I'm looking for serious guidance on league. I've been gold 4 the past 2 seasons. This season I was silver 1 in my promos and ever since then I've been getting super fucking destroyed every single game. I am now bronze 1. I have never been this elo before and find it impossible to win any games. Every single game someone on my team afks, or rage quits the game. I'm losing my shit. Did they change ranked this season or amd I just really getting worse and worse?

Valorant is free

Try a different game for few days

Whats your maiin role? Whats champs do you play? Also i can give you some coaching.

league is not for everyone

I am a support and jungle main.

hit me up in dm i can coach you for 2 games just to find your bad habbits and make you improve by just some basics. Sure its free but i need a vouch on my topic if my coaching helped you out to improve.
Im a jungle main in d1

In general, always main 2 champs per role you're trying to RANK with, so you learn and understand the matchups.
Also use every tool available to you (camp timers, or scouting to see which enemy player could be on tilt/longest losing streak etc.) As a SUP or JG go camp that lane.

As a JG its a Time Race.
Look at team comps, choose which lane character has a better chance of carrying the lane and get that lane ahead (or prioritize pathing to optimize gank patterns in favor of that lane).

As a Sup, similar to jg look at what lane you want to assist more (ie Yummy sitting on fed Garen or WW etc.).
Early game calculate if your lane wins lv1,2,3 matchup and try to bait an all in to define the lane, and then just deep ward to keep track of enemy jg to optimize counter play or rotation.

And lastly cant stress this enough, if you're playing rank and you lose 2 in a row TAKE-A-BREAK!!!!

Surprisingly, my friends took a break from LoL for a couple weeks and came back much stronger and started climbing

As weird as it is, your mental is such a huge part of the game and sometimes a break is all you need to reset
That short break helps you see the game differently since if you're on a down streak you kind of get locked in to a certain mindset and gameplay plan

I'd also offer very casual coaching for a cheap price that'll at least help you get to around G4

I'm 100% certain it's just my teamates. 6 games in a row I've lost and my opgg reflects it greatly. My last match my bot lane and mid lane went 4/32 combined. Saying racial slurs and calling us retards. This game is depressing.
