I main support in ranked, and I think I do pretty decently. Wards are relatively on point, still learning where to use the sweeping lens, but I've just been having bad games to the point I can't even get to promos anymore. I'm stuck in Silver IV, and I really want to get into gold. Not only that, but I do main other champs as well: Lucian Ahri Rengar/Yi Aatrox So one for pretty much every role. I was just wondering how I could get out of silver with any of them

Dont try to teach someone how to play, even if they are doing something completely wrong. Do not point out peoples faults either. Changing peoples moods in ranks such as silver and bronze is why they are in silver/bronze. Play your best, ward, and group. Thats all you really can do
I main jungle, here is my heart-warming story.
Last season I was only Bronze 3 and was really depressed since I thought I was silver level. I decided to stop playing ranked games after being placed in bronze 3. I just casually started watching tons of streamers on twitch, mainly Nightblue3 who teaches you how to play the game better. I also regularly watched the Na LCS and tried to pay attention to the builds, positioning and timing of ganks for junglers.
One year passed and I was still in the same shitty division and I thought I'm much better than these noobs so why did I get placed here?
Tears would flow down my face at night and I would cry myself to sleep. (Not really but I'm trying to set the mood here =P) But then, one day I saw that Victorious Morgana skin and I said to myself I should at least try. At this point, I had only 3 weeks before season ended and I would be happy if I barely made it out. I played my first 3 games. Defeat! I was again broken. Threw away mouse and keyboard and wept while looking at the mirror (This might have happened......)
The next morning, I got up and I said, fuck it. I'm going in balls deep and I'm trolling all the fucking ranked noob players who ruined my life. I picked pantheon jungle and I said fuck it, gonna troll all game and make them sad too. Ended up winning 4 in a row and I was in series. In a matter of 3 hours, I was at the point of my life where I had won 4 ranked games straight in a row.
I won 2 games immediately and I got promoted to B1!!!! I skipped a division. I jumped up in joy and cried tears of happiness. Then I'm like, I found my special pokemon, I mean champion. Pantheon was my go to jungler!
Within 3 days I got myself to S5 by spamming ranked games. Soon, I then had assignments and midterms for school so I had to study. I stopped playing SCHOOL FIRST. By the time I got back I was still S5 and proud of my achievement. I wanted to push further. I played some more and managed to get to S4 with a few afkers and trollers along the way.
This point I had 3 days left until ranked ended. I thought to myself if it was possible to make gold. I don't know if I was drugged or Rito took pity on me, I swear to you, I won every single game from S3 to S1 in a row. I had like 18 game win streak or something like that. I lost 2 or 3 games in S1 but I shot myeslf straight to my 5 game promos to get to G5.
I stopped and took a deep breath. I decided to play my first game for my promos. I lost that game because I was too nervous and was thinking about how I can carry. I quickly realized that I was playing wrong, and that is why I got placed in B3 in the first place. I was thinking about how I can carry and was picking on other people to play better and criticize their builds and play style.
1 loss / 5 games =(
The next game I had an afk mid lane. I was panicking, but said to myself I can do this. I got my double buffs and managed to kill their mid laner at that point the DC reconnected. I baby sat his lane and even though he died a few times since he was behind, I kept encouraging him. I said, it didn't matter and never got mad even though he should have stayed under turret and farmed. I said I would gank his lane and help him out. I paid attention to him and tried to make plays together. However, this deficit was too great to climb. We had been pushed to the inhibitors. I said lets turtle and we died a lot afterwards but we managed to hold it together and get to full builds by losing only 1 inhib. I noticed the baron re-spawning and the enemy adc walking over. I pinged that baron like crazy and we all ran over there. I pantheon ulted and managed to steal the baron and flash over the wall. At which the enemy was confused and my team collapsed on baron bit and we aced them. We had won, just because of our positive attitude and we waited for the perfect moment to strike.
I smoothly won the next 2 games and got promoted to G5 on the last second before ranked was over. I personally think people get mad because no one wants to lose and they find an excuse to blame others. They don't want to admit the fact that they could have played better.
If you blame yourself and look to correct your mistakes. You learn so much more than saying GG, report feeder. If you stop surrendering your games at 20 mins, you can learn how to find opportunities to make comebacks when you're behind. I mean, a positive mental attitude is what really matters at the end of the day. Play enough games with the right mind set and you will absolutely get to the division you want to be in.
I hope you reach your goals for this season, mine is Plat for this season. Good luck.
P.S. I didn't realize I type all of this.... lmao.... my story though. GG, report for long story. /surrender
