Hey everyone. As the title says, I just hit silver. Somehow despite my bad win rate, I did it. I kept losing at first but I've adapted to bronze and now I beat it. What are some things I need to know going into silver? Will I have a lot more to learn to climb here, or is it the same?

Don't trust anyone else to carry. Play selfishly and pick champions who can take control of the game.

You won't be able to rank up unless you can carry. Welcome to hell.

I climbing using team fight monsters or good dueling champs that can dive the back line. Mostly Malphite and Olaf right now.

In my experience, people would group around objectives constantly in Silver without any real reason. One team would go to an objective (i.e. Dragon, Mid lane tower), the other team would group against them and they would both stand around for minutes at a time trying to siege until someone got caught out.

I'd recommend playing champions with great waveclear, poke and CC to take advantage of this tendency.

If you happen to be a mid-laner, I'd highly recommend Lux and Ziggs since they excel in this type of environment.

Well in my experience so far silver is more toxic then bronze. Full of people who think they are good just because they got out of bronze.

Besides that warding is much better on both teams and and playing stealth champions is a lot harder because of it.
