Trying to carry a bronze game is a waist of time

InfinitexMortal··2 votes·893 views

Get ezreal a double and yas a kill right off the bat and they are so incompetent and have no idea how to play the game that they just fall over. The enemy Illaoi didnt connect to the game till our darius was level 3 and she goes top level one and first bloods him and then he keeps feeding her. Ganked her got her to flash away with only half her health and he proceeds to wait till im back in jg to turret dive her...... Gank ezreal he kills vayne then i hold lux there letting him kill her (my dumb mistake shouldve taken everything). Then i ulti brand for our yas and let him take the kill to get him snowballing...he faceplanted..then they fed zac and brand would just hide under their turrets when i went in to gank bot and then lost all 3 lanes like idiots. I started to just get kills like i shouldve done in the first place since apparently my teamates had no idea how to even 1v1... and by then it was too late we lost all outer and inner turrets and top inhib jg was cleared by zac and my "teamates" ran around like clueless idiots not knowing how to defend a turret from even 1 person pushing.

darius 1/8 karma 0/5 ez 6/4 yasuo 3/11 and me as malph went 4/3 (3 deaths on good ganks pinged long before i got their that my bot lane just sat and watched both with full hp and mana)

And i know why riot lopsides the games and gives me complete bronze 5 idiots... My "MMR is not high enough for my current elo". So riot gives me a lopsided match with dumb teamates (the enemies were not good but better than their stupidity) so we lose and my mmr drops more so i get dumber teamates so my mmr drops more... its a catch 22.

Thinking i should just start a smurf account so i can actually place my true elo since my mmr is so fcked at this point since i jumped right into ranked not knowing what i was doing as soo as i hit level 30. Now i am way better at the game my mechanics are above pretty much everyone i am ever plaired with and most of the enemy teams' and i have studied ALOT to learn how to properly play the game and am proficient in every role. But my mmr is already so fcked that no matter how many winning streaks i go on it barely moves at all and so i am stuck playing with horrendous teams. So i guess ill be starting a smurf since that is the only way to get my true mmr at this point and play with people at my actual level. Not saying i am high teir but i am proficient enough at the game and know enough to place atleast mid sillver. ive played with other silvers before and can easily outplay them 1v1 so there is no reason for me to be stuck with the worst LOL has to offer

Just like learning manners and how to be respectful was a waste of time for you? You are bronze 4....Almost the lowest you can get. Go work on your gameplay instead of trying to insult players who care about their gaming and are trying to climb....Maybe you'll learn some manners later. Who knows? Kappa.

quite frankly I don't care what matters to you lol. You're the low life who people like us that want to climb dislike. You're bad at the game so you play with the non caring attitude that brings others down with you. :). I'm glad I'll probably never be in a game with you sir. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

The opinion of something like you does not matter in the slightest to someone like me. Grow up and stop crying. :)

The fact you feel the need to act superior over a video game you're not anywhere near good enough at to even slightly warrant it is… entirely sad and pathetic.

But hey. I learned you can't understand basic English either. That's sad. I said I don't care about Ranked. That's why I don't play it. Not that I play it uncaringly. I do care about the games I play so I actually bother with the normal games I play. Because I play just for fun

If its any consolation I did the same. I placed Silver on the new account. Came back to my low B5 account and climbed to B4 in 4 games.

Working my way through 30 levels and placements was a good reset for my mentality, and placing in Silver was the slight ego boost I needed to make those riskier plays that are now winning games.

Yes, I know placing Silver right out is neutral ground (game will filter you down to where you're "supposed" to be), but knowing I have a Silver account and was still winning/loosing games in it just as if it were a Bronze account just made me feel better all around and has made a huge difference on the Bronze one. It's a good tilt reset.

ETA: I also climbed those four games mostly as support. It can be done ;)

You sound toxic, you also sound like someone who is always willing to blame the person nearest to him.

Focus on your self and fix your mistakes before you worry about your team.

I have been and like i said im only positive in game and dont give up i keep trying cuz ive had crazy comebacks even when the nexus only had 1 hit left on it.. but its hard not to get irritated when it is a team focused game and feels like no matter how much i do i cant help the stuff they do. But youre right i do need to keep improving myself and fixing my errors

Time Magik3 votes

Just stay positive and you will climb, it will only take time.

you are in the lowest elo possible and wonder why your teammates are bad players?

