I've watched streams and I've tried to copy the top players but I am still stuck at 1400 elo.

I want to know from Diamond and Plat players: what was your path like to high elo? Perhaps you were once a mid-tier elo player for sometime but then found a way to move up the ladders, I want to know what you think made that happen.

Thanks guys!!!

1400 is good. Top 30% of ranked players are at 1200 or above.

you may of reached your true elo maby? record some games and watch them to see what you do and/or bad habbits you have and try to improve

I just play Riven but this my smurf

Play a ton and realize what is going to happen before it happens. Realize sometimes there is nothing you can do, try to help/prevent where you can. Learn not the best picks, but the safest ones. Ezreal comes to mind.

Sometimes you lose, there's no getting around that. Losing well separates good from bad in anything. I honestly felt for a long time like, "I'm not the reason we're losing, but we're still losing" and I thought I'd go up rating. I didn't actually go up rating until I identified the reason we were losing and helped my team prevent it.

And don't talk **** to teammates, ever. Not only will you eventually get banned but it doesn't help. Just try to move on and forget about it. Nobody likes losing. You're more likely to lose if everyone is pissed off. Just play more and get more experience.

pick mid and always gank bot for a single or maybe a double kill
or
pick adc and farm all day to carry late game

easiest ways to carry imo

edit: why downvotes this is classified insider knowledge rite here
