Tips for performing better in ranked

So, I've been playing League for a few years now and have been able to settle in Silver the past 2 years. However, as everyone is aware, Bronze is living hell and from my personal experience, Silver is just as bad. For everyone like me that is decent (not exactly great but not terrible) what tips would you give to help their performance?

Ie: what's the most efficient way to ward now with the removal of purchasable sentry wards? Is the Yellow ward trinket really worse than the Blue ward trinket? When is it better as a support to roam and help your 4/1 mid lane or 5/2 top lane more instead of your 0/6 adc? What are some tips to help with map awareness, for example when you're top lane and constantly harassing or being harassed and feel like you can hardly spare much time to check on other lanes' progress and state? (And do you actually scroll your camera to other lanes? Or just try to determine what's going on from the mini map, just started playing Shen.) It's small things like this that I have some difficulty keeping up with.

Hey,

  1. Blue trinket vs Yellow trinket The Blue trinket got " less vision " but you can place it from a save distance so important roles that die fast take it. The Yellow got "more vision" but if you are going to ward a bush with enemys you are probably going to die without any chance as adc/mid.

2.There are alot Ways to improve and league is very variable better think for yourself in most situations ,but there are alot of great Youtuber giving tips etc.

3.i recommend you to "analyze" what just happened and how you could´ve improved.I do on every death and often even if something went good i try to figure out how it would be better

I just got plat 4 for the 56th ( not rly but damn you feeder teams ) time and my map awareness is medium - bad and i often keep yellow trinket but my rotations/calls are good, but the team often wont listen so i just adapt to their playstyle cause its better to follow a medium plan with 5 guys then 5 people lurking around the map trying to be usefull. adc main btw (vayne jinx).

i would recommend Phylol,scrapcomputer,foxdrop and pants are dragon there are alot more but i dont know them xD

and dont na summoner 4

If you already have map control, blue trinket is the infinitely better choice: More or less same cooldown, huge range and wards don't naturally expire. Probably one yellow per team is enough for the spots where you want to at least force a sweep.

Roam when you can afford to, this is something you get with experience. Netting your mid another kill when they don't really need your help might not be worth two turrets down and your adc dying yet again, however bad he may be.

Try reordering your tab screen (IDK what it's actually called) so that the lanes match up. Makes it much easier to get a feel for how the other lanes are doing. Mainly rely on health bars and the minimap to determine how people are doing, only scroll down when you aren't in any danger of getting attacked. You can see when your allies are pushing/getting pushed, which would be an indication to get ready to ult/tele if things turn south.
