If you take Throat's advice and cut down on the amount of information and do the visuals by yourself, I will correct your grammar.
I think I'll try to do that :)
I tried to read as much of it as I could. It's just waaaaaaaay too long. This is the internet don't expect to hold someones attention for an hour. I would suggest trimming this down by at least 50%. A lot of the information is useless even to novice players.

EDIT: In fact as I scrolled through the rest I noticed you left out one of the EASIEST ways to climb elo. Strategic dodging is an amazing way to win a lot of games. Are 2 of your lanes hard countered? Do you have 2 or more 'troll' or **** tier champions? Do you have double mid because nobody wanted to support? Are people already hard core raging at each other in champ select? If the answer to any of these questions is 'yes' you probably want to think about dodging so you only lose the 3LP instead of the 20 minutes and 20ish LP's you're going to forfeit anyway.
Yeah ... Apparently that's the flaw of my guide after the grammar. Also, I mentionned twice the strategic dodging :)

No, I'm saying 90% of this guide is fluff and the REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF is just mentioned in passing.
I could write a guide 25% as long as this and 100% more effective, because you talk psychology while I talk mechanics and game knowledge.
Plus, you're plat 2. Put this into use and get diamond 1 and I'll be impressed.
I know that for someone like you, most part of this guide are useless knowledge. But imagine for someone who are on silver/bronze or for someone who decide to begin ranked ? I must explain everything in details in my opinion.
Furthermore, I'm plat I, this guide is to climb up to plat, I've applied my guide and you can see my elo is climbing very well, no ? 200 elo on 2 week, by playing only a few days is not impressive ? I can't do a guide to climb to diamond cause I don't know what the diamond player look like. Else I would have done it.
If you can help me, I would love to do a compact guide of the important stuff.

Really decent job dude i found some hints that i might try like last hitting with annie,ryze.You can check my guides split pushing part which i think it'll be good to help you. Anyways thanks for making this guide.
Yet when reading comments i see you blame people who downvote or didnt vote even if the person didnt like it.You should respect the players comments thats why there is a comment section here.
I'm sorry to give this impression, it wasn't a will :( People who downvote for only reason that the guide isn't finished just got me a bit angry I guess. They don't know the value of a single downvote.
Although I agree overwhelmingly with your reasoning and explanations, the key issue to understanding why people enter Elo Hell and rarely leave for the rest of their season is indeed other players, but what they say and do isn't always the exact reason.
The real issue with other people you play with at low Elo or Tiers is that they hate to be wrong, (hence, they argue with reasoning or a bad play all game instead of trying to win) they tend to blame everyone else (especially if they make a very poor decision they choose not to move past) or they are just plain unskilled (Elo rankings do not help this - one bad game means your next one guarantees hard-to-carry team members in the broad sense).
Yes, Silver and up is not bad, but it can indeed be hard to advance to a truly matched level of ranking. This is why I think you should keep adding to this guide; it adds perspective.
That's true :) I focused myself so much on how to carry that I forgot to explain the problems :p
Is this a joke?
"Pick OP or broken champions, I'm a good ziggs but if I'm playing him I won't be able to carry my team. For example Kassa or Fizz are good example to pick at this moment."
This is just a blurb? This should be the line 1 item.
5 gajillion pages of just throwaway stuff until I reach what I'm looking for: Ahri carries harder than Heimerdinger.
I don't understand ? You are saying all the others thing are useless and pointing out one single tips I gave ? Or you're angry cause I mentionned that too late ?
your terrible grammar and lack of visual aides completely ruins this guide.
Well ... I understand ... I guess this is what who ruins the guide. If you can, you could correct my grammar :p Or anyone else.

You just haven't seen him post that much I guess. I've seen him upvote a few times, and I haven't been here for long. I may be wrong, and they may just have been him not downvoting, which is also rare.
Also math harder, you've been here since 2012. That's one year.
One year. Thanks!
