the past week i started playing ranked again and went from bronze 3 to bronze 1 in 2 days, loosing only 2 games. I got confident and started playing to silver, but i lost 8 games and only won 2. now i'm bronze 2 again with 53 lp. what is going wrong? during my win streak i got fed in every game, but now my team mates are feeding, going afk and i cant outplay my lane opponent, i just cant get fed like before. any tips?

Take a break from ranked. Then, go back and treat it as a fresh start.

I feel you, man... I have frequent losing streaks and am stuck in Bronze. My best trick is to practice in customs to get fed again and to just take a break. Enjoy the world and let go of your stress. Finally, it might help to find another duo partner who can carry hard, or someone who knows your mains well and can help you. I hope this helps, Greydawg

you went up in teirs so your opponents get harder, but if you really want to carry a game then its not about the how many kills you get its about your cs a kill is only worth about 13 cs so if you just out farm your opponent then you will kill in later on because your items will be more advanced.

Play normals, play 1-2 ranked a day only.

I read this piece of advice a couple seasons ago that I pretty much play by. Essentially, you go into ranked and play. If you lose two ranked games in a row, just stop and go do something else. Usually if I lose twice in a row, I'll stop playing ranked for the day and either go play some arams/normals or just log off and do something else. I also watched some streams of Dyrus and he was all," Even just taking 10-15 minute breaks between games can help you relax" or something like that.

Try relaxing before each game. If you constantly think about your losing streak, it'll just be a hindrance to you and already prep you to feel negative about your games. Just keep playing and if you really belong in Silver, you'll climb out eventually. When I was in Bronze/Silver I found that if I just played more and more, I eventually got better/got out. Besides that, if you keep playing, the nervousness or tense feeling you could feel from going into ranked will probably disappear and you'll just treat ranked as a normal game mode.

Hopefully you get out of that rut. Good luck.
