Im a mid main and play ahri , fizz and xerath in silver 4. i have a 60% 57% and 59% win rate respectively and have about a 61% wr overall in ranked. Even with those percentages in the vast majority of games i lose i am fed (usually about 11/3). I try to roam as often as possible after 6 and do a pretty decent job of looking at map and rotating for jgl invades. I average i think around 6 cs per minute. Given this i still find myself not able to climb. I gain about 17 per win and 22 per loss. According to op.gg my mmr is s2 (not sure how accurate that is). I started playing league im January and climbed to silver from bronze 5 in about 4 months but havent really climbed since. I know there's no definitive answer wuthout seeing gameplay but is there anything i can do to improve my climb. I was masters in overwatch so i know what playing at a "high" level is like and its frustrating being this low.

You lp gains are low because your mmr is low. You claim you have 61% win ratio in ranked, but I checked and you have 51% in soloQ, which is much more in line with those lp gains. This is a very common problem with low elo players, which is to play a few champions well but then ruin the overall winratio with a bunch of garbage they don't know how to play.

You mentioned Ahri, Fizz and Xerath? Ok, why don't you try playing just those 3? You could dodge games where you can't, doesn't really affect your mmr, or you can decide on a couple champs for if you get autofilled, like Sona and Alistar. But you should really try to play mostly just those 3 champions. Instead, you have 39 champions played in soloQ. Stop doing that and you'll climb, probably to high silver/low gold.

If that's not enough for you, we can talk on discord: https://discord.gg/x9rpR4

But in my experience, most people just want a quick fix that'll make them climb without effort.

Sadly there isn't a simple answer to this, and there is probably a ton of stuff you could work on. My advice would be to go to a more dedicated platform for teaching, such as r/summonerschool or their discord server (https://discord.gg/TWFNsQ) which is really good and I find helps people out a ton! You can even get free coaching/vod reviews on the discord if you want.

The boards just isn't a great place for educational questions since anybody can respond and you have no real way of judging who's giving good/bad advice.

In the past 2 weeks I've lost about 250-260lp and gone from Gold 3 to almost demoting to silver 1, I have been trolled, hard inted, flamed, griefed and dealt with someone going afk in almost every single game I've played in those past 2 weeks. There's nothing to say, climbing is about luck, praying to god your team doesn't have someone who's mentally imploding or trying to lose the game. I'm sorry you have to experience this game during what is undoubtedly the worst, absolute worst season in this games history.

Update

I qued for another game after making this comment and immediately had my role stolen in the pregame lobby by the first pick autofilled support. Can you guess how that game went? You want my honest advice dude? Go play Overwatch. This game is garbage and Riot doesn't care about you, or anything else, other than LC$

Please don't play champions that require skill and you should be fine :D [slayer-jinx-wink]
