great job on this one mate, first let me congratulate you for the hilarious description of champions

Also the advice your giving is very helpful for the players finding a hard time to pass silver.

I'll add something which worked for me: In my timezone and server I realised that the possibility of me getting a decent team is greatly incresed if I play in the morning or late evening/night, I avoided playing rankeds at noon and that secured me a spot in gold: why? I don't know exactly but there are some possibilities:

1. In the morning players just started playing for the day so they are very confident and ready to not dispear over giving first blood for example

2. Someone playing lol at 11 or 12 pm (midnight) is probably there because he really wants to win and/or promote and they will give their best to do so

this may not be true, I may have been just lucky but it's definitely worth a shot, because I still have the impresion that the largest numbers of trolls and flamers play at noon
