Most players are completely unaware of mistakes they make. Trying to point out a lot of mistakes without a step-by-step explanation on why it was a mistake (impossible in game) also just tends to offend people.
And I mean completely unaware like people who miss easter eggs in paintings and get their minds blown when someone takes the time to point it out clearly.

I once killed a "Support Lee Sin" while he did just about everything to get at me and failed. Immediately upon death he said "WTF D/C and you kill noob". It wasn't very convincing.
Of course he then spent the rest of the game saying that despite the fact that their ADC had like 20 farm total and they both were 0/6 I sucked and if he hadn't D/Cd we would've been absolutely stomped.
Haha, so I just had the enemy team try the two top push all the towers down strategy in blind pick. Guess what guys, letting Vayne free farm bot is not a good idea in solo queue...

Apparently they should have used the 5 man 4 minute inhib teleport strategy.
I still remember the first time I was ever given friendly advice in LoL, assumed the person was being a douchewad, and then realized that they were actually totally 100% correct. And nice about it. Since then I've always tried to be understanding whenever someone gives me advice, and I try to be as nice as possible when giving advice. It still almost always is taken the wrong way
People hate on Stonewall too much. Yeah, the tier lists are dumb, and he's not anywhere near professional quality, but he's still a better player than most of the people in this thread, and his videos are entertaining and informative.
Anyway, I really wish I could CS, good God. I kind of enjoy ad carry as a role in itself (and I play support a lot as well), but when I have 100 CS at 22 minutes I just want to cry.

I found for myself the hardest wall to overcome for CS was the difference between the farming phase of play, and the later phases of play, and how as an ADC to approach the two. When you're farming, you mostly want to consider just last hitting, and freeze the lane unless you have a reason to push to tower.
Once you reach a certain point in the game, it's ok, to, say, assuming Twitch is and always will be my model, use the WE combo to get all nearby minions to enough health to be quickly dispatched with an AA. And suddenly, especially when matched with a Q, you're having an AS buff, so finishing them off is almost 100% assured on every minion. And if you miss one, whatever, you still just got 5cs in like a second.
By 22 minutes you've probably passed into the phase where you can wander by any lane and get 6 cs like it's nothing, which also will probably have some life steal in there. Add in passing an open wolves(3) and/or wraiths(4), and you're at maybe 20 seconds including travel time for 13 cs. Or if you're still going bot, take the golemns at least, which you should be able to solo after a certain point in no time, and then take the whole wave and the backup.
I found that for a long time my problem with CS wasn't the laning phase. Laning phase I was fine, then all of a sudden my opponent would be 20-30 up, which is like, 2 kills worth. After laning phase is over you should still be somewhat focusing on CS, as long as you don't miss important teamfight stuff
lag/latency psa: I was troubleshooting random and painful (700 ms) lag spikes. Culprit? I was taking photos and videos of my new kitten, and dropbox was syncing them upstream from my phone on wifi and downstream to my gaming pc and my wife's rig. Paused dropbox sync (after trying the port forwarding and other stuff, yay new docsis 3 modem?) and I've been solid.

I fight too much and have to go back often to have high CS numbers. I generally just compare myself to my opponent, though, and I try to keep them down at the same time.
I run into a lot of situations where my team probably could do Baron safely, but spend thirty seconds figuring out whether they want to actually do Baron and so by the time they get around to doing Baron the enemy team has figured out that we might possibly be doing Baron and everything goes horribly wrong for us
I'm not sure why, but a lot of players seem to have gotten worse at wanting to secure objectives recently. I've had plenty of games where I've pinked dragon, the enemy bot lane and mid have backed, all of us are at full health and everyone will recall while I ping futilely for help.
it is the worst feeling in this game.
OH COOL GUYS YOU'RE DOING BARON A FULL MINUTE AFTER I PINGED FOR US TO DO IT WHEN YOU RIGHT THERE. RIGHT BESIDE IT. BUT YOU BACKED INSTEAD. AT HALF HEALTH. TO BUY.
The worst feeling in the world is when you dredge-line an ulting Wukong into the middle of your team.
I did that earlier with Alistar accidentally at like 40 minutes. Yeah...we lost. The enemy Ezreal also was legendary so it wasn't all my fault, but ;_;
I got WW in ARAM and almost re-rolled. Saw we had TF and Nidalee for poke so went for it, even though I've only see WW do really bad. Went with my Armor/Mr/HP runes and my singed mastery for MPen and tankyness. Got a chalice and dorans to start then tanky. The armore mana combine for FF and FH, Wits end, spirit visage, and ninja tabi as they had no cc (game was over at this point. Next was going to finish into a FF).
I was murdering people. I had a good team surrounding me, but with my natural sustain and tankiness, I just couldn't die. And it allowed my team to poke and do dmg. Plus the ult is really good. Turns out all the bad WW's try to build dmg and that doesn't work.

