User blog comment:Leyrann/How can I make my Elo rise faster?/@comment-219.79.44.124-20130104170152

Not sure how useful this will be, but I've found that the key is to have a good understanding of your role. I.E. I normally play Irelia, and while I don't believe I've "mastered" her, I can achieve very good results in laning, normally winning if I don't get fed mid ganked/jungle camped. But as I am a melee/tanky I tend to be the initiator. I can have a good impact, but it really relies on my team. So, All I can say is, don't try to carry with one role that you play exceptionally, but adapt yourself to your team so that you have a good mix of roles.

Tl:DR, try playing multiple roles, and find ones in each you are confortable with. Also, don't go Rambo Solo, as that tends to cost your team. Also to the person with the natural elo thing, that is technically true, but considering LoL is a) A team cooperative focused game, and b) Free, chances are that you will get trolls/ragers that have made it to Lv.30 and decided to play ranked specifically. So, the natural elo thing relies on everyone on your team cooperating, which in my expierience is a little tricky at the lower (1200-800) elo range, and gets better further up.
