Trying to improve

Well the past week ive decided to try and take games more seriously and trying to get better. Ive been playing with a gold 4 adc in both normal and 3 ranked flex games (cant play solo que cause hes gold and I'm bronze 3 because of my 2-8 placements) I was silver last season and I felt I was consistent enough to be a silver player. I feel like I am a silver player and that is my elo. However ive been playing really good in these gold games and even carried one of the ranked games as xin Zhao. I usually play support with him but got my secondary rrole jungle. My friend says from the games weve played together he can definitely see me as a gold player but I think hes beign a little too generous. My point is I'm looking for other people to maybe play flex or norms with us and give me your opinion on how well I am playing. All advice is welcome.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