I tend to ignore ARAM pentakill pics, especially after I played horrible as yi for 40 minutes in an ARAM game once, and the clock just ticked, and tristiana just stole my first penta ever.
EDIT
also i was just curious. I wonder how much Dominion play has dropped since ARAM came about. I used to play it to screw around, now play ARAM.
Volibear top is my safety net in ranked, he is my friend and friends don't let friends drop to Bronze II.
Seriously, I don't seem to be able to screw up with him. It can be a non-stellar performance, but I will always get big and stompy and flip people and be a credit to my team overall.
And I just discovered that Trundle and Voli make great buddies, did you almost escape Trundle's 3 slows? NAH, GET FLIPPED BACK INTO THE PILLAR, SCRUB. AND HERE'S ANOTHER SLOW BECAUSE FUCK YOU IN PARTICULAR.

The SECOND I noted that I've been having way higher quality soloqueue games recently, I get stuck in the worst game imaginable as Kog'Maw. For one, their entire team was miles above our team in terms of skill level AND game understanding. Their lee camped bot the first three minutes since my soraka didn't bother to put any of her wards down at all, so I got too low to farm effectively and their gold I vayne crushed us since soraka apparently had it in her head that she could trade effectively with her and her sona. Our Aatrox does not make a single play in any other lane. Okay, whatever, I tell my team to ignore us and win other lanes.
As soon as I said this, EVERY SINGLE PERSON comes bot for a 5v3 teamfight that we inexplicably lose. Then, when I implore my team to let our tower go down so I can get even a little bit of farm. I back off from the tower when the wave reaches it and prepare to let it fall. Our top Swain uses teleport to come in, kill two minions, and back away. Vayne then freezes the lane and crushes me in CS since there is no safe way for me to farm.
Meanwhile, our team proceeds to get annihilated in every other lane, losing horrifically in kills and farm and towers. No one is capable of fighting anyone, but we keep recklessly pursuing kills and getting caught out. We give up a twenty minute baron and refuse to surrender multiple times, but also refuse to stop making boneheaded decisions. After I go to farm bot, the other four members of our team decide to push mid really hard against a baron'd up team and get crushed again. And then we lost.
No one was toxic, people were pretty neutral the whole game. It was just the most frustrating experience I've ever had in this game, being completely powerless to influence the game in any way.
Because Kog'maw is not someone I would put with Soraka ever.

I picked first. Soraka picked last. I have absolutely no idea why. She didn't say a word in chat all game and dropped maybe three wards, opting instead to rush a bulwark against a team with only an Orianna for magic damage.

It should be noted that Stonewall is cardboard 7, and I'm pretty sure he was boosted to Diamond 5.
He's famous because he put his name out there as much as possible and released a sex tape with Rick Salomon.
Compare with say Dyrus, who is the Bill Murray of LoL and got his way up there through actual chops.
And like Bill Murray, his best days are behind him.

who ever could have seen that coming
Stonewall is really really good. I got matched against him and it was heinous.
Contracts are a thing!
Proof?
Stonewall while not being a competitive LCS jungler, is still better then the vast majority of this forum.
it is the worst feeling in this game.
