Why is Silver such a Hellhole?

How do I climb out of Silver? I get such troll and shit teammates, and I don't know what's meta or easy to climb out with in Silver.

Trust me, trolls and shit teammates don't go anywhere. To get out of silver you have to improve, its as simple as that. Pick a main and an off role, and 2 champions for each. Get really good at those champions. I would recommend easier champions like Annie and not champions like Lee until you have a better grasp at the game. It just is easier to climb that way.

Since we are in the same server, can you do me a favor by watching my games and telling me what I'm doing wrong?

They say "elo hell" doesn't exist, but in my opinion it does--just not in the way that people normally think of it. Elo Hell is when you are in the same brackets as those doing their placement matches, and this is hell because you have people of all skill levels in your games.

Unfortunately, If you are bronze or silver, the difference between them is fairly marginal, and you won't see teammates that you can reasonably expect anything out of until gold+. Even then, trolls are also found in Challenger, so if that's what bothers you, find a different game to play (and I'm not saying this in the usual toxic way, but as a matter of fact).

On the other hand, if you don't know what's meta or can't find a champ to climb with, you are not going to see gold+ until that changes, and that's because you still have a lot to learn. It's not a put down. 70% of players are bronze/silver, and are likely to stay there. It takes a lot of games, a lot of practice, and a lot of study (guides/videos/coaching etc) before you can pull yourself out of low elo.

Silver 5 and 4 are mad easy. Silver 3, 2, and 1 are where the egotistical, boosted, retarded gorillas are, playing with their Razer Blackwidow keyboard.

I can play most champions really well, I just don't know what is meta so I can climb with those champions to get into Gold, and hopefully Plat.

I know this might not be what you want to hear, and that everything in you is going to want to tell you that this is not true. However, it is. If you are in silver, and can't climb out. Then you probably belong in silver. The whole "my teammates are holding me back" thing is your mind trying to come up with any other conclusion besides "I'm just not gold tier worthy yet" (emphasis on yet, as if you choose to try to improve you will in due time). #truth

Search me up. Then decide if I can't really climb out.

Anyways, I usually have a good KDA unless I'm against a champion that I don't have a counterpick for ( Talon Ahri Akali Leblanc ) , and I have a high LP amount, I just need some time, but it seems way too frustrating to me because of all the shit I see in this elo.

I don't need to look it up man. The fact that you are whining about not being able to climb out of silver means you can't really climb out. The fact that what you base your opinion of you deserving to get out of silver on is your KDA (you literally mentioned nothing but KDA) tells me why it is that you can't climb out. I know damn good and well why you're stuck there now based on this this comment you made right here. Honestly, when you figure it out is probably when you'll climb out of silver. I'd explain it, but you seem like one of those people who'd say you don't know how to do something then tell everyone that tries to tell you how to do it that their wrong and you infallibly know why and not to question you. Here's a hint, the rest of us make fun of that guy behind his back because it's hilarious to watch someone be so wrong while they swear that they're sooo right. Since you act like that, figure it out yourself. If you're so good that you can climb out of silver, then get off the boards and go do it. Don't talk about it, be about it.

I legit told you what's my problem. I don't know what champions actually fit this meta so my teammates stop acting so trolly.

Silver, especially silver 5, is just toxic bronze 1. But if ALL of your teammates are trolls and/or toxic, then the problem is typically with you

Tip, the hell doesn't stop after Silver. You're gonna want to learn to love it.

Actual advice to get out of Silver, though you might not like it. Learn to play multiple supports. Why? Because a lot of players have no clue, are autofilled and therefore don't do it well. It drags the team down when there's a weak link. So fill that void and help boost your team. Anyone can right click as an ADC, or clumsily dual a fight at mid. Not many can play support with a great level of skill.
