General DiscussionCan someone coach me?

I am really starting to struggle here. I'm aware my technical ability isn't fantastic but I know with help it can improve. I have had some coaching for carry so I'm focusing on that at the moment to try and climb out of Archon and into Legend again. However I don't have a coach now. If someone from the upper ranks is happy to come be my coach in game and help me analyse where I might be going wrong, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm having a little bad luck on the grief side recently but I mean that could happen to anyone. There must be ways to win even when you have a griefing player on your team, I just don't know how. I see smurfs do it, so what are they doing that I am not? How can they solo carry a game and I can't? I need someone to help me with the details and also the fundamentals that I must be missing so I can do better and climb a bit of mmr.

I'm focusing mostly on Luna, as I now understand how, where and when to farm/fight more as she's who I had most coaching on. And she sort of has an easy mode with her kit being that she farms fast and has an Ultimate that helps with quick picks early on and is great in a teamfight and at pushing. An all around solid pick. She seemed the logical option for me so I'm quite comfortable with her now.

I am able to get the farm together, and I'm getting better at knowing when to join fights, but what I struggle with is itemization and occasionally, say, my Offlane can't initiate for some reason - in those instances, what do I need to do to compensate? Do I wait for the enemy to engage us? What if they're better at not doing that so they just poke us to death or rat us? Do I jump into them all and BKB and hope for the best? What if they're evasive heroes or have tons of control and I can't keep up?

It's all a bit complicated. In unranked everything seemed so peaceful, why I decided to come to ranked I don't know, but I'm here now and I'd not mind moving up a bracket. I occasionally play with some Immortal friends in unranked, and it's a whole new game there. I think that's far too high for me. I'm not that good, but I would like to get back into Legend, maybe Ancient if I get good enough.

My stats seems quite solid, though I'm happy for someone to tell me they aren't, but from a glance, it seems I kill, I don't die often, I have good GPM, but I struggle to actually win a game. So there's clearly something I'm not doing right there.

Any advice welcome, but someone who's willing to occasionally come give me a coach would be fantastic. I can't pay you though, and I know some people demand that. I'm just hoping you'll do it for the satisfaction :)
