Is climbing out of silver the same way as climbing out of bronze and if so what should i do differently?

Silver is pretty much bronze until s3/2 so do much the same as what you've been doing.

One thing I will say is if you see your team fighting and you can't help (it's a clear loss) do not back instead go and push an objective, it is objectives>kills after all and will net you global gold, helping your team.

If ofcourse you can turn the fight and win or or clean up do it then push an objective, same with aces if your team aces or the other team are running do not peel off instead ignore them and get an objective

I got stuck with a Silver 1 Annie support in my game today. She flashed onto their Jinx/Braum at level 2. They tower dove me after. So Jinx had BF sword at level 4. One minute later her duo-queue ganked our lane. Tanked the whole wave of minions, didn't even ping me. She q'd and w'd braum's shield. I got tower dove again.

Dynamic queue is the best, and Silver 1s are great.

At your elo dynamic que won't even matter much

Nope, it matters a lot. It's the difference between playing a fair, even game and not doing so. ^.^

Not really. People in silver don't understand how to fully push their advantage anyways.

Nah man. Being able to hypothetically win does not make the game fair by itself. People won 4v5s all the time. That didn't make them fair or fun. The only bright side, really, is that most of the games don't have dynamic queues..

Like I said, dynamic que doesn't offer much of an advantage in low elo. Sure you can say it's antifun even in those elos, but it's not going to be holding you back from wins ever

What I noticed with silver lately is that teams have a terrible objective focus. It's not uncommon you see no turrets go down in the first 20 minutes. It's just rediclus if a support has the most turret kills from his team... The only objective that exist for them is dragon, kills and if you are lucky baron. Trading objectives is something they are not aware of. I have seen it so many time. Wow a free herald for an water dragon. I would do that trade every time. They also like to fight in area's where no objective on the line. They just got dragon. O let's recall and bait a fight in the dragon pit. What...
