Well, you can't really teach someone who refuses to learn. It seems like your friend truly believes what he does is the right thing to do. If he keeps rejecting your advice then there really isn't much hope for him. The only thing I cant think of is to make him play normal games with you. If he gets facerolled every game I'm sure he will begin to wonder why that happens (unless he enjoys getting facerolled, but I highly doubt that) and maybe he will try to improve.

LoL is an unforgiving game for new people and most of them have to learn everything the hard way. I started playing with little DoTA experience. I had a level 30 friend to teach me, but I mostly played normal games with him and other level 30s and got utterly destroyed everytime. Some of my other friends started at the same time I did, but they were babied (Oh don't worry, you played fine. It was just a bad game), whereas I was not (WTF ARE YOU DOING RAAAAGGE). Most of these "babied" friends no longer play LoL anymore due to the fact that they never recognized that they needed to improve and therefore got facerolled once they hit level 20-30. Even now as a level 30 I still find myself in situations where I don't understand why I lost or died. However, I actively try to find out how to avoid being in those situations and I ask my more experienced friends for advice on how to play better.

Back to the OP: You aren't doing anything wrong. You've tried teaching him nicely. But now it's time for him to learn the hard way. It's time to bring him into some real games.
