You seem to be in the league you belong in.

Some tips for improvement based on what I can gather from your profile:
-Focus on last hitting when laning, your CS per game is very low, about half of where it should be for non-support/non-jungle champs
-You're going to have to carry yourself out. Don't ever rely on your teammates to do it in yolo queue. This means start playing champs that are easier to carry with (i.e. not jungle/support unless you can REALLY snowball your lanes, even then it's a crapshoot on how well the other people can carry).
-Focus on best build practices. A Draven with a vamp scepter, boots of swiftness, cutlass, avarice blade, and long sword is just not good. Ever. Zhonyas on Rammus? Avarice blades on Kayle don't seem good either.
-Play more conservative. You onlt have a positive KDA on 2 champs that you play regularly. Sometimes it's hard to always be positive KDA on supports/junglers, but dying less will still benefit your team over all.

Those are the only things I can suggest via a cursory glance at your lolking profile. In order to carry out I reccomend playing OP champs, and making sure you're the one carrying from either a MID/TOP/ADC position since that is the best way to do it.

Some more general tips for anyone who is lower elo and looking to advance:

-Don't rage at your teammates ever. Ez shifts into a 1v3? Sona's ward doesn't provide dragon coverage? Ken fail flashes over a wall during a gank. Don't rage. It will do nothing to help your team, and thus you win.

-Buy wards. Contrary to low-elo belief. Warding is not the supports job. It is the teams job. Just hit level 6 mid-land and backing for some items? grab a couple wards.

-Don't overextend without proper wards. Pushing that inner turret while their mid/jungler are MIA and you don't have their jungle entrances/your river warded? Ya, never do that.

-Kills are nice, objectives are nicer. Always keep objectives in your mind, and what they mean for your team. Did the enemy ADC just back? Can you shove lane and take a free dragon? ADC/mid laner show up bot 35 minutes into a game and leave baron free? take it.

-Tax your opponents mistakes. Bot lane didn't ward river? Gank them. Mid laner got greedy and died. Shove lane/damage turret. Purple jungler started blue, showed up top at 7mins and failed a gank? Steal blue. Capitalize on every mistake your opponents make.

-Learn and employ common strategies. This really starts at champ select. Know team comps, hard counters, pick orders, builds, game states, etc. Play optimally.

-Make sound decisions. This game is very meta. Knowledge and preperation are just as if not more important than execution. Don't engage that 3-1 Vayne that has cutlass and is level 6 if you're level 5 and have boots and vamp scepter.

-Know the best path to victory. You're not always going to be able to carry your teammates. Sometimes they are having a rough game, sometimes it's you that are having a rough game. If you keep dying in your lane CHANGE something. Ask for a swap, farm under turret, buy more wards, roam and get someone else fed, do ANYTHING other than what you have been. BD when it's appropriate, pressure when its appropriate, farm when it's best. Know which strategy is going to give you the best odds of winning and employ it.

EDIT: Should also add to play when you're in the best state of mind. Personally I've been on some pretty nasty streaks where I will go 2-10 or something dumb and blame it on everyone but me. Sometimes it legit is a 4v5, or someone intentionally feeds, and that may occur a few games in a row. I've noticed if I keep playing after this situations I usually lose. What's better is if I hit the reset button, take a break, shower, eat, hit the gym, do whatever I gotta do to take my mind off it and be in a good spot then come back and do it again. Sometimes I'll even take a few days off. Everytime I come back though I do better than before. That's what counts.

You forgot the best advice? Don't play master yi? I don't care what people claim about the validity of this champ, you aren't going to fit into team comps well playing a glass cannon jungler in solo que unless you're a master fiddler or eve player or something. Yi doesn't bring shit to a team.

You're about the stupidest person I've ever seen type on these forums. Please stop responding to my threads.

Appreciate your critiques. I'll probably reread them again later. Thanks!
