I've been long a time in silver and bronze, every time I've been best team player, carried my team hard and my other team just feeds enemies which is kinda annoying. I'm tired of LOL matchmaking system and at the moment it should get developed!

Nope. I'd say I hard carry 1 game in 10-15. You'll win a lot, lot, lot more by learning the skill of 'allowing yourself to be carried' and being an effective team player.

I don't think you've ever played in Silver, lmao. There is no such thing as "getting carried". You either carry, or lose.

5 people on each team, all have relatively similar mmrs. Yea if you're well below your true elo you can easily carry 90% of games. If you're there, a true carry style will carry like, 25-30%.

Also I very recently have, working a second account into ranked so I can learn adc without dropping 2 tiers, and the method works perfectly even in a carry role. Dear God, I wish that my lower elo adcs (when I main role as supp) would sit down and let me carry them.

You've also got to learn how to be carried. Some games you just aren't going to hard carry yourself (unless you are a diamond+ smurf) and in those games you've got to put yourself in a position where your teammates can carry you.

Basically have to hard carry, one way or another.

Tell jokes in the pick lobby. Endear yourself to your teammates. When you ask something of them in the actual game they are more likely to listen to you. I'm not even good at the game and that is how I win games. I get my teammates to like me and then ask them to do stuff. Then I reward them in some way when they listen to me. Gank my lane and I let you take some CS or I tank for you at dragon. Sacrifice yourself to save a teammate and I point it out to everyone else on the team and ask what item I can buy to help him out the best. My sexuality may be my preferred weapon of choice but I add a healthy dose of positive reinforcement and likeability to my tool kit.

in Low elo it is essential that you are on a hard carry champ, in a high impact lane (mid, Jungle). You need to put the game into your own hands and not rely on anyone to do the job for you.

In higher elo where players are more capable you dont have to be so selfish in game, and can count on other teammates... sometimes.

The entire theme of this season was, which brain dead champ can carry harder. You need to be on someone mobile, with high damage output and end the games around 20 minutes.
