So i have been playing for a few months now think i started around April and im almost in silver 4 in promos at the moment of making this post was just wondering how long it took you guys to climb out of bronze?. also am i climbing at a good rate? after i found the champion kassadin i started winning a lot more 34% win rate is now 45% and climbing!.
Took me around 50 games when I started last year. Ended gold 5 by spamming sona with a 61% winrate
This season I started in B5 and 333 games later I made S5. I've taken a little break from SoloQ ranked games but I'm hopeful that I can make S4 before the end of the season.
Edit: I think you are climbing at the normal rate (assuming just above 50%).
I'm climbing w/Sona at 55% and overall I'm climbing at a 52% win rate. Slow grind.
I started in season 3, hit 30 in season 4 and got bronze, season 5 i got silver. So 2-ish seasons
Haven't gotten out yet, started B4 then hopped back and forth between B4 and B5 and now I'm sitting in B3 with 63 LP and a 51% win rate with 114W 108L
I played for about a month last season and got out and then quit. I just wanted the border but I gave up this season because ranked just kind of isn't fun.
This is my first moba, and I jumped into ranked as soon as I hit lvl 30. I placed in silver 2, fell to silver 5 pretty quick, and hovered between silver 5 and silver 4 for a few months. Eventually dropped to bronze 2.
I got out of bronze maybe 3-4 weeks after that, and I ended at gold 5 that season. The next season I placed at bronze 2 and climbed out in about a week. Ended at plat 4 that season. This season I placed in silver 2 and have hovered around there for a few months, but I'll be back in plat by the end of today or tomorrow.
My advice is to pick 2-3 champs that can cover 3-4 roles. Those champs should not have extremely high pick/ban rates. My picks in season 5 were Teemo for top/jg/adc (this is no longer advisable) and Zyra for mid/supp. If you focus on expertise with a few champs, you'll very quickly outskill players in bronze and low silver.
I picked my mains based on a variety of factors. I wanted something I could play most of the time, so that meant champs with low pick/ban. I wanted something that could play well from behind, so that meant champs with some kind of fallback utility. I wanted something that wasn't too reliant on teammates, so that meant champs with adequate 1v1 damage. And lastly, I wanted something that could perform decently against both tanky and squishy teams, so that meant champs with a mix of burst and dps.
Champs that fall into those categories today might include: 
Most of those champs can fill multiple roles, have a decent variety of build options, are low pick/ban, OR have a decent combination of burst and dps. Most of them are not currently meta, but most also tend to exist sort of outside the metay.
Like Fiddlesticks hasn't been meta for years, but his dedicated mains can crush in jungle, top, mid, or support. Kayle can play literally any role in the game, but she was only meta in jungle for a couple months since I started League. Zyra hasn't been meta in a solo lane since season 4, but I still mained her in mid and top for 3 seasons.
If you follow that advice, you will climb faster. League changes a lot, and a big part of climbing is how fast you can adapt to change. It's easier to adapt to changes on a few champs than a lot of champs, and it's easier to improve your game on a champ you already understand. Good luck!
7 games
I got out for the first time in Season 6, which took a little more than half the season at 1000 games to achieve. I started playing League in mid Season 5 but played mainly normals but with a fair bit of ranked games. So overall, I'd say it took a season worth of games to achieve it.
Now I'm hardstuck Silver :(
I don't have an exact answer. When I started I did my placements and got placed in bronze. Didn't touch ranked for the rest of the season. Next season I got silver easily
Started playing the game mid 2013. Got placed in Bronze 3 and made to to B1 before that season ended. Next season placed in B2 and out of bronze in about a month w Thresh. I think I got to Gold w Warwick and Kayle then
