When should I start ranked games?
When I actually try I'm a pretty good top laner and average mid. But I get mad easily and end up leaving a lot.

I'd recommend waiting until around 300-400 normal wins. By then you should have a decent amount of overall experience and the good enough champion pool to play any lane with a degree of competence.
Two things you should know: Top and mid are the most desired roles in the game,so there'll likely be times when you have to play the other three. Learn them well. Also, rage quitting a Ranked game is the quickest way to find yourself on the bad side of Leaver Buster and the community in general. Try to find ways to keep your cool when playing (like listening to appropriate music in the background).
Be sure you are comfortable in all roles. You don't have to be amazing at them, just enough experience to say you can hold your own. Try playing some normal Draft Pick so you can pick up on Bans and pick order. Bans tend to change depending on what Elo you end up in, for example Blitz is a popular ban in lower elos, but not so much in higher because the average player at that point can dodge rather consistently.
Also, I want to reinforce what Kero said, always play with a level head and good sportsmanship. Most people in Ranked are focused and not too ragey in my experience compared to normals, but because its higher stakes if someone does snap they snap hard. Teamwork OP bro, gl!
The other two have good advice. I would add: be solid in all roles, but it's ok to focus on one or two roles. Ask for your preferred roles--you won't always get them, but throwing out what you are good at let's your team know what you are more comfortable with.
Being able to counter any matchup and being very familiar with a role is invaluable in my opinion, just be prepared for when you are not playing that role (it happens to everyone in solo queue).
My last piece of advice is to not sweat it when you lose. Everyone does, but every game is a brand new game, and anything can happen in solo queue! If you find you are on a bad losing streak or got particularly angry at a loss, just take a break and come back to League to try again later. When you decide you're ready, good luck :)
well u could just play broken champions
