Why are people blaming their teams for not able to climb?

When bronze,silver is not hard and very easy to get to gold+ I mean if you play hundreds/thousands of games and hard stuck in silver/bronze, its cleary ur issue... Sure you can lose games from your team, and i got this experience too and you are not gonna get those 'shit team' everygame everyday. People who got to plat dia or challenger, they all faced those team and carried their ass thats why they are in high elo. You belong in where you belong

because its true, when you are only better than those around you by a little bit you need them to prove yourself better as you cant 1v5 like a challenger player can.

like you can still see that vayne running bot to solo split push at 40mins in when shes full build is a bonehead move, and ultimately she gets picked off and you're left in a 4v5 with no adc. theres nothing you can do about it but move onto the next game

because its true. because you ranking up from silver to plat is irrelevant and won't prove me anything. carrying 1v5 isn't a thing anymore as this game is more of a team game than it ever was, and you only climb when you're far better than your opponents. having a small advantage in lane and being slightly better than your rank won't make that much of a difference to let you win more games than you lose, unless you're willing to play hundreds and hundreds of games to pass up from diamond 5 to say diamond 4.

i'm moving away from this game just because i'm sick of not being the difference my team needs/should need. yeah its true, one game you get a good team, one game you get a bad team and so on but what will that help you if it's just an endless loop of winning and losing lp

it only takes 1 game every 5 games to prevent promotion.

In my personal opinion, silver and bronze are people who "Come to a competitive gamemode, and have no clue how to be competitive". You simply cannot lose to these sort of people if you want to be competitive. It really puzzles me how silvers and bronzies complain so hard about their current placements. There is just so MUCH to abuse the hell out of your enemies. Watch streams and videos replays, get good by learning. Not by grinding games, you will just repeat your mistakes.

I opened my smurf account and I cant help but notice some really wierd stuff happening there. In silver lol

Junglers who stop farming for a whole 10 mins. Less than 3 cs per min. And gets outscaled by more than 3 levels. Midlaners who do not control river vision. FULL AP/AD clickbait whatsoevers.

It is just cute. How these people think they are...well, "Competitive".

I disagree a bit. Sometimes the struggle gets real as fuck, man. Getting to the elo you belong in isn't something that just happens because you're "supposed to be there".

I WILL say that you CAN improve your ability to climb. Last year it took me the entire ranked season to land Diamond...basically around 1k games or so. This year I landed Diamond at 300 games. Definitely took a bit of pride in improving my ability to climb the ladder.

That said, I will also say that as you near the elo you're "supposed" to be in, your ability to stomp and climb quickly diminishes, and that's where that elo hell comes from. Being a few smudges better than the rest is enough to climb, but not enough to climb quickly. For example: My ranked goal this season was Diamond 3. Took me longer to make 2 more divisions in Diamond (including demoting out of it for a small bit) than it took to get back into Diamond in the first place. In that process, I had a ton of games, and yeah, there's a lot of throws/feeders/whatever in those games. For people that don't know how to play like a Plat+ player, low elo games probably suck some serious shit. Even if they play a bit better, doesn't mean their 2/10 Rengar top lane knows.

It's not easy to climb gold+. It's not easy to even climb out of bronze.

People have different lives, worries, responsibilities and can invest different amount of times in the game. Also the learning curve on league have many traps that can lead a player that invest 1000 hours to not improve after a certain point because of a wrong mind set.

Of course, for ME, would not be a problem to climb out of those elos because of how invested i am playing league and how invested i was before on others games.

Playing league well and fast have a lot to do with transferable skills too. I was good at dota before i therefore i have an easier time playing league than someone that see league as their first moba.

The point is: You are right, many people blame others and create excuses to why they don't climb, but a huge portion are just people in the dark and we should not feel proud to be the only ones that invested 1000 hours to have a lantern in our hands. In the end of the day we invested more than it looks like to know how the things we know and have the practice we have.

The problem is you have to crush your lane, but I play akali, it's hard to crush an oriana, or malz, so if they pick a champ like that (and they do most of the time) I cant destroy lane hard enough to overcome the bot lanes that make the enemy draven, twitch or vayne 5 0 before 10 min.......
