Hey, I was looking through your match history and stuff. Looks good enough for silver but your CS in all your games is very low for how long the times are. If you want we can practice 1v1ns and play some normals and I can help yah out. Im currently silver 3 and I just wanted to practice a bit more before getting back into ranked because I'm aiming for Gold 1 by the end of the season. Oh and you are a mid main and so am I so we can learn off of each other which will benefit us both.

If you're up for it send me a friend request. Good luck and take care.

If you've never played ranked before (like it's your first time), then winning 5 out of 10 should bring you to Silver 5. I remember winning 5/10 and getting Silver 4 I believe.

My looking at your games:

You seem to only get fed off champions. If that doesn't occur you loose hard (because you're playing assassin/assassin-like champions). This can be solved by one thing, CSing better

In a 40 mins game you have 143 CS. You should of had around 250+. In your 36 mins game between 200-230 and you have 118. In your 32 mins game you have 116 and you should have 200.

I'm being honest, but if you can't improve those numbers I GUARANTEE you won't make it in the high silver. Here's a trick to improve:

Go into a custom game by yourself in Summoner's Rift and pick a champion with very unresponsive auto attack animations (slow) and that has 49 or less AD. I would recommend Vladimir (extremely low AD which is 47, close range autos, very slow animation). NO RUNES OR MASTERIES

--> Goal: CS 80 minions in 10 mins WITHOUT SPELLS. JUST AUTOS.

This will take you a few tries. But if you can do this, you'll start improving. I'm 100% sure about it.

To be honest, don't expect to get from bronze to silver in less than 200 games, if you are making fast progress and currently playing at silver level. If you're bronze and trying to work up to get into silver, expect many more.

I have a friend bouncing between diamond 5 and plat 1 who leveled a smurf account from bronze 5 to gold 1, it took him over 400 games.

You will NOT get to silver over the course of a weekend.

And don't worry about individual games, as you play, you will get better and you will climb. Winning or losing an individual game is not as important as bronze players make it out to be.

A lot of the reason people are stuck in bronze is because they think an individual game is so important and they are so nervous that they can't play to the best of their ability.

- Take a break after every defeat and even victory. Could be 10 mins, could be an hour.

Don't do all 10 provs at once. ** -Just reflect on what you could do better and what you didnt do so well. - Don't get rude in chat**, your team will just get mad and probably feed/forfeit/report you (2 week suspensions are super easy to get now).
Take objectives. Id highly suggest trying to help your team get organized if you're not. If you're ahead, take dragon when possible and if you ace I'd always try and get at bare minimum one tower/baron/inhib/dragon and prioritize these based on what your team needs. Sometimes if you don't say you need to take objectives, it becomes more about kills and you throw because the other team knows they need the towers down and eventually they'll start getting some kills and then you'll find yourself with a 70 second respawn and 3 enemies pushing down your nexus towers.
Warding Remind your teammates to upgrade their trinkets (usually you have enough expendable gold by 20 mins assuming you're ahead). Make sure that Dragon/Baron are warded and both tri-bushes usually should have wards in them. Another important thing for mid is keep your lane warded. Lets say you're 1/0/0 on your first back. Buy a part of your first item, a pink ward and whatever potions you need and keep both sides of your lane warded. You can switch to a red trinket if you'd like.
Maybe find a duo partner. Sometimes your team is struggling a bit and it feels like you're the only one able to do something. Usually having a duo partner means theres someone you can trust and have communication skill with that can help you greatly win the game. -Smart Pings. If your lane opponent suddenly disappears, after a few seconds ping that they're missing once or twice. -Communication. If you see an enemy flash, type in chat who it was. If you notice dragon is up in 30 seconds, type it in chat. If you see an enemy ult, type that they don't have it. Simple things like this can make a big difference. If Morgana uses her soul shackles right before a team fight, its important your team knows that her ult will not be an issue in that fight. Some other basic tips are if top/bot lane are struggling/getting camped by the enemy jungler and you're ahead, you can roam to the other lane to help out. (I'd only do this if you know for a fact you can afford to be out of lane)

Not sure if I missed anything thats basic, I didnt even plan to type that much. Also sorry thats its not very neat/in point form. I just typed whatever I thought of.

Just depends on your overall MMR (which is hidden), like I was in Gold 5 last season and around 1500 MMR and went 5/5 this season and got Silver 3 (now around 1305 MMR).

But you can get a rough idea at op.gg

and overall KDA has nothing to do with how the rankings go, it's all just dependent on win and loss.
