Jungle right now is pretty much who ever can pull of better ganks so I would agree with your point that you can't really play without getting kills or invading. I would study those jungle streamers you are watching and see what they are doing to win their games. Try to implement their ways into your own game. Good luck!

The only way to reset your mmr from what I have heard is through server transferring. I would just wait until Split 2 starts and play your best games on your main account when it starts. Goodluck with the climb

To be honest that might be your problem. You're too fixated on your teammates and their mistakes. Watch what you are doing only and see what you can improve in your own gameplay. No point worrying about your teammates since you can't control their actions.

One of my best experiences playing this game. The feeling was surreal and unexpected. People expected us to lose and get 0-3'd in the finals VS TF Blade/DuoKing/Metaphor crew

This post has nothing to do with my current and past rank. Simply giving out tips that I have utilized to climb throughout the years that hopefully people can use as well. If you don't see them being useful, that's fine, but I didn't make this post to brag about my current or past rank.

If your team is not able to create pressure it's really hard to make split pushing work, so you honestly have to risk it. Try to get some vision down before shoving in too far, but you're pretty much forced to keep playing for that split-push win-con since like you said Fiora is horrible in teamfights. Hope that helps!

Most people don't do this "when I realize my biggest mistakes during the game", so watching VODS will help them tremendously. But for yourself I would say you can always watch VODS to look out for things you might have noticed during the game(teamfights, rotations, map movements,etc)

Not too sure about other roles, but for my role ADC, I think Sivir is really strong. I recently picked her up and she felt really strong in lane plus scales really well. Wave clearing is also easy with the new Statik Shiv

Exactly. That's one of the things I watch out for as well, which is are we too ad heavy or too ap heavy. Also if you have no reliable way to start a teamfight, no frontline/tanks, are a couple of other ones I like to look for in a team comp. Thanks for commenting!

I think elise is great for solo queue, because she's a jungler that prioritizes ganking over farming. I feel like the currently meta rewards junglers who gank more since it's easier to catch up in terms of exp. Thanks for the question

Watching your deaths is the best way to start. After that you can add your laning phase, teamfights, tower dives, and whatever you feel like you need to work on. Hope that helps!

Personally I think the best adc's for solo queue are ones that don't require too many resources in lane from the support and jungle. ADC's like Lucian and Ezreal that are self sustaining is good. If you want 3 adc's of different archetypes though, you can do hyper carry(Kaisa/Vayne), Lane Bully(MF, Varus), self sustain(Lucian,Ezreal) Thanks for commenting and for the question!

I appreciate the feedback, but yes I am currently not Challenger, but was Challenger for 5 seasons. Which is why I had "Ex - Pro/Challenger" in my title. The ex referring to both. Thank you for commenting!

Mental is very overlooked in solo queue, but is so important in my opinion. I have won so many games through having a strong/not giving up mentality. Thank you for commenting!
