Either you get caried out because your ennemies feed, or you can never get out because riot gives you the wrong teams so why not the fck scrap bronze altogether and just allow the right people to play ranked? It's completely stupid, it's fucking the game over

If you need your team to get out of bronze, then you dont deserve to get out of bronze.

Personally I've never been in bronze for more than 5-6 games at the start of the season after placements. Stop blaming everyone else and matchmaking and coming up with all of these crazy theories. Either you're better than the rank you're in, and you climb - Or you're not, and you don't. Stop with the conspiracies about riot "Fucking people over" - Bad games happen to everyone, on both sides of the map, from time to time. You'll climb if you're good enough to do so.

I've taken 4? 5? Accounts up to gold so far this season, and every single one of them I blew through bronze with no problem at all. Carried 4v5's, Carried games with hard feeding teammates(With 20+ deaths each) - If you don't belong there, you'll climb.

The point of bronze is to get really good at mental chess.

Not joking - in bronze your main enemy is your team, not the enemy team. You're not fighting the enemy, you're fighting tilt, A.D.D, and gamer fatigue (what I call "just not feeling the game right now") so your goal in bronze is to help to keep your team focused, motivated, and calm.

Try to give out really vague things to do (ex. "someone go top") that gets everyone to react (like, "someone go top" without fail send my entire freaking team up there, and I'm not even in Bronze anymore) until they start respecting your shotcalls enough they can listen to more advanced ones (ex. "Yi, go splitpush while the rest of us take dragon")

And if anyone starts raging at you for trying to shotcall, simply ask them "what's your plan then?" If they have one, great. Go with it. If it's a bad plan, everyone will stop listening to them and stick with your plan, and if it's a good plan, just let them plan. If they don't have a plan, reinforce that they need to follow your plan. If they just straight up refuse, they're gonna get reported for intentionally trolling the game at that point, because they're not working with the team and blatantly showing their refusal to in chat.

Or, you never set foot there because your normal MMR is not trash before playing rank.

Or, you are good enough to carry those games and get out even if placed there.

I've seen no account get consistently fed in all games and not be able to carry in bronze.

Personally, as a silver level player, it was pretty easy to climb out of bronze on a smurf. All I did was abuse champs like Garen and Darius so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bronze is a grinding place You keep playing on 50% winrate until you rank up , eventually you will rank up as long as you keep it 50% As a platinum level player I actually struggle carrying a Bronze level game unless I play some 1v5 champions
