Oh come on. I haven't read everything, but I'll tell you MY story.

I had bad allies in my placement matches, and I ended up at 967 Elo. I was that angry I quit ranked for a few weeks. At some point, I decided to try AP Yi mid in a blind. I got a penta in my first game, picked him again and made a quadra and some triples, and went ranked. In 14 games, I gained 203 Elo, all games except one all with Yi. Last game, I ended with a 30/6/10 score, 2 quadras and I don't know how many triples, showing me I can get a lot further.

And this is the secret. Find a champion you are really good at that also has good teamfight presence, and play this, and only this, champion.

Not to mention that you're still silver Elo, barely below where you once started. And you already have 200 games played. The law of the big numbers says that you belong here, or something close to here.
