Bronze V is a place where dreams go to die. ─ I've only been playing the game about 4 months, and I started playing ranked about 2 weeks ago today. I'll lose an honest game every now and then, and sometimes I'll get lucky and make it to Bronze IV, but as soon as I get that promotion I somehow get stuck in games where people AFK or rage quit. My time in Bronze has been the most frustrating part of the game yet, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I didn't play ranked for the longest time because I had FPS and lag issues. Now that I've had stable FPS for a I'm wishing that I hadn't.

Two games in a row now someone has gone AFK and rage quit. This last game my JG insulted my SUPP, my Supp called us all elitists and then dropped from the game. Is it just me having bad luck, or is it like this for everyone? ─ I started in Bronze III, but my machine was still lagging then. Now that I have stable FPS I can't seem to get ahead. It makes me want to level a new account to 30 and start fresh, because people in Bronze don't seem to give a flying ****.

─ Oh, look: the new client lagged out while I was typing this, and I now have a 30-minute dodge timer. Go figure. Good. I needed a break anyway.

Honestly I get what you are saying, Bronze is pretty bad, I have been Silver for these past 2 years and reached gold mmr after S6 ended and played a bunch of ranked games before season 7 officially started. Once it started placements I had won 7 games in a row and then lost the last 3 and got placed in Bronze sadly.

Luckily it was only bronze 3 so I can get out easily, but lately in even bronze 3 I am seeing all the afks and feeders.

Getting out of bronze really depends if you have a good duo or you can carry by yourself.

I can easily get back into silver, but it seems like you are actually a fairly decent player, if you are interested I can duo with you, and help you get out of Bronze lol

I am a Jungle/Top Main btw

Today I lost a game going into the 30-minute marker with 8/0/4. A few minutes later after begging my team to group up, my team told me to "shut up," reminded me that they were going to do what they wanted to do, and that they wouldn't group mid. It's hard to carry a game when your team won't cluster. I wound up with a loss at 13/6/8. The deaths started racking up when I tried to fight the whole enemy team with my support. All I asked was that we group mid and they help peel and CC so I didn't die. 2 went top, 1 went bottom, and my support and I were left to fend for ourselves.

Statistically I probably belong in Silver, but a "Silver" ADC carrying a whole game with just his support? ─ Yeah, maybe a Diamond player. Definitely not me. LOL!!! I'm a team player, and a lot of these Bronze-o's just don't believe in teamwork. How hard is it to understand that if you cluster and let your ADC go to work and do his job you have a better chance of winning? Bronze 4 Lyfe.

5v2? Bring it on.
