TBH I learned alot by soloQing.
It was easy for me to get to ~1650, after that people get very serious about the losses and you see the emotions rising.
The argument starts at the picking phase, game will often be lost there because this will go on during the game.
I like to play support, this is the factor that iritates players the most, playing a perfect support is so important to keep your team calm.
Long story short, play a babysitter and calm all the kiddos and try to call the pushes etc to play like a team, this gives you the edge.
Still like I said I was strugling to get past the 1690 by soloQing, now im at 1750 and have no problem maintaining it, feels like a different game in here..
This is a point where you can carry / mid if you get 1600 players in your team or support when you get 1800s or similair MMR players.
Playing a strong support changes the game

/forgot to mention Lado from above boosted me from 1720 -> 1750, this was a big and slow gap for me which he filled in one night
