Main Champion and Ranked Climb. Hope I can get some advice.
So...I started to play League in S5, getting S5 in my first run at ranked ladder. This season I made it to G5 on my own, playing mostly support. While I really enjoy playing support and helping my team I ran into wall.
I barerly can win a ranked game now. Biggest reason behind it is most likely fact that I may be borderline gold player so that's as well as I can play for now and I just have to get better, but at the same time - I lack main champion. Most points I have on single champion is Soraka with 112k points and Lvl 6 mastery, following her are Lvl 6 Nami with 54k and Lvl 6 Vi with 52k. It really thought I can say I main Raka, but she doesn't feel like my go-to champion. My ADC main friend can easily say her main is Jinx, same as others like GP top main or Nidalee jngl main etc.
What Im looking here for is a few pieces of advice, hoping I can get better. So, first - How do you pick your main champion? Is your decision based only on how fun the champion feels or do you have other criteria that come into play (skill cap, favorable itemization etc)? Like I said, I enjoy playing supports - especially stuff like Raka, Nami or Bard but I keep losing games even when our bot stomps enemy bot, top or mid just falls behind and there is nothing I can do about it really. It sucks when you see "Defeat" and you know you had no control over it for the most part. I think that's why I try to learn how to play top or mid - to try and have bigger impact on the game. What kind of playstyle is best for climbing. I know that you should just play what you like, to be comfortable on champion and know how to play it - but there is always route in solo q where you can carry team. I tried to pickup snowballing assasins, but I rarely roam which is important for them - most of the time I just ends up pushed into turret and can't leave mid or I'm pushing my enemy under his turret and do nothing about it for various reasons. What are things that are most important for climbing in solo q? I really hoped I could reach plat (or at least get close to it) but highest I was in G5 now is 35LP (Im in G5 for like a month now). Would it be better for me to stop playing ranked games for now and just play normals, trying to get better, find my main and practice it? What you guys think?
I also link my op.gg profile, so you guys can check my stats - maybe you find something in there that will give your more info about me and my playing style and maybe thanks to this someone will be able to give me some hints on how to get better :) I just want to mark something, clarify it because that may be one of concerns - I have 46 champions played in ranked games this season, but that was my dumb mistake in the first months of the season, where I just played basically 5 roles and didn't stick to neither single role or single champion. In last months I sticked to Nami and Raka for the most of the time, grinding only with those two.

I really hope to get some help, I would really love to get better - and if I can't reach plat in this season, I would love to get that in Season 7.
