For all the "elo hell isnt real"

I just wanna state my opinion because it has become evident just how hard it is to get out of lower elo's. It doesn't matter how hard i win lane or help other lanes i simply get trolls and afkers in half of my games. Doing the math i lose around 22 lp when i lose, and only gain 16 when i win, therefore its obvious i can't gain in ranks. I understand sometimes games are unwinnable but I hate when people say carry out. No one should have to 1v5 the other team in order to gain a rank. Feel free to look at my match history and tell me im not doing better than others at my rank. I don't wanna hear this bullshit about how "if im silver, i belong here". Yes, i'm in silver, but if you notice the amount of trolls in afkers in my games, its apparent that somethin needs to change. I wish riot would implement a system thats queues people up based on stats from games, like avg stats, cs, kda, and lvls and shit like that. Therefore peopl that perform better in games get matched up with people who do the same, instead of going from having a team that listens to a team that flames and trolls.

After a quick glance at your match history I can give you one bit of quick advice. Main something. From what I see of the games you play (especially as I go farther back in your history) you have a tendency of playing a lot of different champions. One thing I notice when low elo players complain about not being able to climb, is that often they play whatever they feel like, depending on their mood or who they think is OP, and never really getting good at any particular champion. If you start playing the same 3-4 champions over and over, your skill with those particualy champions and understanding of their strengths and limitations gets deeper. You'll be able to start stomping lower elo players and climbing will gradually happen.

I noticed in your later games you start to play Yasuo and Victor a lot. I suggest dropping one of those 2 (probably Victor since you also take Yasuo top lane so you can "double dip" with him) and finding one champion you are confortable with to play in each of the remaining roles and stick with playing that small subset of champions.

Where you're at I have been.

What you are experiencing is a tilt most likely. Let me define a tilt: A tilt is usually caused by your emotions stopping you from seeing the 'big picture' in a game.

I looked at your match history, and i notice how often you play ranked. That right there is your first problem. It's unhealthy for you to gamble so heavily on your league points like that, even if you can't fight the feeling. It's better to rank up at a moderate pace - currently something I'm getting use to myself - than play again after 1 win. You could win the first two games, and matchmaking will give you a bunch of noobs, making you lose the next 4.

So a word of advice, play again if you win, stop if you lose. Normals are there for a reason.

Next, i would like to support the comment by Tilomentry. You seem to play many roles, and the problem there is you can be good at everything, but not GREAT at anything. let me explain:

You can be good at every role, but you won't have a role you specialize in. Not only is specializing a role difficult, but learning to master multiple champions in that role make it harder. I'd suggest you main a bot lane role or jungle, since they usually carry themselves in the early game.

Even if you happened to redress these problems, it's good for you to remember the 40-40-20 theory:

40% games you will win 40% games you will lose 20% games are dictated by how you play
