Reason why bronze is unescapable WITH LP CLAMPING

so people i wanna show you how unfair and annoying it is to be on LP clamping and then entering a game with feeders which happends most of the time. I was playing this game as bot and my team decided that they should act stupid and break the meta this zac was building AP instead of tank and the sion was also trolling suiciding under the turret and feeding. Then he left bottom lane and i was alone bot for a while trying to defend off of two people,the yasuo was also trolling i mean LOOK at hes build building talisman of acension and said he was trying to build AP feeding hard about 0/17.basically all my team was trolls. i won like 7 games having 84 LP. while on LP clamping gaining 12 per win and when i lost like 3 games i was brought at like 32 LP. i know LP clamping is to make sure you dont win by luck and deserve it but come on this is ridiculas. Is not fair playing hard all those games then being brought down by trolls and feeders many of you people will say WHY DONT you carry??? but you cant carry An entire feeding team. Also autofill is just pissing me off, every time i get assigned support i hate it because you cant carry and your at the mercy of your team to carry on the game then lose ANOTHER -32 LP when you only get 12 per win. i will not share a link to the players states in the game because the comunity boards says not too. riot PLEASE i been playing too long on this LP clamping.

LP losses/gains depend on your mmr compared to the expected mmr for the division you're in.

If you're winning >50% of the time, your mmr will climb, and even if right now winning say, 55% of the time would actually net lose you LP, eventually your MMR would recover so that yyour LP gains=LP losses, and then winning 55% of the time would result in you climbing. If you continued to maintain a >50% winrate, your MMR would continue to increase, and eventually you'd start gaining even more LP for wins than you lose from losses (so for a little while, you could even start losing more than winning but climb anyway).

If you're winning <50% of the time, the problem lies with you. Theres 5 potential feeders/AFKs on the enemy team, and only 4 on yours (assuming you don't do those things), so on average you'll benefit from those kinds of players more than you lose because of them.

Best advice ever. I'm gold, but I played one game with a bronze III friend seasons back. Easiest game I ever played. I was so surprised at how bad they all were. It was easier than playing vs bots.

You don't need to carry every game, and you're not expected to. You're just not going to get a full feeding team every match, and more often the enemy team will be feeding, so it's about long term inching upwards as long as you're not actually dragging the team down.

Never heard the term "clamping" in the three seasons I've played.

You're not gaining enough LP because your mmr is poor, and that goes up when you start winning consistantly. The system acknowledges you don't belong in the ELO (both upwards or downwards) and shifts your mmr accordingly, allowing you to either climb or fall faster.

There is no valid excuse for people on your team bringing you down, or even up. Every player in your ELO has an equal chance of having those players on your team, and tons are still able to climb, or fall, to where they should be.
