Is there anyway at all to get out of silver? I've been trying the best i can and i believe that i'm good enough to play in gold and so on. The only thing is i always get teamed up with the players that dont have much experience and play against the players who are diamond ready. Then when finally get into a series after going on a good winning spree of 3-4 games i get those inexperienced players and i get last pick so i can't pick a lane to try and carry the entire team. I'm not sure if it's just my luck but it always happens and it's really weird as to how often it happens. I just want to be able to get up and play with more experienced players and actually not get mad at everygame that i play. I really enjoy the game but the way it's going i'm starting not to enjoy the game as much as i wish.

If your silver then you are there for a reason. Sure youll get trolls and sometimes lose games and it not be your fault, but if you truly belonged at a higher elo your win rate would be positive and you would get there. Try learning other roles so you can carry from those roles that you get put with as last pick. At lower elo thatd be support usually

Spam snowbally champs that can dominate a game when ahead and learn how to win lane hard with them.

Stick to champions that you maintain a higher than a 50% winrate with. If you can consistently win or even trade games you will eventually climb. Spamming zed and thresh just are not working out for you. Some champs to consider that are safer in those same rolls are people like ahri and janna that provide alot to your team and are pretty strong right now in the meta.

Also if your on tilt just take a break for a few days then come back and play games not necessarily to win but to learn. Trying hard to win sometimes makes people do dumb things like overextend or force bad plays.

Hey if youre in silver and believe you are gold, you will get gold eventually. There is 2 ways to climb . Either main a champion to outplay in mechanics or play smart. IF every game you play riven top, eventually you will keep getting better at riven and know every matchup . You will win top lane 80% of games then you are learning how to transition a lead into turrets into wins. The 2nd way to climb is to play smart. This game is mechanics + strategy. you can be very strong in strategy. Ward up alot, but not only ward, make sure you are checking you wards on your minimap for ganks or else wards dont mean much. I see silver players spotting ganks a mile away on their wards but not seeing the gank anyway. Pick champions for the teamcomp in champ select. If youre last pick and your team has no tank and no engage (actually this is pretty common), then fill that role - j4, malphite, leona, etc. IF the enemy team is entirely AD, yasuo or zed mid, riven trynd or jax top, then pick a champion that scales strongly with armor. Gnar, malphite, shen, champs that build heavy armor tanks. anyways ,you can add me ingame ill help you or coach you im plat my ingame name is Madstar

Looks like you hit a wall. Probably the quickest and easiest way for you to fix this is to record your games and watch them. Figure out what you did correctly/incorrectly and use that to improve your mechanics and decision making. Having a more experience player help point them out will greatly speed up this process.
