I decided to create everything now so also my drum pattern. I will use this drum pattern probably for most of my songs but at least I created it myself.
The Two songs I made are this ones:
https://soundcloud.com/mo7ex/a-new-beginning
https://soundcloud.com/mo7ex/happy-tune
I hope some of you like them, I am the happiest with the Happy Tune song personally.
I made a decision

Why?
You can choose to open your Daw as a blank canvas. Why would you start painting the same way every time? Keep experimenting!

I really am not good at creating drums...
Let me put it this way, I can create hundreds of songs but not hundreds of different drumpatterns...

i hope you understood my point though
do your best and keep trying, it gets better with more experience.
try listening to some different styles, focusing on the beats, just try to recreate odd little bits. doesnt have to be full songs, just practice
you've took this one step from loops to creating your own, pat yourself on the back for that.

My weakness was percussion too. Until I bought VPS Avenger. It has tons of good drum kits and patterns built in, multi-genre. If you look on my Youtube channel you'll find a video "why I bought VPS Avenger", and percussion was pretty high on the list. I've been happy with it in that department. If you have some spare $$ on Black Friday, I'd recommend it.

I will also offer two pieces of advice. This is not just beneficial for drums/percussion:
1) Diversify your listening experience. listen to tons of music from all genres. You may not want to produce in pop, rock or dubstep. However, listening to to a whole range of music other than what you commonly might will give you access to a lot of new ingredients, flavours and 'spices' that could make it, consciously or sub-consciously into your workflow.
2) Watch masters work. It doesn't even matter if they are using tools/instruments that are different to those that you are using, or producing in genres you have no interest in. Just watching how for some 'producers' technology is just an extension of themselves (Not dissimilar to a classical musician with their chosen instrument), can really open up a world of possibilities.
Even if you weren't using Ableton, I'd advise you watch Mr.Bill at work. As I said, you may not want to mimic his style, but you'd have a much better idea of what kind of sandbox you have to play in
Here's a playlist. The videos start off a little dry, but get a lot better with later videos:
