I need advice for ranked

Hello, I kinda need to rant, and well, hopefully you lot can give me some advice. The most basic thing is, is that I'm mildly afraid to do ranked. The main reason? I don't have a secondary role to fall back on, and as a mid main, I need one. Top, I hate with a passion, and just can't find much enjoyment out of. Jungle is fun, but I lack the experience to do it in ranked, and I don't even have a main jungler. Adc often falls on support to keep them safe, and I always have trouble keeping up with two people in my lane while csing. I like support but with the lack of people queing up as supp, I would just end up playing more support then I ever would mid. But hey, that would be fine if I just got supp more often then not, because at least I like it right? But, the main problem is the people I do main. Ap Ezreal is my main mid and well, he's just not someone I can carry well with on my own. Main reason being that I flat out need a comp that can compensate for my lack of cc and wave clear. While my kda is often good, and rather consent, I found that I just can't take objectives effectively on my own, and relay on killing people, and there are just flat out better mid laners for that... And my main for supp is Kennen, which just flat out doesn't have any reliable peel, and while he's great at poking and engage, he just can't do much to keep his adc alive. And well, again there are better picks for that. I don't know, my main problem I think is that I just play to off meta, and while I know my champions well, and can do well kda wise, I just tend to fall flat in terms of carrying... Sorry for the long ass rant, but just wanted to get my thoughts out.

So learn some other champs, The farthest I’ve ever been is gold promos 3 times(1-9 record). Shout out to top lane for feeding 7 of those games, and mid and bot for the remaining 2.

I don’t play top, but when I do, it’s in my gold promos and I don’t feed..

For mid, learn how to play ziggs(used him to climb silver), once ziggs gets, Athenes, Luden, Sorc, and Lich bane you become super strong late game. He also has amazing wave clear and an ult CD buff coming. I would also recommend learning Annie as her q is great for csing, you get mana back. For Annie start Doran, then build morello, Frost, Liandry, Rylai, Sorc, and Luden or void. This gives you 56 sec cd on ult, but Tibbs lasts 45 secs so it’s a 12 second ult. annie doesn’t need to build damage because a 12 sec ult is worth it as is rylai tibbs with liandry drain. annie can also be taken as support with the same build except put sight instead of item 6.

You could also learn Velkoz mid, veigar.

Warwick is great to use for learning jungle. I got out of bronze with warwick Cd tank(ult adc). Malphite jungle can be good against non ganking enemy junglers(once again tank because your team will never tank.)

For support, Blitz to hard counter enemy annies, Thresh, Leona.

You have to WIDEN the champs you play. I would also recommend googling match ups while you’re sitting in champ select. If the enemy chooses Yasuo, google yasuo counter, if they pick zed, zed counter. If you see a trend of champs that enemy teams play, learn the counters in normals. And of course LEARN HOW TO FARM. WARD, learning how to ward properly will help you and your team the most.

Once I hit 30 and get my runes, I’m going to fight for Gold. I’m also planing on learning adc, starting with cait because she is easiest, then learning ashe to counter vaynes.
