Looking for Real Advice, There Has to be a Strategy

Sup Summoners, Look, I was super excited for the new positional ranking system, I was one of those people who was like about time, this will fix the 0/10 bot lanes, top/mid feeding etc. No, that is still happening as of right now. I'm aware that Riot forces a 50% win rate on you, if you don't know, do some research. I was wondering if anyone has found a strategy to bypass this broken system that does not award you with fairness. I'm asking if there is a certain playstyle that is getting more wins than the normal play your role and hope for the best. I've tried split pushing, grouping, team oriented champs, selfish champs. It seems like the only thing that was working is Duo. I'd take top and duo takes mid. Just hope that the ADC is half decent and gg easy because even in counter matchups, it's ok that I'm not in a position to hard carry the whole team, my mid might take care of it.

TLDR; What are people/you guys doing to straight up win games? The traditional way isn't working. Too many people want to run Mid and ARAM. I'm Silver/Gold but hit Plat in Preseason, doesn't look like I'm reaching Plat anytime soon unless I Duo every single game.

Please help. Lol. Which playstyle/role are you finding to win at least 60% of your games. This season seems impossible.

It depends. I had about 60-70% win rate on akali top two seasons ago. before that I had about 80% win ratio on Janna in season 5 I think. It depends on which playstyle you are comfortable with playing right now.

You need to identify the win condition for the role and champion you are playing and take actions and decisions towards facilitating that goal.

Ie, with Janna (pre ardent meta), your win condition was and probably still is: protect your team mate that shows the highest potential to carry. that might be your adc, or your mid assassin or mage, or even the top laner. If you keep the guy or girl with top gold in your team alive, you don't give shut down. Gold and you push objectives.

If you play talon for example you got multiple win conditions : Destroying the enemy lane and then roam bit to kill and push turrets. constant roam to give your top and bot advantages and even more roaming to secure kills. or abusing and destroying the enemy jungle. By warding the enemy jungle, pushing mid and then go in the jungle and kill the enemy jungler over and over and over again. Advantage of method 1) enemy team has no mid lane and you get first turret in bot or top by your roams (rarely you get 2 hard feeding lanes. advantages of method 2) easier for your bot and top to win their lanes. Advantages of method 3) you shut down the enemy jungler, making their ganks close to none existing, this helps your own jungler a lot. as you can see all methods basically take recources you generate and spreads them to your team. in a fight between a monkey and a human, even the monkey can win if you give it a knife while the human is set behind and has just bare hands :)
