to do work, so try to sit down and realize at what points you're losing advantages to superior (or equal) players.

Remember, everyone starts the game with the same options available to each other. Sure, masteries/runes/etc come into play, but it's what's happening inbetween the game's start and end that ultimately need to be pinned down.

Some bullet points off the top of my head:

Are you missing a lot of CS in lane?
Do you feel like you're making profitable trades?
How do you view item paths?
Do you know when you're in the advantage and when you're not?

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I feel like some of my trading can be worked on, and the item paths vary game to game. I'll try to start focusing on those things, thank you!
