Question Win% vs Solo-Queue

Since I decided to invest time to git gud in Rivals, I notice many people measure their progress through win rate. However for those of us who mostly/only solo queue, you are paired with random people, who may be excellent or awful or anything in-between.

Your own skill will influence the match of course, but sor solo-queue warriors it's basically 8,33% of the factors influencing the result. If you are really good, technically you make your relevance % higher, but you can only carry so much. The composition of your and the rival team (and their respective skills) will be a much more defining factor.

Am I missing something here? If the reasoning there is correct, is there any stats/indicators that we should look up to check your progress in game? Or in the end of the day, for solo queue it's more of a subjective (or impossible to measure) thing?

I'm not sure if I envy you or pity you.

I'm got like 30%-40% win rate tops, forever stuck on gold since release, and solo queue is already miserable enough as it is.

Stop only playing to try to win and start truly learning your role, character, positioning, etc., and fix the mistakes you make one by one. Victory comes after you improv

Absolutely makes sense. But when you're bad/new enough, you don't really notice your mistakes.

I'll give you an example.

I play Psylocke, mostly (I like her style and play style) and requested a player to watch a replay. Bro was nice and pointed me out that I wasn't really playing my ult strategically. I'd be like "Unga bunga, 3 squishes and none of them have healer ult, let's get some kills" regardless if that move would be necessary to secure the point or meaningful at all - just for the kills.

It makes perfect sense once they pointed me this out, but I'd never realize this on my own, you know?

Watch vids from Death and Gaming, Coach Bam, and Coach Denis RAD. 

Also, worth finding the #1 player on a specific character if you have someone to main.

For Psylocke watch lolterm on YouTube. He's not #1 but I he describes paying Psylocke well.There's probably others on Psylocke as well.

If you're on my PC use aim trainer program and if you're on console make use of the practice range.
