Struggling to win even 1 out of 5 ranked games...can someone give me a few pointers?

Hey all. Ever since hitting level 30 and playing ranked, I feel like (and I do) lose at least 3 or 4 out of every 5 ranked games. I've been trying my best, stuck mostly to a few main champions, but I still end up losing. I dropped to B5 because of this and am still falling XD. I've tried duo-ing, ranked teams, and solo queue, but nothing seems to help. Most of the time, my teammates seem to have no desire to communicate with me. I always seem to lose my lane, and the times I do win another lane is feeding too hard to make up for it. My main niche with champions are bruisers/assassins, I have found these guys to work for me the best. I need help! Anyone able to offer their verbal assistance and advise me ways to win ranked matches? I am open to anything and am willing to learn - even if it means staying away from ranked for a while to get better. Humbled, NJ

Become a support main and climbing is easy once you figure out what you're doing.

Majority of people in low elo hate going support - you doing it frees up your teammates to play roles they prefer, and doing it well helps snowball bot lane and the game.

Bump; anyone else with thoughts to add?

Start maining champions. I took a quick look through your match history and there are at least 10-15 different champions played. Lower that pool to no more than 5 (less if you can get a champion to overlap roles) and that will allow you to specialize your skills and increase you chances of winning early/mid game. That will allow you to carry games where your team goes even and give you a better fighting chance when your team loses (and stomp games faster when your team is winning)

play the flavor of the month champs, not because you like them but because they are op. then when they get nerfed, leave them in the dust
