Play games. Communicate with your team, but don't get angry and call people names. Try to minimize your mistakes.

Ultimately, solo/duo queue is a matter of chance. Did you happen to be on the team without the troll, afk, or rage monster? Is your team against a troll, afk, or rage monster? Solo/Duo queue is as much about being good at the game as it is being lucky.

Unlike 77.105.22.232, I maintain there there is little correlation between player skill and ranked bracket. The only thing you can assume is that the higher brackets play the game more.

Also, AP Yi is pretty gimmicky, but he basically automatically wins his lane and has one of the easiest times cleaning up team fights.
