Ranked losses

So last season I got stuck in Bronze. This season, it looks like I'm probably going to get stuck in there again. It seems that someone on my team always feeds, or someone on the enemy team plays a stupidly OP champ like Master Yi. And the games that I win, I am always carried by someone else on my team. But, my choice of champion might have something to do with that (I love to play Twisted Fate, but I really suck with him for some reason). So, I am asking for tips, tricks, and general strategies to help me get out of bronze, and become a better player. And if you have any advice for Twisted Fate, that would be great.

I played a lot of mid and jungle to get out of bronze. I feel that it's easier to carry games in bronze from those positions. You have a much greater global impact from those positions. It becomes easier to force objectives for your team and help out losing lanes. For TF, I would say just ward a lot and watch the map after level 6 for open ganks. This isn't ideal, but if last hitting is your problem try some AD in your runes to give you that extra little damage to kill the minions. If you can't hit your skillshot, the only advice I can give you is to practice it a bunch. There's not really any tips for hitting skillshots. You just have to learn the travel-speed, width, and range of the shot over time. Also to make your ult ganks better, you can start picking your yellow card before you ult in. This will allow it to be ready immediately, ensuring the enemy can't escape you.

I carried myself out of bronze last season with MissFortune ADC

Someone with crazy mid game power so we could stomp all teamfights after lane phase. If you win a few consecutive teamfights people are likely to surrender, so play someone who can carry teamfights.

In other words, getting out of bronze has a lot to do with the champs you play, from every role you want to be able to carry. TF is kind of a supportive midlaner, which is actually very strong, but less so in bronze because your teammates usually aren't that reliable.

You can carry from every role, even support - a great bronze support is Karma because she does tons of damage. build item 3303 item 2049 item 3020 item 3165 item 3089 and you're basically an APC with a sightstone.

People constantly post about getting out of bronze and they never say what they are doing wrong, the number 1 reason you are bronze is yourself. Humble yourself and realize riots match making system although buggy at times ranked is based on your performance to match with 4 other people and work yourselves as a team to victory. What kind of approach are you taking in champion select? "Jungle only" or "Jungle>ad>etc>etc" be flexible with your picks and acknowledge when you make a mistake. You ever watch a professional player stream? They are constantly dogging on themselves if they miss a creep or make a silly call. Don't always throw your team mates under the bus. Yes there are times that the 0/9 ryze doesn't seem to have any braincells but what position are you? If you're jungle why did ryze get 0/9 before getting any help, midlane same situation, even as AD and support you could inform your jungler to give your laner a little help. Once someone falls behind in lane if someone doesn't help it becomes a grueling situation.
