My biggest problem was that i played way too much champions, in fact, i played 104 champs in ranked this sole season. Also, i had a huge problem of tilting. To get out of silver, you really need to find one winning strat, DON'T mess around EVER, or else, there is a really great odd that you will go on a losing streak or be stuck from playing too much random stuff. I finally decided to stick to one champion the most i could cause it was my best one, there isnt only one winning strat, and maybe one-tricking isnt needed for you, but here was mine :

i spammed Diana and here is my winning build (of course there is other ways than diana surely xd)

item 1082 (upgrade to item 3041 if you get 10 stacks)item 2031 rush item 3115 but if you have no engage on your team, you are better off building item 3027 first (and then normal build) EDIT : Now, in gold i always take rod of ages cause being able to stay alive is important

get item 3020 next get item 3100 for stronger aas, it scales super well with nashor and then ideally you want item 3165 and/or item 3089 but if enemy got mr get item 3135 or if your team is likely to throw or you may lose get item 3026 to still be able to carry without dying (Can be replaced by item 3157 if you like it better)

also this is not the only thing, here's the macro part (i'll speak for mid roaming champs cause its what i mostly play)

-Think all the time, dont ever do anything on impulse -Look the map, always look for opportunities -Never ever flame, even if your teammates think that you CAN carry them, youre the sole constant on your team -Don't lose time ever always do something -Avoid giving shutdown gold -Don't keep mindlessly grinding if you start losing, its just gonna get worse -Push your lane before roaming (maybe not that much if youre in a losing matchup you need to not fall behind, go take gold somewhere else, kill side laners or go in jg if you can to farm camps or kill the jungler(if you know where he is)) -never surrender always try your hardest, monkeys cant hold you back if you carry enough -use hp, mana, level and knowledge of your damage to know if you can kill -dont think about the flashy play, think about the most efficient one, helping to get objectives -never forget farming -ping all you can to control your braindead teammates -be the most relaxed you can -predict what enemies can do

you can ask me more stuff if you want :)

the runes i prefer on diana are :

-Electrocute cause diana can easily proc it with her combo

-Sudden impact cause it scale well with diana r

-Eyeball collection cause the more you kill stuff you get a little damage bonus

-Relentless hunter to compensate for diana weakness, in fact, enemies usually try to run away from her and with diana you need to chase enemies, some take ravenous hunter but on my side i dont like it cause youre too slow and almost all diana abilities are aoe so the healing you can get from this rune is reduced.

-Absolute focus cause more damage the better

-Gathering storm to be able to scale on long games

Also, big tip(plat player here)

Just play what your good at, and stick with it.

I'm a VERY good veigar player, ok with talon, and I can play lux alright.

But I practically 1 trick veigar at this point, I have 60 games with him, with a 67% wr. I plan to get diamond, and I will, it's just a matter of not tilting by the end of season trolls.

The trick is playing a simple champion(veigar is very easy, but "hard" in high elos) because when you don't have to worry about a mindfuck of mechanics like lee sin, azir, etc. You can focus on super important things like game knowledge and such. Not only will you climb, but you will learn a LOT more about the game, I have learned a ton in one tricking veigar, and I can practically hard carry if my team listens.

One tricking is tricky, its hard if your champion is common, but something like annie, veigar, brand, lux, syndra, are all very strong mid lanes, and pretty easy to grasp.

Trust me folks, play 1-2 champions, become good with them with practice, you'll learn the flaws of the champ and learn how to play around them or avoid them. You will climb, it's just the matter of learning that one champion you enjoy/are willing to play a 100 games to become very good with.

If I didn't tilt and start playing other champions, I would be diamond already. Realizing this I jumped back on the veigar train, and am climbing again.(plat 3 currently.)

I believe in ya

edit: If anyone wants help, or advice. I'll be on when i wake up, Im happy to help anyone willing to improve(im a mid main, but can give advice on support, and top too.)

while yeah its best to play ranked with a champion you feel most confident skilled and comfortable with (for me its Swain (i also play old school swain too (item 3065 item 3116 with a item 3027 item 3157 core with {{summoner:51}} for skillshot dodging and fast repositioning), you cant help your feeding teammates nearly every game :/ i dont play ranked cuz of that imo. i stay in the positives, average 4.4KDA, which imo is not bad, nearly 70% win rate in norms (but i mean.....its norms...so.....meh) but i get put in silver IV because i get teammates who hard feed on a silver platter(that....was not intended as a pun. but its convienient lol) and i cant really do anything to help hard carry or at least keep that 14/3 riven and 9/2 miss fortune and the 23/8 Master Yi in check :/

The way how to get out of bronze/silver is to play busted, brainless champions. I managed to get out of silver by playing yi,jax in s5? with sated devourer meta
