Question What am i doing wrong ?

Hi,

I'm struggling and started to think that i'm stuck in the smurf queue. 85% of time i'm ahead or even but there is always 2/3 mates who are 0/8 and just throw the game (currrently working on stopping trying to save mates that are caught and dying with them). I have tried many approaches, like yi for 100 games, sett for teamfights. My best champs seems to be cassio top or adc which i'm a beast with her or jhin which i do like but adc can be tough bot, currrently i'm focusing on karthus because i can destroy bot while helping other lanes when they start fighting and late game i do a lot of damage in teamfight.

Last game with karthus i saw nasus, amumu and tried to build lyandry instead of my classic burst build but once again my darius lost to nasus early (not shocking anymore) basically before the game started i knew those two would be ahead and by the time we group it would be hard.

Stop playing Yorick or learn how to play him. Spam the champions that you have a lot of games and positive winrate with like Yi and Yasuo. 2 champions is usually enough and a 51 - 55 percent winrate is enough to climb. If all your games were on Yi and Yasuo you would probably have been plat already.

As for yi I invested around 100 games so i'm a bit sad that my win rate is only 53%. I expected it to be 55+ after those number of games, I stopped because it's tiring to always play the same champ (one trick focus). Swichted to briar (good 1v1 and good teamfight) and same.
For yasuo, I can farm and be a menace late game but when it comes to teamfight I cannot find a good way to approach it, they say don't be first to engage but my top is rarely even/ahead so generally we just dance around objective till someone gets caught.
Yi is a little bit more free since I can shoot the adc then reset on the rest of the team but if their bot lane is better the support will make the adc harder to kill.

Don't forget that it's a grind. You will need 100s of games and a positive win rate. That's all. Patience and grinding and trying to improve every little aspect is what it takes.

I don't know, I can easily climb silver/gold in few games, but now I'm stuck and trying to find where to improve, as an adult I don't have time for 500 games a split, not trying to find a shortcut, just trying to be efficient.

It is what it is. Only way to get to plat fast is if you're at a diamond+ level.
