bronze is too hard to escape

i feel winning gains too little LP, losing removes too much..

losing happens too often due to uncontrollable reasons, removing LP for unfair losses,

usually a one or combination of the following: trolls, throws, afks, d/cs, ping spikes, jg w/ no smite, no ganks, toxic lanes, zero teamwork, or "inactivity" punishment if you happen to make it to promos, etc,

or even getting to 99LP and having to win another match to get promos makes it harder..

it sucks the fun out of playing, i rarely get fair games, losing LP in a fair game does not bother me, but losing LP, and so much of it due to consistent unfair games is very discouraging

anyone else feel stuck in bronze hell?

Stop playing ranked, start playing regulars... you will find the games will be much more enjoyable.

Bronze isn't impossible to climb out of. It's arguably a little more difficult now than it used to be seasons ago, but it is certainly still doable to get out even if you're not a Gold or higher smurf.

Take it from me. You can even look at my op.gg as proof that I was a hardstuck Bronzie for multiple seasons in a row. However, unlike the vast majority of dickhead high elo players who play this game I'm not going to shove "get good" down your throat. I will simply say that it is possible for you to improve and get better at the game and as you get better you will eventually be good enough to climb out of Bronze on your own and be able to impact/carry games where it counts. Different roles are a bit easier to do this with than others, depending on the patch and current meta, so the pace will not always be the same, but the end result will be.

League of Legends is not an easy game to master. The overwhelming majority of Gold and higher players very quickly forget this fact because they've already learned the game past a certain point. It's like a bunch of Calc 3 students being condescending towards the struggling College Algebra student who's frustrated that haven't passed the class yet. Like, good for you guys, you passed the class, you grasped the material and got to higher levels. It's no excuse to be unhelpful.

There are resources out there for players like you that feel hardstuck to help you learn what you need to get better at the game. Go to YouTube and search for things like LeagueCraft 101. Look up coaching vids for champions you enjoy playing and want to play in ranked from reputable players like NEACE, LS, and the like. Utilize the information you can get from places like Probuilds.net, champion.gg, mobalytics, etc.

I've been there. I once got to Bronze 1 only to fall to Bronze 5 0LP. And yet I clawed my way back up from that into Silver. I hope I can eventually climb to Gold or even Plat so that I can start coaching and helping more players like you that most of the community tends to leave behind. Sometimes people just need a helping hand, but so few are willing to lift a finger.
