I feel like I'm missing something trying to improve
After basically only playing jungle, I decided to try to top and actually learn the lane.
Started out quite good, I decided to play Garen mainly and started my journey. After lots of Chippy, Alois and Looca videos, I felt confident in my skills and started reviewing games etc., having an excel sheet with goals and keeping up to date with my stuff.
I won a lot in the beginning and got placed in Gold with a Plat MMR.
My problems right now are:
- Mental: It's hard for me not to tilt. I don't have chat on, but it's hard for me not to get agitated sometimes
- I feel like I don't have the knowledge for proper reviewing. I can write down cs leads/g@10 etc., but I feel like I'm not really understanding what to do better in matchups
- Generally matchups: I have a sheet for Garen, which helps a lot. Other Champions, I'm instantly lost
- Garen is nice, but I feel like I get counterpicked quite a bit and usually resort to Malphite then. Today I wanted to try Gragas, because Malphite is not that much fun to me :( So idk what champs to keep/kick. I want a small pool
- Biggest frustration to my mental: I want to improve and play harder matchups, but I feel like I am facing a lot of smurfs or people in low plat/high gold who REALLY know what they're doing. I've had low gold people trade (from my perspective) perfectly, proxy and play out the map as if they were Masters+
Does anyone have recommendations for me? I really do want to improve, but got limited time due to university/private life etc..

Especially tips for mental would be nice (kind of ironic, since I study psychology).
Have a great day everyone
