First - you can only improve MMR in a queue by playing in that queue. So the only way to improve your MMR is to play in the queue that you're silver 5 in (whether that's solo or flex).

Second - I can't guarantee you won't demote. I've read that demotions from 5 to 1 (i.e. dropping a tier rather than a division) requires you to be a FULL tier of MMR less than your current rank. So to demote from silver 5 to bronze 1, you need to drop to bronze 5 MMR.

I'm not sure if this is true. It's possible it's not and you may get demoted. This is simply what I've read a couple years ago.

That said, 4 losses in a row and you're claiming you're out of elo hell? Silver is really no better than bronze. You're only going to get better by playing the game anyways, it's an opportunity. What do you lose if you drop back to bronze? A silver border? I mean, it IS still an accomplishment if you haven't had one before (I don't mean to belittle you) and most players are in bronze so definitely I understand that you wouldn't want to lose a silver border. I think you should play the game to have fun though - you can continue to climb (possibly get gold for a free skin) and improve as a player, and get to a spot where you feel your team is at your level (although believe me, this never seems to happen).

Do you mean using Rumble or is that just a random champion face?

Briefly looking at your history: You're 14-0 with Volibear with a KDA of 16. If you weren't getting boosted there (which would result in a ban) then you're good on that champion and should stick to him...

Now, given that you never played Volibear in S6 and you went on a gigantic winning streak with huge KDAs I'm going to do something most people probably wouldn't - I'll assume you were boosted (no point to waste time arguing) but still try to give you advice to climb.

First - stop playing ranked immediately. You will demote. It's quite clear that your skill level is below your rank (because you were boosted there) so you need to get to that skill level in order to win games there and not get demoted.

Now, go play normal draft to improve your game. It's impossible really to identify your weaknesses because they will all be distorted by the other player, but nonetheless general advice: Play fewer champions, focus on getting good at those champions you do play. STOP playing Fizz entirely, he really doesn't work for you. Annie is a much better choice for you when you're mid lane, but in general mid lane may not be a good role for you.

Focus on NOT DYING. You die a lot in your losses. You play lane bullies without a great escape, so it's likely that you consistently overextend and get punished by their jungler. When you ward you need to ward much deeper (like near the exit from blue team's blue buff when you're red top lane) and react early enough to not die. You probably think you're losing due to your jungler/team being worse, but you need to understand that dying to the enemy jungler puts your entire team behind as their jungler is now snowballing and can gank other lanes more successfully.

CS better. A lot better. At that elo you don't need to get kills to win. You'll get a 30+ cs advantage from just being a better last hitter which equates to 2 kills and will let you snowball.

Ward more, especially mid/late. Vision will protect your team from their plays, and let you set up plays in their jungle.

Be proactive rather than reactive. Set up plays. Camp bushes to get a pick. Be aware of where they'll want to ward and wait to get a pick there. When ahead force objectives (turret/baron) and when behind focus on finding picks and avoiding fights (trade objectives whenever possible, they take bot turret you take top, etc..).

There's more, but there are plenty of guides.

I'd recommend just googling things like "how to climb out of bronze" "... elo hell" etc... there are plenty of high ranked players who make titles like this to attract views. In general it's always the same stuff (cs better, don't die, play only your good champs, etc...).

and your right I try out the other positions to see If it feels right I KNOW I can do top lane that just feels natural. but jg and mid is so off yet I wrather learn to play them just incase my old friend autofill whants to say high ...) I really don't support but lately iv become accustomed to adcing as well althought the duo lane relation ship and trusting a rando support kind off puts off my game and makes me worry a bit
