Advice to climbing to gold?
I really want to try for gold this season, but I keep getting demoted from Silver 4 to Silver 5, and losing more games than winning. Any advice to help me win more games?

1.) Focus on not dying over getting fed. If you DO give up one or two kills, start being very defensive, and try to stop the bleeding. Each time you die, everyone who killed you gains more influence over the game.
2.) Pay very close attention on who is fed and who is behind. It's critical to know how powerful your enemies are. If the Lee Sin already has 3 kills and the games still early, he's dangerous as hell, stay away. Always remember to know how strong your enemies are.
3.) When in Silver/Bronze - the best thing you can do is focus on** ONE** champion that you KNOW is good and practice the everliving CRAP out of him. Make it so everything you do is on autopilot, your items, your mechanics, everything. Once thats down, thinking about all the OTHER stuff becomes easier. (warding, aggression, positioning, teamfighting, comps, everything!)
4.) Try not to pay attention to allchat. If someone is disruptive, MUTE them immediately and move on. Do not engage in arguments. You will lose your game.
5.) I can't give you anymore advice without knowing your role and champions.
work on your core mechanics and your mastery over a few moderately strong champions. you could be 5 kills behinds your lane opponent but if you are enough ahead in cs then you're even in gold. ward everything. your trinket off cooldown? ward something with it (carefully mind you as the death bush is always painful) practice at least 2 roles, and 2-3 champions in each until you are good at them. learn as much as you can about other champions as well, which ones counter your champion pool? what does that metal fist flying at me do? (blitz rocket grab)
best part about being in silver is you dont need to be good at everything, you only need to be good in a couple areas.
something that might not seem significant. if you're on wifi try and get onto an Ethernet connection. your ping might not change but you'll get less packet loss which makes it feel like you have less ping
