I have 3 accounts in Gold-Plat and I can tell you Bronze is the easiest rank to climb out of. If you have devoted that much time and energy into ranked and cannot get out of Bronze then maybe it is where you belong. It might suck to hear it but some people belong there and I personally know a couple. They play consistently and watch high elo streamers and can't climb. One of them genuinely can't get out of Bronze 5. Some people aren't cut out for ranked play.
Here are some basic tips though if you are really devoted to trying to climb:
Get deep wards in the enemy jungle when possible.
Knowing where the enemy jungler is makes your lane playstyle better. If you have a deep ward on their red/blue and know they are there then you can play accordingly. If a deep ward spots them on the other side of the map you can play aggressive in lane because you know your opponent won't get jungle support. If you get a deep ward on your side of the map and it spots them you can play a little safer in anticipation of a possible gank. Back off the turret if you are pushed that far and be ready to run. Knowing the enemy is in a position to gank is so much better than seeing them as they are ganking.
Know what power spikes are.
Knowing when you are strongest and your opponent is weakest will do you wonders. Good example is Fizz. He is weakest when he doesn't have his Playful/Trickster. When you uses it you go in on him. Know what items give you or your opponent the best power spikes. Like Triforce on Jax or Irelia. Once they have the completed item they are very strong and difficult to duel so don't try.
Learn how to lose lane without feeding.
Your goal in the lane phase is not to win lane. It is to not feed your lane. You can lose and not feed. Freeze the wave in a safe place for you to farm without fear of ganks or dying 1v1. If you can stay relatively close to your opponent in farm then you will be able to scale and be impactful later on.
Don't chase in fights. Peel for your carries.
So many fights can be won if beefy picks would simply peel for their squishy carries. Protecting priority targets and winning a fight is better than diving, getting a kill to pad you kda and then losing the fight because your carry was unprotected.
Don't chase in fights. Let your team peel for you and position properly.
As a tank player it hurts me when my adc is ahead of me in fights/before a fight. My job is to keep you alive and I can't when you Arcane Shift into the enemy team as Ezreal. Stay back and hug a beefy ally.
If your team is making a bad call either convince them not to or go in with them.
If your team is going for baron and you think it is too risky going in as 5 is more likely to win than letting them go as 4 and then running off to say 'told you so' when they die.
Don't roam just because you don't want to be bitched at.
Few things make me as sad as seeing someone leave lane because their lane opponent just ganked and kill a lane. If your lane opponent is already fighting in another lane and you don't have TP or a global ult just push the hell out of your lane. You will do yourself and your team no good roaming down after your team is already dead. You will just lose out on gold and exp and be that much more behind your opponent.
Go for objectives... not kills.
This isn't team deathmatch. If there is an open objective and a free kill always go for the objective over the kill. Getting that inhib/turret/dragon is better than chasing down that low health enemy. I hate reading people post complaining that they can't carry with 20+ kills because their team is bad. If you can get 20 kills and still lose then you are bad. All that means is you are good at getting kills but shitty at taking and defending objectives so you deserve to lose.
**Lane phase does not mean try to fight constantly. Focus on winning in cs and only fight when you are damn sure you will win. **
In lane phase you are trying to do two things. One, get creep score and exp. Two, deny the enemy creep score and exp. When they come up to farm try to poke them out without a full engage. Only when they are poked down and you are very confident you can get a kill should you go in. Try to force them to burn flash/mobility spells before engaging. Ashe is a solid example as to how to do this properly. Focus on farming and casting Volley to poke the enemy and zone them away. The more cs you make them miss the farther ahead you get. Sure you can ult and try to go for a kill but if they flash/dash/shift dodge your ult you are fucked and just threw your lead.
