Though I don't mute anyone at all, that's so I can report people (if they are annoying) and sometimes laugh at people who talks nonsense like they know how to play the game, but the only contribution that they have, is to make the game harder to win.
I'm quite the opposite though. I'm just low diamond but I have 80-90% winrate on my friend's B5 account (I was shocked that he managed to get into B5 though). The 10-20% loss is due to AFKers/DCs/intentional feeders, but I usually try to take over the game as fast as possible, so my opponents will either rage and surrender/afk or I can just 1v5.
That's true though but then again, if they are like 5/5/5 and you're like 25/1/0, it's very likely that they'll honor you.
People suck from time to time, especially when they just start out. Like what Elbob said, just get a fullset of tier 2 runes and buy all the cheapest champs. Focus on what you like and you'll be getting good in no time!
Not last hitting is a bad idea, though it feels like you can get the gold in the next 15 seconds, think of it this way. If you just last hit properly, 1 minion every 15 seconds, you multiply your gold earned by 20%-30%~. A wave comes every 30 seconds with at least 6 minions (less the cannon), if you don't last hit, you will earn something like 40-50 gold? But if you don't miss, or just miss 1 minion, you'll be having something like 150-160.
Say 8mins later you hit lvl 6. You can either have 800 gold or you can have 2560 gold.
If champs that you use are getting banned, it's time for you to change to something else. I personally love banner morgana, I still love her (even after the banner rework which I hate). Below is a video, but basically, take TP, Doran's ring, max W first (make sure you cast W to hit at least 5 minions at once to maximise the usage), just push for gold and use E when you get ganked so you can just walk away.
Once your banner is up, only use it on cannon minions. You should be around lvl 6 (if you last hit properly), bait your opponent to attack you, so your cannon minion attacks him/her, run circles around your cannon minion and wait for your opponent to die. It works all the way up to diamond (that's for me).
