Improve Mechanics

Every player has their own unique champion pool. While there are many champions in the League of Legends roster, there are only so many roles to fill. Regardless of what role you choose to play, if you want to be a good player, you need to practice your mechanics and build a strong champion pool. You can find guides on Youtube for any champ you're interested in playing or just look up some tips online about matchups or counter picks in specific roles and lanes. Practice makes perfect!

Watch Pro-Players Stream on Twitch

Watching pro-players stream is one way to improve your knowledge of the game. You can learn a lot by just watching live-streamers play League of Legends. You should focus on players that play the role you are trying to master or in your champion pool because this way you will gain insight into how these champions and roles work. If you watch pro-players stream you will feel more motivated to play and you may pick up some new tips. Another great thing about watching streamers is that they generally have a webcam set-up so you can see their playstyle in person. This is very helpful to learn what you need to improve on personally.

Improve Your Last Hitting and Trading in Solo Queue

Improving your trading is very important if you're trying to climb MMR. You should be able to get the last hit on every minion you can possibly reach. This will maximize your gold income per minute and help you buy better items in-game. According to the pentakill gamers at Goose Smurfs, your match making rating makes a lot of difference in the race to diamond Elo. By improving your trading you will have a higher chance of winning because of your increased gold income and stronger item purchases. It's also a good idea to practice last-hitting under the tower in case you are playing a champion that is weak to ganks. Improve your trading with the last hits and experience under the tower and this will help you climb MMR.

Play More Games Than You Lose

This will improve your MMR in the long term. The main thing you have to understand about League of Legends is that it takes time to improve and climb MMR. It is not realistic to expect to play 100 games and climb from Silver V to Master Tier. If you lose more than you win it's going to take a very long time to get out of the Elo division you are currently in. You have to understand that climbing MMR takes a lot of patience and perseverance but if anyone can do it, you can.

Improve Your Champion Pool and Find a Role You Like to Play

When you first start playing League of Legends it is very important to find something you like about the game and try out different roles and champions until you find one that suits your playstyle. For example, some players have fun when they play support while others prefer to play as the ADC. Improve your champion pool and find a role you like to play. Try out different champions in roles that you're interested in and figure out what type of role you like for yourself.

Improve Your Macro Gameplay While Adding Players to Improve Team Synergy

As any League of Legends player knows, improving synergy with your players is key to winning games. Improve your teamwork by communicating with each other on voice chat and talk about team compositions, what you have in common, and champion synergies. Improve your macro gameplay as a team by recognizing mechanical weaknesses or drafting synergies between champions that will give you an advantage in-game. Improve the synergy of your teammates and this will improve your chances of winning.
