To be honest the stupid meta restrictions make the game unfun.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Honestly, if you're level twelve don't worry about playing with the meta. Even when you get forced support, play something fun. Make it a kill lane, nobody else will mind, especially if you do well.
And the sad truth is, as many others have said, it doesn't really get better. Even at 1500 ELO people are still double locking mid just because "they called it first". I would highly recommend talking to your teammates every game and if there is ever one that isn't toxic, just add him and work on making a small friend circle.

Just like doublelift once said, play to get yourself better, not to get your team better.
Also, team composition doesn't mean anything at lower level, so just pick the champion you feel the most comfortable with, and play at which ever lane you get.
I don't know if getting to lv 30 asap is a good idea, because you won't be ready for ranked anyway by the time you get to 30. However, if you are looking for powerleveling, buy EXP boost(cost money ofc) and spam bots game which on average takes 15-20mins and you get 300-400 exp each win, takes no time to get to 30.

I was stuck on level 24-29 for about a year. Most boring game I've ever played in my life. Ranked, on the other hand, is so addictive that I can't stop playing. It's just like grinding up on SC2 ladder.

In other words, levelling to 30 is boring as fuck and nothing you do can fix it. XP boost is a waste because it only boosts so little.

I know its likely you wont read this but on this off-chance you do I think it might help. I found myself in a similar situation recently after relocating 9000 km due to work commitments so I had to grind out to 1-30 once more. I think the most important thing you must do is ask yourself what is the reason why you're playing the game in the first place.

If you're like me and enjoy ladder and/or winning then I recommend you stick to it as the quality of games does increase the further up you go, but at 1300 and below as far as I can remember (could be higher) it is just as much of a mess as the games you played while levelling, I recall at that rating people try to stick to the meta, but that's not always the case, occasionally people do what they want whatever the rating. If you're after fun and are not having any, I'd really recommend you change games, don't torture yourself for no reason.

So if you've decided to stick with it I have a few things to say, first: don't assume everyone you're meeting is a new player, there are quite a lot of "smurfs" at those levels, I'm 1700 on the server but I've lost lanes more times than I can remember while levelling. The other thing that helped me a lot was that no matter what my team did, if I lost the game it was my fault, I simply wasn't good enough. Another thing I did a lot was watch T.V. movies, streams etc. while playing in custom vs bots, you get xp while giving the game the minimum required attention, and if 30 is what you're after it really does help speed things along. Keep the game going for a long time as the xp is calculated on a per minute basis as far as I'm aware. I did buy the xp boost too, it halved the time I had to grind, I certainly felt it was worth the money.

I actually have 2 lvl 30akas and im working a third up, right now at lvl 12, since im doing my social service and im in charge of a healt facility i dont really have much time and some times my games are interrupted by emergencies, but aside from that im a pretty realiable player.

On an advice, i just dont care for what my team does, i mean its low lvl play, many of the players just starting to play and many are like my self smurf akas who dont care if you respect the meta or dont, most of the time i jungle or adc carry, i dont expect to get a suport or to get help in the jungle, i tell my team that if they dont help at the start dont expect ganks, and if i play adc carry always build phylo first since i will be getting cs steal from me by duo lane, and he will probably fed the enemy so i give my self a shot al late game, always try go grab 150 cs by 20min and once you get the farm rolling is easy, also play champs that you can carry with, im pretty OP with Jax, Ashe, Nasus, once you get the farm is rape time, and you can 1vs3 or even if the other team is pretty bad 1vs4.

Just play the game your own way while leveling, games dont really matter, just learn your shit, and carry bad people^^, its so fun when your team is calling you names cause their a getting owned, then you score a multikill and lead them to an inhibitor or baron then they all shut up and follow.

Pick pub stomp heroes. Mundo, Jax, Malphite, Eve, Irelia...etc etc. You want to use champs that aren't heavily dependent on other team mates or cs.

This isn't true. Riot's smurf detector is really good and you'll quickly get to the point where you won't be able to post those kinds of numbers. Like, probably within 10 games.

I'm just slowly leveling a smurf from bot games. The amount of rage is minimal to none, so can just run around do whatever and level. You won't learn as much but the experience of playing will be much better until you get more comfortable with the game.

I find the best way is just to play heroes in unconventional roles
for example, lux, zyra, and nidalee can play mid or support (nidalee can play top too) and can build into many different paths.

The early levels are kind of hard cause you don't have runes, masteries, or a lot of champions but it gets better.

Most Arams are 30++. And almost all will kick level 5 players as soon as they are nearly full.

Leveling to 30 is no longer fun, it used to be when Riot was cool company and it took 3x less exp to get to lvl 30, but later they must have decided that it's not profitable so they increased the amount of xp needed. Now last few levels are painful to get

Why would you punish yourself for getting cs and killing people O_O
Edit: wait what, after like the 2nd death or like 5th kill you would probably die in the next 20 min since your too drunk to play well anyway and would go like 5/20/0.
