CSing and Not dying. Stick with this and build up from there. also playing ranked more often is a sure fire way to improve.
To be honest, maybe your friend feels like he's "hit the wall" because he playing against bronze-low silver players in normals.
You guys should try your ranked placement games because you could achieve gold which would then allow you to play against higher elo player in normals and you guys may learn a few things.
People don't always try their hardest in normals and just mess around, so you could have the false impression that you are a higher skill level than you actually are.
I've played against people like Meteos and Phreak, and it would be a false feeling of achievement if I beat them in normals when they aren't playing their best roles.

I'd actually suggested that myself first, but he thinks he'll just get agitated against more powerful opponents rather than truly improve, at least right now *shrugs*
There are three things that i have done to get me out of my block. The first thing i do is spend some time learning how to hit skillshots. The second thing i do is spend time learning how to dodge skill shots. The last thing i do to improve my gameplay is to critique myself every game. In every instance that i win or lose a team fight, and every instance that I outrotate or get outrotated, i ask myself these questions:
- What did I do wrong?
- What did i do right?
- What could i have done better?
- What could my teammates have done better?
- What did my opponents do right
- What did they do wrong
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

damnit talon i was going to do this but you stole it
also the best way to improve is to not be bad, and the first step to doing this is realizing you are bad, so stop saying you and your friend are better than average because if youre playing against bronze/low silver then youre actually below average
the second step is finding out why youre bad, from what wayne said its poor choices in summoner spells and very low CS, your friend is still rushing bloodthirster on ezreal but those games were from a week ago so i dont think the patch was out by then so just try to stay up to date with the patches, your builds are kind of weird too, im talking about the leona ARAM game where you built zerkers and a gunblade so learning that your builds are bad is also a good start
the third step is figuring out why those things are bad and make you bad, summoner spells taking away free power you can have (you should always take flash even if the champion youre playing has a built in flash, 2 is always better than 1), CS gives money and by ignoring it youre losing free money, not keeping up with patches can cause you to build suboptimal things after theyve been nerfed because you didnt want to read the patch notes, and building incorrectly gives you stats you dont want on certain champions (leona does not need AS in her build, nor does she need lifesteal or spell vamp, those are wasted stats on her, instead buy items that give stats like Armor, Magic Resist, and Health)
the fourth step is to stop doing those bad things and do good things instead making you not bad anymore

Well, when I said "pretty good", I meant I considered him to be, since he usually wins his lane (or at least decent for the level of play we're currently in, rather) and I was apparently misrecalling his typical CS. I've always considered myself to be a mediocre-at-best player :P Of course in my case it probably doesn't help that I tend to play on a laptop with a trackpad.
I sincerely appreciate the advice everybody's given and I'm practicing raising my own CS (and not getting so darned overconfident and thus making idiotic mistakes/miscalls), as well as passed the advice on to my pals (who also send their thanks).

The Flash question is a good one, and I don't know. I feel stupid for not even realizing that he stopped taking it in the 10-15 games we played in S4. He did always take it in S3, however, and if he saw either of the two of us not, would want to know why and/or urge us to.
Thanks for the graph info and all the advice :)
