I'm not on the NA server, so I can help you in that respect, but what I can tell you is this:
Do not play ranked until you feel like you have possession of a level of play where you feel that you are ready. "I guess I could win", "I think I'm ready" isn't gonna work. I think a nice rule of thumb is to have around 500 normal wins in your bag before beginning with ranked games.
Another useful side note: You should train playing ranked by playing normal games in Draft Mode - this will make you be able to play on a more competitive level. In Blind Pick you'll often meet troll pickers, throwers, or generally people who play for fun (Which there of course is nothing wrong with in normal games), whereas you need to find people who want to win. This way, you'll also get used to banning certain champions, and so on.
- Just make sure that when you face the many ragers, that you do not turn into them. There's nothing worse than a blamer/rager/flamer in ranked games. Raging only decreased the team's morale, it doesn't make them play better.
If you need to know anything specific in terms of how to play a certain role or champion, just send me a PM ^^ I, personally, have about 1300 normal wins or so, meaning I have plenty of experience to guide you from :)

I usually blame the team ( including myself). I always look at my play though and see how i can improve. Always look at myself and see what I did wrong. Take the notes improve,g et better. Also I try to help those who will take my advice.

its solo queue. NEVER blame them or flame. They will not improve, and u will prolly not meet them again. Don't waste time on writing something pointless.
Instead of writing "YOU SUCK" u can get 2 CS or keep calm (which improves your gameplay actually).
YOU are almost always able to carry.
Even tho it seems carrying 4vs5 or carrying 0/10 is impossible, its not. It is possible, just look at people with 2.5k ELO who are smurfing and getting to the same elo withing 100 matches. You think its luck? Its 100% skill.
They are simply good enough to win 90% matches up to 2000 with their awesome skill and knowledge of the mechanics of the game.
Always try hard. ALWAYS.
Improve yourself, dont try to improve your team - that awesome quite is mine. Instalock lulu said it. Thanks.

i guess I could have explained my self better what i meant by blaming the team. Is we as a team could have done better. Of course at the end of the match I wouldn't say "YOu guys suck" or "Noobs" or anything similar or related to that. Always end the game with a GG or GG WP. I am the hardest critic on my self. But it does take a team effort to be good at this game so its just not always you but other involved with the loss. It happens. If some asks for help and I know how to fix I will say here is what I'd do. DO they need to take it. No. But I always look for someone to give me advice. Never hurts to go and ask for help. It makes you better.
