How am I supposed to get out of silver?

When I'm getting 17 lp per win then get an afk and lose 22.... Seriously wtf is this horseshit! This isn't even a test of my skill when I have to deal with fucking feeders and afks half of my games! Statistically I should be facing teams with more trolls and afks than me but nope, I get them almost every game! I have games where we have a 0/8 caitlyn by the 15 min mark. Jesus Christ you're suppose to just turret hug after 2-3 deaths but nope, no one understands that. If you look me up you'll see I've played 75 games so far, out of that I have only 2 games where my kda dropped below 1:1. That means I feed/lose lane maybe 2% of the time! I know KDA doesn't mean much, but it at shows that at least I never feed. I have been silver 1 since season 2 and now I'm in silver 4 and can't even keep a win streak due to these toxic players. At this rate it's going to take me months just to get back to silver 1. It pisses me off because my friend who just started playing is in gold because of good placements, and now I'm in silver 4 playing with bronze players!?? I can't remember the last time I lost lane but I can't carry 4 other people every single game. I know you guys are just going to say I suck because I'm in silver, but let me remind you I have been playing since season 2 and have never dropped below silver 3, ever! OH and btw I've had 3 afks on my team these past 10 games.
OK I'm done with my rant, will probably quit playing ranked soon because it is so frustrating.

There's a lot of people with Swagger on here who will tell you its all skill, "Git good", silver is easy, etc. I finally got gold 3 this season after being in silver 1 for a year playing on and off. Its HARD. Once you get to gold, you just breeze through. So, some advice from a gold level jungler.

  1. Play OP champs. Sorry, do it. I played champs for fun. It'll get you to silver 1. Play OP champs after that, at least if you jungle. I never lane, so couldn't help you out there.

  2. Know you suck. You do. Tell yourself that. Then say, "How can I not suck as much?" Read up. Learn game knowledge. Work on teamwork. Turn all chat off. Don't rise to arguments with teammates. Mute rude people. Cajole your team not to infight, but yell at the other team instead, whatever.

  3. Don't worry about winning. Worry about learning from mistakes, and then not making them. To get to Silver 1, I told myself "You make 3 mistakes, you're being carried." To get to gold? "If you make 2 mistakes, you're now being carried." Then recognitze your mistakes. Realize the pitiful loser you are when you F up. Then say, "I'm better than this, because I'm going to learn, and not do it again."

  4. Lose all ego. Its pathetic. It holds you back. If you're doing everything right, and still not climbing out to gold after 10-20 games in silver 1, its you, not them.

  5. Understand you will lose games no matter what you do. 60-70% win ratio is amazingly good. That still means you lose 3-4 out of every ten games. Don't get mad. Just evaluate yourself. How did YOU do that game. Stay consistently good, and never blame your teammates, its only a cop out to make yourself feel better and accept playing at a lower level.

Good luck!

If you're losing more LP than you're gaining, it means your mmr doesn't quite fit for your current division. Thus you are actually in a higher rank than you actually deserve, according to your skill level.

you need personal training. Works wonders in a short amount of time. I highly recommend soroco120 as he is challenger tier and charges a reasonable price. check his stream on twitch at twitch.tv/soroco120
