i really wanna start playing with my friends in ranked 5v5s and even in ranked solo queue
also, i can play any lane except jungle, i mean i can play jungle but i'm really terrible at it and prob would just end up feeding especially if it were in ranked. do you really have to be good at all roles to start playing in solo queue, cause jungle is the only role i have problems with
Only tip I can give you, dont go straight into ranked when you hit 30. Get youself to 200-300 normal wins before your provisionals. This will get you a much better chance of getting placed out of bronze, and climbing from bronze is harder than from any other league.
Play a lot and enjoy it.
If you want to get to 30 fast, just make sure to win at least one game/ day so you get the boost from your first win of the day. I can't remember if that gives you a boost on exp gain or not, but you definitely get the 150 IP for first win of the day. This will help you with getting runes and expanding your champ pool. If you're life is getting in the way and not letting you have time for a long game, just do a co-op vs ai to get your win for the day.
Good Luck and great for you that you have a group of people to play ranked teams with.
The problem is that being good in jungle is the best way to win games. I mostly play jungle, and have about three times the wins of every other player I go up against in a game who is my level (not 30 yet either). I'm still not great at it, and it will be even harder to get good at if the preseason changes go through relatively untouched, but it is a good way to get good at game mechanics like objective control, ganking, resource management, and also learning to remember to ward. If you want to level up fast and don't care about always playing SR, then just play ARAM. It gives the same win rewards as SR, and the games are usually half as long.
just play ARAMs, the games are very fast, and generally you only get slightly less exp / ip from matches but because you do so many more so much quicker, you end up leveling faster and building IP much faster as well
Last I checked, maximum speed to 30 is achieved by playing TT with two friends and winning co-op vs AI games to level 20, then playing peoples to 30.
If you don't have friends, or are bored of TT, consider ARAM.

Just saying, ranked isn't as awesome as it seems to be. You are going to get a lot more ragers and mean people in ranked than in normals, especially in lower elos. I agree with the tip that you should play about 300 games before going into ranked. It'll help with knowing matchups and the abilities of other champions, along with improving your skill so you don't get placed into bronze. And no you don't have to be good at all roles to play ranked, just be able to play 1 or 2 champs that you at least don't feed with in each position. Since ranked is draft, people will enforce pick order and take your jungle.