InfinitexMortal1 votes

No i don't wonder why i know why I'm just saying at this point my wins make such a small adjustment to my mmr that I'm pretty stuck with them having to solo carry if i want any chance of a win

Same here in diamond :P LP gains are not significant enough to rise up

Made it to d4 one day and end up dropping to d5 0Lp on the verge of getting demoted

But they just like walk into your abilities and give you free kills. Its so easy.

From this quote i doubt youve ever played a bronze game in your life. Its more like you have to solo carry against a team taht works together and people that are really good at their champions while your team first times champs and runs in and feeds

I usually rank an account or two out every season actually. Although not super recently I will admit. I know my 2 alts were placed in bronze earlier this season, but with rank reset most people I played with were silver last season. Made winning a little harder, but my teammates were also slightly better. I did struggle some games, but ultimately its not too bad but bronze does force a unique style of play I feel.

Now maybe you are better than bronze and have learned a lot over the last season but your mmr is just making it difficult to rank up. With new season starting mmr you should be able to rank up much faster. At the same time though if you really deserve out of bronze then you should be able to obtain it even with low mmr.

Bronze forces a solo carry feel more than any other elo. When I play in bronze I just pick a champion I feel comfortable on and try my best in lane. Usually I notice my lane opponent is poor at dodging skill shots or is overly aggressive and usually I am able to punish them for it. Assuming its an average game and I get ahead in lane I just try to continue to farm/snowball that lane. Usually your opponent is poor at playing passive so you can usually pick up some kills. Although generally roaming a lot is not always good, I find myself roaming more in bronze than any other elo. Usually your other lanes need help and it gives you a chance to grab some additional kills. Also with bronze being lowest elo there are generally less wards and players have poor map awareness so roaming and sneaking up on the enemy is usually fairly easy.

Honestly your cs levels look pretty high for playing in bronze so I don't think you have to worry too much there. Not sure if this the case but just based on your cs/min I would think you usually have the most cs in your games which = more items and experience.

So now what do you do with your gold/item/level advantage? That part can be tricky as your teammates generally want to play aram or team death match. I usually focus on getting top or bot pushed out so minions start pushing towards the enemies turrets. Then look for an opportunity to join my team and grab some kills in the team death match. Assuming you don't lose too many casualties ping and try to get your teammates to help you push and grab a turret or two. Maybe dragon after. Or if it late game maybe grab baron (but people usually poor at calling when to baron in low elo). I mean shit... in my gold game last night my stupid teammates kept wanting to dragon or baron after we killed enemy team when really we could just grab free turrets and inhibs. Game lasted so much longer than it had to be.... was getting really annoying.

But yea honestly bronze games not too bad when you just stop and think for a second. Realize if you deserve a higher rank then play like it. Play like you know what you doing and assume the other people around you don't. Be aware of what your teammates are doing so you know who is strong and who is weak. Which ones may be willing to help you with objectives and which ones are worse than bots and there is not point in trying to communicate with them.

Read the enemy players. Are some of them fed? What are they doing with that lead? Is it a fed MasterYi who is now constantly diving your team 5v1? If its your typical low elo Yii then he probably is so don't sweat it. Wait for the next time he comes at your teammates alone, kill him, then force a fight or force taking objectives with your advantage.

One last thing to do in all elos, especially silver/bronze. DON'T OVERSTAY!. Honestly this is so bad in low silver and bronze. Your team gets an ace, pushes enemy base and grabs an inhib or two. Then what does your team do? THEY STAY AND KEEP FIGHTING THE ENEMY THAT IS RE SPAWNING, GET ACED AND POTENTIALLY THROW. So if this is something you currently do guess what? Your not doing that shit anymore. You are an improved player and you saying f that shiz. When you kill enemy players you want to grab as much as possible. But once they re spawn you have to leave. Go back and heal and buy w/e items you can with your new found gold. Ping your teammates back but honestly most of them will probably stay. Its the pain of playing in low elo but you just have to let them go. If you stay you will most likely just end up dying as well. If you stay alive at least someone will be up so they can't push to end or at least you can slow them down or potentially contest baron. So yea basically... overstaying is REALLY REALLY BAD and once you stop doing it you will find more late game wins.

Hope this helps.
