To have a higher chance of getting into high division you can play duo with someone with gold MMR or higher. After first 10 games you can't get higher than plat II.
When I was playing on my brother (who has never played ranked games before) after 2 won ranked I was playing against gold III...
To cheer you up I'll admit that some day I've lost 18 ranked games in a row (was in silver II then). After 7 lost games we stopped getting frustrated, we got used to. My MMR was crashed, now I'm back and I win 3 out of 4 games (gold I now, heading for plat before season ends) :)
In my opinion all new released champions should be unable to pick in ranked queue for the first week. Jinx is too OP she gives advantage to the players who literally can't play. Each game when I'm playing against her my lanemate dies constantly (doesn't matter if he's support or adc) even if...
I haven't watched Royal a lot, only their semifinals and they were close games (but from tactical point of view they were very good).
Usually when I was watching SKT they were dominating in each game and they were consequently keeping pressure on enemies and their teamfights were just too...
Good that not Plastic X :o

Your placement also depends on your MMR. If it was low you got weak players during your placement and server decided that you played good enough to be placed in bronze I then. How many games have you won?
ATM I main Marksman but seldom I have to support - if they leave me Sona, that's good, if they take Sona it's lost. 20-6 with Sona 1.8/4.2/16.6 per game.
I would also suggest:
http://www.probuilds.net - to see how pro players build your fav champs
http://op.gg/mmr - to check your MMR from Ranked Games
http://www.lolskill.net/ - I found it yesterday but I don't get everything from there (i.e. SkillScore)
As it was mentioned before...
Imo it's not that easy to kill Karthus. He has insane range with his Q so he can freely farm even when he's staying most of the time under turret. Thanks to his ult he can support his teammates early and if your enemy leaves your lane you can push in a second and gank other lane.
Imo poke/split push team. Seems legit especially in Silver IV where. If Blitz could grab his teammates he'd be most hated (of course by his team) champion in Silver.
I don't know why Jarvan IV was listed as an underplayed champion. He's picked almost every game and (even only after LCS) everyone know how to fight him. Fizz is picked often (EUW) because he can easily snowball game. When you get around 2 kills you can carry your team hard and it doesn't matter...
It's good to have champion with strong early-mid so he will stomp his lane and opponents will have to focus on Nidalee instead of other lanes. Then i.e. your jungler can focus on counterjungling/helping other lanes that scale better during late game. If you have only late game team you won't win...
AD Nidalee (Counter-Bruiser) can build a lot of things depending on the enemy team and still she'll snowball you. Start depends on enemy team (Cloth Armor/Boots/Doran's Blade/Flask). Later, depending on how are you going (probably you'll be stomping your enemy) try going Trinity Force/Spirit...
You mean that after 75 won ranked games this player is in platinum? In previous season he could be high gold/plat and he just played first 10 games enough good to be placed in platinum. Then he didn't have to play a lot to be in plat ;)
