The thing I tell everyone below Platinum:

  • Ignore chat and don't type. Only use pings to communicate.
  • Lead your team. When you know you can take dragon, ping it.
  • Take the initiative and ward. Also try to keep track of timers yourself. (Made easier now that you can view them with tab.)
  • Map control. Try to take teleport unless support/adc. Try to have as much of a global presence as you can.
  • Roam. If you win lane, try to snowball other lanes.
  • Group. Don't go wondering around solo, even if your team is playing a little too passively. Simply try to encourage them to group and push, rather than going ham by yourself.

Any chance you could narrow down the question? Saying 'how do I climb elo' is super broad. Is it your mechanics that's the issue? Decision making? Itemization? Are you not able to recognize your mistakes (trust me they're there, everyone makes them)?
