Tips from a pro?

I'm in Silver 5 at the moment. I feel like Silver is a good division for me, as I think I'm better than Bronze but not as good as Gold. However, I cannot seem to win at Silver 5, ever. I do everything to the best of my ability. Play my best champs that would counter another(not to the point of playing someone I don't know, just to the point of someone who doesn't die easy to another), I ward as frequently as possible(and even try to keep a reserve by only warding after my jungler has cleared the first camp, so as to keep from early ganks but not ward at a low level like 1), I try to only fight against people I know I can win against, and, as a top laner, I harrass a lot, and still try to freeze lane and get as much CS as possible.

But for some reason, I get terrible scores. I don't know why, maybe I just get matched up against horrible counters that people have experience in, or whatever, but it just seems like I cannot get a single good Ranked game without being the least valuable player, and sometimes even single-handedly throwing the game. I even try to play safe if I'm doing bad, but sometimes its just not enough. I have people towerdiving me for kills, even though I kite them, I don't trade 1 for 1(kills, that is), I try to play as safe as humanly possible if I'm doing bad, or get as many kills as possible without giving up kills if I'm doing good, but it just doesn't seem like I can do good. Ever. I just lose and lose and lose, yet in normal games I seem to do so good. I'm usually one of the most valuable players on a team, I win lane probably 90% of the time, if my teammates are losing lane I help to get their lanes back but I just can't do it in Ranked. If I play aggressively I get ganked, and if I don't I get killed just in a 1v1 and harassed, and I don't know if its just bad teams or what but I don't seem to get ganks top either.

So, I don't know what's going on or anything but I would really like to know. Tips or anything?

Is there a way I can get a replay of your games?

That's a terrible idea. O.o Your ward will regen by the time it matters.

Anyway, skimming over your match history, your CS is terrible. I wouldn't assume I could 1v1 anyone if I had that shit of CS, and that probably is your problem. You need to work on that. You should aim for 5-6 CS a minute on AP champs and 7-8 on AD champs to start with.

You're currently averaging 3-4 regardless of AP or AD. That's bad. Basically, stop trying to 1v1 people until your farm is up to par. Try to roam and ping for ganks so you can get a numbers advantage on your enemies until then.

Also, I'd highly recommend you go to champion.gg to look at the most common item builds for champions, because your builds are sketchy.

Maybe get a more legitimate runepage? I'm no pro, but you're runepage is definitely sketchy. 2% experienced gained is a pretty useless rune. Especially when you only have 1 of it. I know runes are expensive, but they can really make or break an early trade.

Also, you sound like you're claiming to play in lane more than in jungle but I'm seeing that a large % of your ranked games, you're the jungler.

Coriandr if you want to pratice with me in some 1v1ns and some normals in willing to help you. I can help you with as much as I know. You seem to be doing some basic mistakes so it should'nt be too bad. Add me on league and il play with you when I get off of work.
