you win ranked by not playing it. ranked is such a hell hole that not even Satan himself would go down there.

i got advice from a real smurf once that i met by accident through matchmaking. Knowing that he's more knowledgeable about the game i asked what i could improve in myself.

He told me that my micro is of gold level but that i ave to work on my macro (i'm mid btw so for me this means balance my roams better, vision and tune my map control)

Ofc each person is different but judging from you saying that "it doesn't matter if i get c- or s+ i will still lose about 60% of my games" then i suggest you stick to champions your confident with and work on improving other areas of gameplay such as macro and map controll.

Surely, i was told that as well ( good micro bad macro ) what i meant was that even if i play 20 - 0 with soraka or with zed i will most likely still lose since most my games are 1v9, but thanks for the reply ^^

1v9 incidents happen to the best of us and they suck. Getting a good premade team would be an amazing improvement since yo're guaranteed good teammates every time but i'm pretty sure it's easier said than done to find said team. When it comes to soloq it's the disadvantage of having to deal with trolls that we suffer from but what can we do about it really.

For instance lost my last game because of a feeding bot and an afk jgl, nomatter what i do there's no way we'd win that. And neither the community nor the Riot is willing to do anything about it.

Kind of a coincidence tbh but for the past 2 days i have been trying to get the opinion of the community regarding a ban where you can add bad teammates to a personalized list where after dealing with them once you aren't forced to play with them on your team ever again. The post got some replies and helped me fine tune how it works but even with the solutions once proposed to riot support i got a negative feed back telling me that it would affect queue times, so indirectly they have short queue times on such a high pedestal that they're willing to sacrifice good gameplay for it which imo is absurd.

I guess dealing with bs ever 2 games is the only way to go and nothing can be done except improving our "carryig" skills too get that slow climb going. Other than that i don't have much of a suggestion for an easy fix for ranked climbing. Play meta champs i guess? Nonetheless gl ^^
