I've got a question, I did my placements and got bronze 3, from last season from silver 3, I've been trying to get out of bronze but I can't really get out of it. Some games we win and then others my team mates just act like toddlers and flame everyone. Of course it's not only them, I'm not the best either but I was just wondering if anyone got tips for me?
(Sorry if wrong section for forums)
The lower ELO you are the more independent you need to be. If you start crying about your teammates making X mistakes then chances are you are too reliant on them to carry you. Forget what your team is doing, and focus on the errors you are making and try to improve yourself. You are the only constant variable in your games so don't stress about your teammates if you are trying to improve.
Take a deep breath. If you're on a losing streak, take a deep breath and do something else until you're in a better mood. Maybe even wait a day because we all have losing days. My best advise would honestly be to calm down and talk to your team mates. Like it or not, even in bronze, league is still a team game and you're unlikely to be able to solo carry with only a single division difference (high gold/low plat would be my best guess for being able to consistently solo carry but I could be wrong). Just talking to your team can go a long way, so long as you're nice about it. Keep them encouraged and give them tips IF you understand their position and how to improve that.
If you're looking to just climb period, there's also the given strategy. Pick a few easy to play champions for each row and really learn how to play them. Annie, lux, and amumu are all pretty good.
Listen to Red Rengo because he's right. Find what roles you are confident in and like to play, find your champs and learn your match ups. Figure out what you did wrong each game and what you can do better. I just played a couple of games on this acct yesterday and I will admit the level of play in the game was a little less than I am used to. It made games more frustrating because I saw more mistakes in my teammates, but I also saw more mistakes in the enemy. If i truly believe (and have proven a few times) that I am higher elo then bronze 3 then to rank up I am going to have to play like it. So I know going into games I can't expect much out of my team and if I am going to win I am going to have to try and carry. So it doesn't matter what elo you are if you believe you are truly better than that elo then you have to play your best and carry your team and if you can't figure what mistakes you made and continue to get better.
Just ask yourself. If Faker was in your position, would he be stuck in bronze? No, because he's a better player. Focus on improvement, not elo. Over time, rank will increase.
