Getting a duo partner helps so much. It's just a comfort thing. You know how one person on the team will play, and that makes you comfortable in your own lane. I went from silver 5 to 3 with only 1 loss, not because my other lanes did better, but because I just new that top lane wasn't going to get destroyed. Our team fights were better too because I could yell at him to peel for me and that kind of thing.
