Personally I just try to play support in solo queue. Eventually I get a bunch of smurf accounts in a row to carry me up to gold. I think there's a market for victorious skins or something, there are so many people ranking up from silver on new accounts.

i worked to improve my weak points. the more you improve, the easier games become. i went to watch your game that you are in right now as riven, but you were either dc or afk, so that didn't help.

in silver, you can pick a late game champ and just farm until you are strong, or you pick en early game champ and snowball. i like the first option just because it fits my play style, but i would even carry as support since that's my main for the longest time.

truly, you don't need to carry all of your games, I'm fairly sure you get some people on your teams that do ok and if you have trouble climbing, chances are, you belong at or close to your rank.

if i had more time, i would offer to watch you play ranked, but I'm actually going to be busy for a few days still. once I'm free, maybe then.

The idea that you have to carry to climb is true. If you want to go from Silver 4 to Gold 4, you have to carry your games. If you play mostly decently, most of the time, you aren't going to climb, you are going to crawl incredibly slowly, or not at all. Ideally when you reach the rank you should be and everyone else is too, you play decently every game and lose half of them anyways.

As far as tips, late game champs are super strong in low elo because no one knows how to end the game. And map control. So, if you are support, get your warding game on point. If you are anyone else, upgrade your yellow trinket and help your support ward.
