You should also take into consideration that in solo queue you should have a partner or you will end up in elo hell like myself. Bronze league isn't fun especially when your main role is support.

I would say as long as you are comfortable on a few champs for each role and you understand/have seen what abilities every other champ has, then you could be ready for ranked. I know there are a lot of champs, but its a good idea to understand what all of them can do so that you can anticipate what your team wants to do and what to avoid from your enemies. In short, you do not want the feeling "I have no idea what this guy does" when he is your opponent in a ranked game. It can lead to unintentional feeding and your team can start flaming.

This brings us to the other big issue about ranked. Some people take it way too seriously and throw tantrums and curse and blame and become toxic at the drop of a hat in ranked. Be prepared for this if losing. Mute those ppl and report at end of game. Have thick skin. Don't let those idiots ruin your time. Ranked is more competitive, but doesn't need to be a miserable time if losing. Learn from losses. Look at the match history stats and figure out what to do better next time. Attitude gets you far in ranked.

Good luck.

Also utilize websites like probuilds.net to see what the pros are building on champs. I looked you up on OP.GG. Try Shyvana with challenging smite in the jungle. U usually have BOTRK to slow and the true dmg on AA is nice + dueling is easier with the reduction in received dmg.

it depends how you look at it.

Are you ready to evaluate yourself about where you stand? (and be ready to rank quite low at first and grind a lot) Or do you want to have all the requirements to start at a better rank (which can take more time than just grind since you cannot learn as much in normal than in ranked--but is less fustrating)
