First things first. 1200 elo is the starting elo for everyone from there the change will be held depending in your 10 placement matches. 1200 elo= Silvers III meaning thats the average. As what I can see, you fit right in seeing that your not a serious LoL player no offense.

Now for some advice, if you ever want to commit abit more time. Don't play when your mad/raging from a lost last game it will affect your psychology and judgement 100%, take a break. ok moving on, I'm glad some people in Silvers actually knows their mistakes that's the 1st step of getting better. Now since you know it, assess it( this works especially when you have a recording device e.g. LoLreplay ). "Is it my fault?, What did I do wrong?, Could I have done something better?" think about it and try to incorporate it in the next few games. The less you make mistakes the better you become and if you still lost even without mistakes then it's pretty much your team who's not doing their job properly. Also when your way behind just farm it out don't even try to fight the enemy and if he ever tries to roam all you can do is warn your team via pings( you going to need wards for preemptive knowledge ), push the minion wave punish her for roaming. "But Blazbleu I need to help my team or else they going to blame me for the roams!?" is probably on your mind. No just no, think about this, let's say their fed mid laner roamed bot and you roam just in time with her, who do you think going to win against a 3v3? it is pretty obvious who has an advantage. The best you can do is the sentence before this: farm,ward,ping & punish.

Anyways this information should be enough for now, not going to info overload from too much advices lol. This should help if you ever want to reach higher tiers and divisions just like what my bro did. Gave him advice, pointing out his mistakes, what champ counters who and all that. Because of that he reach Silvers IV from the semi-depths of so called Elo hell(bronze 3-5). This is coming from someone who was unranked at S1(was not serious at first), then High golds almost plat at S2 and as of now a Diamond.
