Requesting tips for ranked

Just wondering if anyone can give me some tips for getting out of silver, and maybe getting into plat? I take breaks from the game a lot so my skill ranges a bit. I made it to gold 5 twice now, every season has started with a lose streak. Anyways, Losing pretty bad as usual. Just wondering, is it my fault I'm losing every game? I'm not a negative person and I don't rage ingame, I usually keep a positive attitude and try to help out people who are doing bad. But I just keep losing, can someone tell me or look at my recent games and see what I might be doing wrong? Or just give me some general tips for gold or plat. Thanks in advance (:

PS: If you didn't look me up, I mostly play mid. Malz / Brand

GL getting to plat. That is the top 10% of the player base. IF you are asking for help you will not get there.

Also, disregard the few normal games in my match history, I don't play those as serious

Clicking through some of your match history and especially your lost games its rather difficult to say what went wrong. You seem to be doing what you are supposed to as a mid mage. Putting out a lot of damage.

Maybe as a team you are not taking advantage of the situations where you get a few kills and should be pushing objectives.

I got from bronze to low plat by simply spamming Vel'Koz non stop. Either as mid, sup or even top sometimes. I try to put out a lot of AOE damage and always try to push lanes. No chasing no going back and forth to kill a guy 4vs1. Just push those waves and kill those towers and try to get your teammates to do the same.

Also upgrade your trinket at level 9 and ward. One pink in your own jungle and 3 wards out depending on the situation.

Well I am not especially high (only gold 5 and in promos), but I am pretty sure I have mmr a bit above g5 because generally there are at least 3 plat5s in every game I play and no other people below g3 so lets see if I can help.

The best thing I can recommend is have a specific job that you like to fulfill. For me a tank/bruiser who has either a good amount of cc or a lot of damage and decent initiation works for me. So I try to play as many of those as I can. What I generally play is either Top/sup/jung so I can fill this role. I make sure I can play adc/mid if I need to, but generally I prefer to be the teams frontline. By filling this role, I limit the amount of importance specific champions have on my playstyle. I know what I want to be doing, and I only need to learn the few nuances each champion has that makes them do that role slightly differently. This helps me always know what I want to be doing in the game and has helped me carry some otherwise unfavorable games.

The most important thing is to know what you need to do, and what you are able to do. Playing a specific role a majority of the time helps you do this in a variety of situations. Of course don't neglect other roles. You got to make sure you can play everything adequately or you screw over your team.

I just hit plat 5 man and I think im gonna get demoted but I can tell you how I got here. If your ahead no matter what lane you are go roam and take objectives. The best champs in solo queue are ones with good mobility and cc like wukong, janna, and leblanc just to name a few. Also play your best champs, don't rage, ward everything. Also look at builds on probuilds and lolking.
