Some random things I discovered for myself. Forgive me if it's general knowledge already. I'm still a bad player (silver 5).

1. You may or may not know this, but sometimes, when you have baron buff, taking a turret in another lane instead of a bare inhib is most likely the best way to do it. The reasoning behind this is that your minions won't be hindered in the bare inhib lane. While you pressure another turret in another lane, the enemy may defend it, and leave the bare inhib undefended to your minions. In case they decided to defend both, you can force a 4v5 at that turret, with baron buff to back you up. If they defend the inhib and leave the turret, well it's free gold and xp.

2. While playing as TF, rotate your cards and don't lock it in for it's duration. When you get closer to your enemy, they will most likely back off while it's rotating. Have fun freefarming as TF.

3. Don't be alone at bot lane around past 25 min. They will most likely hunt you, OR if your facing a team with actual brains, they will force a 4v5 at baron.

4. Mid assassins can't do shit when you push their lane hard into their tower. Best case will be their jungler will cover for them. If not, free tower.

Hey, you on a hot streak? Lemme give you some feeder teammates! 

It's your promo series? Im giving you a gold 5 capt who does not know how to duel at top lane!

Seriously. This isn't a challenge. It's a headache.

I'm defaulting to aram.

He's like a friggin' seesaw when it comes to balancing him. Reminds me of a bladesurging, true damage dealing top laner. His kit, like irelia makes him inherently powerful. He dedicates no resources to his sustain. I'm not mentioning the trollpool for the sake of my sanity.

Im starting to first pick support in ranked recently at subterranean silver tier, and somehow, had a 5 win streak as lulu. I just laughed when the enemy team instalocks vayne and sucks during laning due to poke. Seriously, supports are underrated down here, and chances are they will underestimate you from champ select. Also frees up those contested role picks by letting your team get the role they want.

Good mechanical skill is required when playing vayne. If you think it does not, you've obviously been playing stupid opponents. Furthermore the only time you worry about good mechanics(when its actually a deciding factor in your win) is when you are platinum++

Back to topic: you can play any adc in solo q, because well... its solo q. Anything is viable, within reason. Get the adc you are most familiar with.

ninjacalibur hit it dead on. Few games I struggle so much - losing streak. After that, the opponents become so stupid I could have won it blindfolded.

Beta TF's E.

I prefer to build it with some AD, like BT. It ridiculously multiplies the value of elder lizard when it comes to sneaking/contesting important neutral objectives.
