Yeah good tips. My problem is that I need like, a coach or something to teach me fundamentals of the game. I've literally played 1000-2000 League games overall I suspect, of various types, and maybe a few HUNDRED games each ranked season, so I very solidly deserve bronze or low silver. I learn little bits, and one season I played like 100 Riven games and 100 Katarina games and took notes on each game to try to improve. I am very forgetful unless I focus very specifically on a champion like that.
yea maybe after that many games you could use some reading or something to like put the mechanics you picked up over so many matches to good use
Part of it is I virtually never watch good players or read overall gameplay guides for champions so I sort of draw my own solo queue lessons rather than seeing what good players do.
Like, there are presumably rules where if you're champion X vs. champion Y, you rush an early level 2 and then you do cheese Z, or you wait until level 3, or you know that you do 750 burst damage and you wait until the numbers match up just right and then execute properly.
I'm at the stage where I try to push towers and get high CS compared to everyone else. I also buy wards and pinging map things.

Lol I was gone for an hour and so much fun happened.
Kass start flask + 3 pots, level 1 get q, level 2 w. Just spam q on enemy for free harass, use w on cd to last hit so you can infinite mana to harass.
Build order is
1. ROA
2. frozen fist or hourglass against heavy ad
or
2. Deathcap
then eventually void staff, bv, as needed.

yea like it depends on what you want out of the game but seeing as you've played like a good 2k games maybe you're a bit tired of being in bronze or something
i'd say just keep your champion pool small and reliable and just play a ton

you cant always blame your team for losing. i have the same problem where i just get super mad and scream at my computer but after the game, i can reflect and see what i fucked up on and how i can change it for next game.

No offense but I think the problems may stretch way beyond being mechanically apt at the game.
wait. wut.
you know how hard it is for garen and renek to cs.
beginning to have doubts about this fizz jungle tho.
This game sounds awesome to watch. Just out of sheer insanity.
i was following until the last part
ranged top laners is all i can play T_T
i really like how like 7 minutes into this video guy goes crazy about some peppers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUfYewyK1WI&list=UUWIfnDrWU_Cvc1a8qZribhA
i think closer would appreciate it
It's the most frustrating experience. "Lol have fun eating these autos while you cant do shit because ranged champs also get to have anti melee mechanics".
yea, basically
it's torture for the top laner and like champions i like to play like lissandra can deal with all-ins pretty easily too so it's not like you give them any choice
but i don't like bruiser champions so that's what i do
sorry

So my entire team got anhiquilated by a top Jinx, stuff happens but damn that dude was using her pokes like crazy he literally carried the entire enemy team to victory, he even did a backdoor killing our defenses and destroyed the core.
What are some concrete suggestions you would offer to improve?
Why I mentioned the spectate/coach thing -- I suspect there are super basic aspects of the game I simply don't grasp well (when to attack, when to defend, when to do objectives, etc.), and/or I don't retain things that I learn long enough to consistently put them into play. I'm sometimes good at being formulaic and ordered, but very bad at being creative, improvising, or learning on the fly. It may be a learning disability, or just old age, or psychology. My memory used to be awesome, but it's certainly not anymore.
I figure if I give up trying to learn and remember things it won't help either, though! So I'll at least keep trying, and maybe something will stick. For an example of a screwup today, I used Fiora ult on Vlad -- it didn't even occur to me that his pool will simply dodge all the damage. Oops. However, I managed not to end laning phase too far behind, kept a good attitude, roamed mid once for a kill, and tried to be near teamfights so that I could get help. The Vlad raged and it went well overall.
Maybe this is the beginning of an upward trend!
*edit* Thanks for the Night Blue reminder. I have heard those videos are good, and maybe they can provide some useful general principles even if they're several patches back.
This is my life.
The Fizz was trolling hard. Lucian quit (who can blame him), and I was the only one ahead in my lane until Fizz gave Garen a couple of kills. At one point our team was down 2 to 22 in kills (both mine, but like it mattered).
2 games, 2 losses. Promos aren't going well.
Edit: Might as well play game 3 and end this promo charade.
Game 3 is off to a lovely start with the team fighting in selection. "Do not ban Akali." *Bans Akali.*

After my placement matches I was placed in Silver IV. Just won my promo series into Silver III
Kinda feel like I'm cheating as I usually duo which means that The chances of getting the role I like (Support) is now 1/4 instead of 1/5 and there's a higher chance there's someone on my team who knows what they're doing

Two wins in a row to get, that's not bad at all. Chin up.
I struggled early against Leblanc with Talon, but came alive at level 6. I gave her a really dumb kill though when I went to run away and accidentally clicked the mini map and walked right back to her. That one was for free. After that I kept her in check, but as expected, I kinda got blown up in the team fights after throwing down my burst.

My mechanics have become poop. My CS is terrible. My ganks barely end up in anything good. My recent wins involved someone else hard carrying everyone else. I'm sure that if I play now, I'll get put in Bronze.
Been practicing a lot more top laning recently. I notice that while I often beat or zone out the other laner, I'm having trouble dealing with ganks. I often die to ganks. Playing mostly Yasuo top, Jayce/Jax, every now and then and Nasus whenever I feel like chilling.

You might want to look through the ingame options screens. I -think- there is one that disables minimap clicks so that you won't accidentally walk or skillshot in a weird direction because of the minimap.
Ah, nice. I'd like it to be a control click for movement. That would be perfect.
That's a great problem to have, really. Buy some wards, win the game.
Not a very good irelia player, and most these probably "no shit" but:
-Play semi passive till around 9 when you'll have full hiten style.
-When you wanna engage on your oppenent from range, Q to a low health minion next to them to close the gap. Some people are idiots and it'll catch them off guard when they go up to cs, since you still have your Q you can still chase them down.
-Try to fight in/near minions when you have your ult, so you can hit both your opponent and their wave with it.
-When trading, activate W smack them a few times then get out.
-Conserve mana when you can, it's her biggest weakness early game.
-Her main combo is suppose to be W-AA-Q-AA-E
Played with an ap trist earlier. All i did was black shield her and she did the rest. Just totally no sold vayne's and nami's CC
thanks for the tips
i think this is gonna be my set roster for ranked as i make my climb
bans: lee, yasuo and morgana
top: panth and lizzy
mid: ori, lizzy, syndra and lux
support: thresh, nami and sona
adc: mf and jinx
sounds like my kind of group. i mean like you can see my top lane options are kind of limited so that's why i wanna learn maybe one or two normal ones.
this week i'm starting, only one win to gold 2, imma try to do one or two ranked games every day
This is an excellent Irelia guide that also explains different matchups and how to play them:

Problem: I saw their jungler coming.
It really irritates me when I zone them (or they just play super passive) which shoves minions and somehow they get frozen there, even though I only last hit. It leaves me feeling very vulnerable to ganks and feel the need to farm somewhere safe.

It won't be a year, but I don't think it'll be before worlds in October either.
probably some time during preseason. maybe November?

Who is a good support with Corki? This person I duo with keeps picking him and he's a good ADC overall, but Nami just doesn't mesh well with him IMO. Bear in mind I really CBA playing Thresh or Leo.

I think Nami's really good with Corki. The amount of burst you can put on someone if you land a bubble, plus the slow on E makes it really easy to land your Q.
Leona's really good. Even if you don't wanna play her. Zyra is probably pretty good with him, again just because of the sheer burst damage.
