Averaging 4~6 matches a day maybe? Usually on the lower side. I skipped a few divisions though, and the only promos I failed were 2 for D4. Plat 5 -> Plat 3, Plat 3 -> Plat 1. And it was all solo queue.
I came out of promos 6-4 and I think I got into Diamond at like 40-15 or 35-10 or something stupid like that.
I duo queued a lot with friends in silver (Blaine and a few others) but didn't really get anywhere with it.
I don't really know, something just sort of clicked for me I guess? I don't really carry or anything like that, I'm not that mechanically skillful, I'm just decent at reading situations I suppose, and that's all that I've really needed.
Find what you're good at and stick to it. And I find a lot of people get stuck on the idea that they should be carrying their team or that they can carry better than other people - probably because of what the "pros" teach them - but I don't really like that mentality. I usually go into a game assuming that everyone else is better than me, even if they're doing worse than me in game. I don't pay as much attention to their mistakes, and I learn from them better while focusing on my own gameplay.
It's easy to get mad at someone else for doing something wrong, I do it all the time (*stares at sega ;P*). But it's certainly easier to just focus on my own mistakes and what I might have been able to do to improve and prevent their or my own mistakes from happening.
