Generic Post Complaining about Bronze.

So, I know I'm not plat. I know I'm not even Gold.

But when I play my placements, do not feed and maintain a 2.0 KDA with an 80% WIN RATE, I should not get bronze 5.

What's more, when I maintain a 70% win rate over 25 games, and only get promoted one division. Winning 2/3 games should me more than substantial for me to climb.

I've had two matches against people two full leagues ahead of mine. (One of which got me demoted BACK to bronze V that had a GOLD III in it.)

Let's also not forget that it just takes one teammate having an aneurysm in pick/ban to ruin the match. 1:3 times someone will ban someones pick and cause massive tilt. Or someone will just troll ban (sayyyy.....urgot?? when you said "Hey, please ban Ziggs.")

Oh, and god forbid someone actually uses team chat for ANYTHING besides flamming.

I know I'm not great at the game. But how is it that I can consistently do well, not flame, try to keep my team from flamming, stay supportive throughout the game, yet I still fall in elo?

Also, If I am BRONZE trying to climb elo, Should I not be facing people of a similar elo in ranked? After all, I'm not competing for Gold 2. I'm competing for Bronze 4/3.

And lastly, can we PLEASE get rid of fucking AUTOFILL IN RANKED. I'm not playing ranked to play a position I'm not my best at. I play champions and roles I know so I can ensure I do well for my team. Why the hell would you force me to support when my highest mastery support is mastery 3? Ranked is no longer about trying when you're in bronze. It is about getting lucky and not having trolls or toxics or first timers on your team.

Are you actually carrying the games or...?

Your mmr was very low after last season, it is close to fixed now. If you hold that 60% winrate for another 20 games you are going to start seeing 20 lp wins with <15 losses. You may even be able to skip if you streak enough.

Just maintain it and take your time with it... don't rush. I went at my own pace and climb a rank each season.

Season 3 leveled 1-30 got my runes/rune pages/champions and practiced with each champion so i knew what each one brought to the table.

Season 4 i placed bronze 3 or something so getting silver by the end of the season wasn't hard, just took my time and stopped playing for the day if i lost 2 games in a row ever.

Season 5 I went from silver to like high gold 5 using the same strategy of just going at my own pace. It also helps to find a few champions your good at and spam them.

Season 6 I got platinum

This season the goal is to get diamond.

You can do it, just gotta maintain your scores. As long as your winning more then your losing your going to climb. Also try and identify what it takes to reach the next ello and what players are doing differently in each ello... it helps you to improve yourself as you go. :D

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm heading back in. I'll get out of bronze this season somehow haha. Even if it means spamming Lissandra and Jhin.
