Hi guys, about 3 months ago I posted the same topic on my struggle in silver.I am a mid player that can play multiple mids really well. I already know that there is something wrong in my gameplay because I always crush my lane and get fed with 1-3 kills and I still end up losing the game. If you search me up you can see I have such high kdas but low win rates. I know KDAS are meaningless if you can't win, but the point is I cannot carry myself out of silver. I recently just dropped from s1 to s4 dramatically. I always roam when I see a chance and kill the lane, but it usually comes out in 2 outcomes. Either top or bot already died so many times or they get a kill and die the next time they come back. From this players begin to flame the crap out of each other and being super toxic causing many afks. I don't flame but I feel so bad right now beacuse I can't even carry myself out of silver. Any strong tips or tricks summoners?

Ok. Looked through a bunch and what I'm not seeing are objective pushes. Especially dragon.

When your laner is just killed try to go bot with jungle to art least push their bot back. Or if they aren't very far up and you can do it just you2 kill the drag.

Your not the only one thats been having trouble climbing, they make it so you lose so much lp that it becomes really hard to climb. Anyways, it seems your mmr is pretty low. I don't think its your individual play so to speak, rather because of the loses and the occasional bad games where you don't do as good your getting matched up with people who have worse mmr.

Is like to see you buy more wards, upgrade your trinkets more often.

You also have to realize you as a midlander are in a tough meta right now. Assassins are not in a good spot. Why play an assassin, when you can play cho, or someone really tanky.

I can only see a few things.

wards. There are games where you placed less than 5 wards all game. Wards save lives. Vision means a lot both to you and your team. You need to be more aware of that.
You have at least 7 champs with 20+ ranked games played this season. That's a lot. You probably should narrow your champ picks just a bit. Looking at your win percentage I'd say you might want to drop Ahri and Orianna for now as you are at less than 50% win rate on them, while you have 55+% on Xerath and Twisted Fate.
as another person said, assassins are struggling a bit in this meta. You might need to consider that as you continue to play.

That's about it. From what I can see your team comps were reasonable so there isn't much to suggest there. If you can improve your CS/min a bit that might help, but you usually get above 6 there so you are already decent.
