 Advice for players in Silver

 Morale:
 - Don't despair. You'll get to where you belong and learn along the way. 

 Awareness:
 - WATCH THE MINIMAP, never be past half the lane unless you are very sure of 
  where the enemy team is. If every game you end with more than 3-4 deaths work
  on keeping this number down. Specially if these deaths are you getting caught
  and not you dying valiantly during a team fight.
 - People in silver disregard the value of soaking. Don't be that person.
  Soak your lane and if the enemy is somewhere else fighting try to get your
  minions to their towers as fast as youcan so they lose a few minions worth of XP. 
  These add up and result in you getting to 10 earlier than the enemy. 
  DON'T GO PAST MID LANE unless you are certain is safe to do so.
 - Learn the maps and try to pick camps earlier in the game when they are the more
  impactful. In silver people do camps just when they don't know what else to do,
  like after an objective  which is the _worst_ time to get them. For example, in
  Cursed Hollow at the 2:00 mark head to your siege giants and get them so they push
  your enemies towers while you fight for the first tribute. If they get a tower or 
  two it usually means you'll get to 10 before they do. Almost every map has an very
  impactful moment when to pick a camp.

 Fights:
 - People in Silver _fight all the time_. They dive to towers trying to get a kill, if 
  they see a red mark in the map they will go for it. They don't think about enemies's 
  cooldowns or if they are outnumbered. Be ready to participate at all times, preferably
  after cleaning your lane.
 - Team fights in silver are chaotic. Positioning is usually bad, engages are not good 
  and people are hitting whatever is in front of them. Don't be that person, hit what 
  someone else is hitting in order to kill that target faster. FOLLOW UP. If an enemy dies
  faster than a teammate it will usually lead to you winning the fight. Make sure you fight
   efficiently by attacking whomever someone else is attacking.

 - Heroes
  So, there are 3 important qualities a heroe should have for you to punish usual silver
  mistakes and climb fast:
    - Wave clear
    - Ability to grab camps alone.
    - High burst/damage so you can kill something fast.

 I personally went from low silver (my lowest was demotion game from Silver 5 to
 Bronze 1!) to low plat using Greymane since he has all the qualities above
 mentioned practically from the start of the game. My recommendations would be:

  - Greymane
  - Gul'dan
  - Ragnaros
  - MAYBE: Kaelthas, Jaina, Butcher.
