How Am I Supposed To Climb Ranked?

I have played league since mid season 6 where i got placed in silver 5. After playing for a year and a half, and looking back at the last season I realized that I definitely should not have been placed there (I was pretty bad). I went from worrying about winning lane and getting a good kda... To... knowing that I need to affect the game in a positive way by winning lane, and warning my teammates about where everyone is on the map (the enemy team). If that means getting ganked and letting the jg get the kill or me just straight up getting a solo kill. Then I know that I need to affect the game in another way if it is buying some pinks to give my team vision, or ganging not to get them a double, and then taking dragon if it's possible. I've went from what's a minimap to better check this baby every few seconds. To sum all that up I've basically improved from a killing toaster, to a mentally smart and decisive player. I learned the true way to play ranked is to go for towers and objectives, and to not worry about who gets the kills as long as the fight is won(this isn't necessarily true). The weird thing is that I'm unable to climb out of silver 5. I figured out that in any tier division, the V is always the place where the terrible players are dumped because they can't de rank. Instead of me being a toaster I'm playing with them, and no matter what, even if I get fed, from me or the jg and distribute kills to my teammates they will always go for the 1v5 pentathol outplay. Even if they let me start shot calling they won't listen and will throw the game by fighting a 3v1 in our favor with no vision of the rest of their team. How do I win this?!?

Ranked is a waste of time without a team to play with man, don't play solo unless you have fun losing and winning.

" The V is always the place where the terrible players are dumped" First off your not terrible far from it I'm sure.
You have the right mindset with A. Not worrying about who gets the kills as long as you and your team wins the fight. That is very important and wise. Most cases you do have some people who Say " KS" ignore them and just keep doing what needs to be done.

B. Objectives control and your mindset is also in the right place not worrying about kills in lane as its LANE and not teamfight or objectives is also A+ with you.

C. Don't shot call for your team... Ping but don't chat to them in the chat box its a WASTE OF TIME a huge one at that. No one that you meet will listen to you in Solo Q, but believe it or not people listen to pings more than Chat. Honestly what helped me get out of S5 ( I'm silver 4 not much of a difference but every little bit helps right ) is " push pull" the lanes

Push pull means you try to cs but more important you are pushing it as far up as you can while using your abilities as quickly as possible reasons for it, it gives you more vision of the map for warding and gives the enemy less map for vision. When you push 2 waves of cs to the enemy do you think they will pass it up, instead of trying to see if you are doing dragon ? I think not

Overall you got it man keep it up Have a Good One
