Is it a good idea to create a fresh account for ranked?

Hi guys, as you can read the title, I'm kinda having a case of doubt. My problem here is that I really want to climb but I feel like my mmr is pretty bad. I know to make my mmr better I should win more games (sometimes I'm on a winning spree but it feels like my mmr isnt changing due to the same lp I gain and lose before the winning spree).

When I got to lvl 30 on this account (2 seasons ago) I jumped into ranked without having a sense how the game really worked: I couldn't farm (example 28 cs at 15 minutes), I had no sense about the roles and I didn't use the minimap at all. Maybe this ''bad'' start doesn't matter at all and I should just focus on improving which I'm trying, however creating a fresh account with fresh mmr may help me with climbing. I also know that if I just improve, at the end I will climb, but at the moment it's just really hard to climb for me (win = 15/16 lp, loss = 20 lp). Maybe these are the normal lp standards, I don't know. I also don't mind putting time into leveling a new account. I have enough time, so I won't mind that.

Do you guys maybe have advice or an opinion about this? I'm open to all advice as long it isn't toxic ^^

If you want to start from Iron instead and having to play through whatever MMR your account is on regardless for your climb. Then sure.

If you wanted to make another account for ranked shoulda done that last year or prior where you can start nearly gold of you won all 10.

Assuming you can go on decent winstreaks(like 4/5 or 3 games at a time) without having consecutive losses in between them, your MMR will probably stabilize sooner than the amount of time it takes to hit level 30. I believe normal LP gains are 20-25~ish. I still think starting fresh is overall more advantageous though.

Getting to a higher rank on your alt would be very unlikely. You'd be better off spending the ~200 games it takes to get to 30 on your main.
