Hey Smashed! I thought I'd give you a little advice as someone who has climbed from B3 to G5 this season, as well as some things I've learned in my 600 games this season. Also, as a little insight about my climb, I climbed the fastest playing Sivir ADC when ADCs were in the worst spot (8.11-8.12).

Bronze 5 to Silver 3 is the hardest to climb out of.
They BEST way to carry low elo is by learning how to farm. Out farming your enemy laner is such a huge advantage. You need to average at LEAST 70 CS Per 10 mins.
Watch Videos on how to control minion waves, and watch some on when to play passive, or when to play aggressive.
Do NOT over chase for kills. Sure kills give gold, however, in the same sentence, if you can get your laner to recall, you can get a cs lead. 1 kill is only worth approximately 15 CS.
Focus objectives. Objectives win games. Not kills.
Watch streamers or LCS games, watch videos on your main role/champ.
Play simple champions. I looked at your Op.gg and you have a lot of LeBlanc games. She's fun, but has a high skill cap. Try playing Talon (fairly difficult, fun, and has the same playstyle as LB), Ahri (same as what I mentioned with Talon), Annie (Different, and a traditional mage, low skill cap)
Play better macro, such as learning where good ward placement is, and having good map awareness and knowing where enemies are so you don't get ganked. Your vision score should be 1.5 x leangth of the game so 1.5 x 20 min game = 35 vision score.
POSITIONING POSITIONING POSITIONING! I can't say this enough. Know where you should be in team fights and when farming. Where to be if split pushing.
Find a champion you love to play. Dont worry about the "Meta". Find that champ, learn them in and out. Learn their damage, damage spikes, power spikes, how long you can fight before everything is on CD.
Abuse enemy champions who have used their summoner spells.

Hope this helps you bud, and good luck in your games!

Alright, let's take a look at your op.gg...oh boy.

Okay, I'll put this in a brief list:

One: You play WAY too many champs. Pick one-two and main them, stop playing everything under the rainbow or you won't be able to have decent micro on anyone. There's a reason one-tricks are usually settled above gold if they actually commit to League.
Two: Pick a SIMPLE champ. Stop playing LeBlanc and Mordekaiser - you're not good enough to be able to play them properly unless you decide to main them and put hundreds of games in. Options for you include Annie, Garen or (since you seem to have enjoyed him a lot) Karthus. Karthus is probably your best bet here, I have no clue why you stopped playing him in favor of more complex champs.
Three: Buy pinks, place wards in smart spots. I'm not going to bother asking you whether you buy pinks or not - given your ELO I assume you don't (no offense). 75 gold, super useful item - INVEST IN IT. Also look to place wards in optimal spots where they can be getting the most possible vision (the edges of bushes are usually preferred).
Four: Get coaching. Something is very wrong if you have 800 games and are stuck in Bronze 5. There are a ton of coaches out there (LS can recommend you a guy for instance) - find one and have them break things down with you.

That's it. Didn't mean any offense in what I said, just trying to make my points clear. Good luck.

Alright, I will play the next 800 with just two champs, good advice!!

Good.

As a side note, the real key to climbing is being motivated and always looking to improve. In the end only we can shape who we want to be and that includes our ELO in League as well. If you have motivation and always look at yourself thinking 'How do I improve, what did I do wrong this game?' then you can definitely make it out of Bronze.

Again, good luck! [sg-kiko]
