Is there a key to climbing or is it luck?

I'm having a ton of difficulty climbing mid silver. I actually feels like bronze but worse. I spend all my games trying to put out fires and stop others from fighting that I can't play proactively and get anything done. I'm just wondering, is there a strategy for climbing out or do I have to get lucky and normal people in my games? Not people who /all chat say "FUJK UR m UM" as soon as the game loads. Ill put the link for my op.gg . Just ignore my kai'sa game because my irelia rage quit and my ww game because my internet died.

Don't try to win every game it's too much pressure and it's not possible. The goal of this game in soloq is to maximize your influence, which means learning how make the decisions that will optimize your chances of winning through gaining advantages (towers, kills, cs, objectives). When it comes to teammates just try to keep your team positive or they will give up and suffer in concentration, and focus on communicating with pings rather than typing, for example as a mid i will mia twice and danger ping my side lanes as soon as my mid leaves vision for a decent time and it SIGNIFICANTLY decreases their roam potential; some teammates will ignore and die but thats just league. Also only pick champions you know because familiarity allows you to make deicions significantly quicker which is key to climbing.

Your cs/min is low, your kill participation isn't low, and your kda is low. Get out of chat and just only focus on game play, win or lose. If your teammates start arguing you can tell them to mute each other then mute them. When people throw a fit they want you to respond and pay attention to it. If you ignore them they'll start just trying to get through the game instead intentially ruin it.

Bronze/silver: you can still carry on your own, unless there’s just dead weight on your team Gold: figure out who on your team is the weakest link, either make sure they don’t get too far behind or make sure a carry doesn’t feed off them.

I've had 3 4v5's in the past week. Its like riot wants me in bronze. I had a 70% WR at one point. I can't find a place where I can consistently carry. Either I'll do well and then try to get my team fed but then we throw and lose, or our team will get shit on from the get go. It feels impossible to win. I guess I'm forever a bronze player. If after 2 seasons, I still stuck, I'll probably never be even decent at the game
