I’ve been playing League for around 3 years, mostly jungle. I started in Iron 4, climbed through bronze very quickly after improving my mentality and studying jungle fundamentals, but now im stuck in Silver for about a year.

I watch every day as a part of my routine (even for fun) a lot of educational jungle content from people like Kirei, Coach Leo, hybradge,Sinerias. I try to actively apply concepts in real games: tempo, camp sequencing, tracking, adapting to lane states, avoiding bad fights, punishing enemy jungle mistakes, and maintaining efficient pathing. A lot of my games start very well individually. I usually keep high CS early, pressure the map, and often get early leads.I also get pinged a lot and i mute all.

What confuses me is that I genuinely feel like I understand many of the “core” jungle concepts but my actual rank doesnt reflect it. At the same time, when I watch random emerald or platinum jungle gameplay, I still notice major macro mistakes that seem very similar to mistakes made in silver.

So im trying to understand this

What actually separates a silver jungler who has the theory+decent mechanics (ambessa,sylas,nocturne), from a player that consistently climbs to , plat-diamond?

Im asking this because I feel like Ive hit a point where “practicing more concepts” isn't translating directly into results anymore, and I want to understand what Im missing in practice.

Sometimes when I see something very small, scared, or vulnerable (especially animals), I get this really intense mental state. Its not exactly a normal “thought” . It feels more instinctive than that.I did this as a child and one time when i was 16yo, (Im 20 now) in the middle if the act i got a mixed feelings of :

control,fear,curiosity .

The control part is obvious, but the curiosity is more like wanting to see a reaction or experience something unknown from the animal. At the same time there is also fear. If that thing might hurt me physically with something unexpected when i do the torture.

The weirdest part is the mental state itself. During those moments it almost feels like mentally “traveling” somewhere else, like entering state of mind. Everything becomes extremely focused and surreal. In the middle of the act i get all those 3 mixed feelings and i feel like a scared+curious rat exploring this animal.

I also need to admit that as a child I harmed small animals before, which is why I’m taking this seriously now and trying to understand where this comes from psychologically instead of ignoring it.I know this sounds disturbing, but I’m trying to be honest about it instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
