This isn't going to be one of those "I don't deserve to be in Bronze" posts, because honestly I'm quite fitting where I am right now. But in the event that I do get better (hopefully), how hard is it for me to climb my way to Silver as a soloque-er?

It seems with all the trolls and just bad luck in general I'll be hardsuck in the same general rank.

Personally for me , getting out of bronze was a pain in the ass. If you are struggling, i suggest you duo with a friend who is reliable and good at the game, who is in a higher league.

Yes. Bronze is full of players who just don't care to try and expect someone else to do all the work for them. It's full of people trying new things, people who just want to troll, people who afk at the first sign of difficulty.

So, you just have to be the one 100% guaranteed person in every match who does none of those things and obtain a 50%+ win rate to get out of that bucket of lobsters.

If you're better than bronze then no not really, the amount of games with trolls is far lower than normal games.

Iron and Bronze aren't that bad once you know what to do. Silver is much harder because you will face one or two people on the enemy team good enough to snowball and carry if your team feeds.

Getting out of bronze is hell... People must have really good luck when they say its easy if you are better then bronze. I had been trying for years, I finally got out of bronze into silver, the the new season came and I am back in it, and have been struggling like hell to even get out of bronze 3. Which take note I was placed bronze 3, back in season 3 fresh account lvl 30 going into ranked. Here I am seasons later back where I started and stuck. So to be honest from my perspective if you are lucky you will climb.

It's a coin flip really. Unless you've somehow mastered the game mechanics to a higher elo way beyond Bronze like Diamond you really do need to rely on team to not be toxic, afking, or feeding. I've literally had times I've played perfectly for 10 or so games winning them all and thinking I'm actually going to get out of Bronze only to end up falling just as hard with teams that either bicker over every flaw or trying something off-meta like Lux jungle or recently Mordekaiser ADC.
