Don't worry too much about your placement matches. If you get put in a lower division you should be able to out fairly fast. I ended up in silver V due to disconnected team-mates on every one of my losses, but I managed to climb to silver III in just about 8 games by playing Ziggs as much as I could.

My only real advice is pick a champion who can control the flow of the game well. I played Ziggs rather than Fizz (who I am much better with) because Fizz can only do so much if your team falls behind. Ziggs, on the other hand can still be useful if the enemy is ahead and trying to push. If the enemy plays smart and decides to group up you will have trouble jumping in with somebody like Master Yi or Pantheon.

Pick a champion who:

1. Does well in teamfight situations.

2. Can push lanes well. (has good map control)

3. Doesn't rely on their team to set things up for them.

Singed or Jarven may work well for you, I don't have many actual play-style tips because I don't play either of them often.

Sorry my advice is so rambling. If you didn't understand a word I said feel free to tell me and I will try to explain better.

Good luck!
