Well, going off of the two ranked games I see on your account...

Not having Sightstone in a twenty-minute game as Soraka is troubling. Vision is important. I mean, a snowballing Support sometimes avoids sightstone with the intention of simply kicking ass, but that clearly wasn't what was going on for you.

Not taking Flash is odd. Virtually all champs want a mobility summoner spell, and that's usually Flash (sometimes Ghost). TP/Exh as Support and TP/heal as ADC is begging to get ganked.

41 CS as Ashe in 23 minutes is shameful. What happened that game?

Typically, you shouldn't sell your Doran's sword so early, either...

Finally, in both games, your rune pages are kinda a mess.

There are typically tried-and-true methods that experience players (or at least those who think they are) know and expect, and straying too far from that fails more often than not. While you don't have to do exactly what other people want or expect, it's wise to try and understand why that is so you can improve your gameplay when it turns out being the better option.

Normals are typically taken far less seriously and people tend to build inefficiently, so off-meta stuff works out better there; don't expect it'll always go as smoothly in Ranked with its competitive environment.
