How to carry in low ELO?

Hi guys,

So about 2 years ago I decided to uninstall the game because all enjoyment has gone from it. I have recently got back into as I have a new gaming PC. After playing my placement games I just remembered why I uninstalled the game... Everyone in low ELO is shit!

I'm bored of the game already. I won 1 game out of 10. Most of the time my bot lane just feeds and everyone just roams where the hell they want and getting caught out.

So my question is, how can I get out of this nightmare league before I decide to uninstall the game again?

If you want the "Dummies Guide to Carrying Games" it is pretty much this:

Farm, powerspike, apply map pressure, snowball your lead, take an inhib, take baron, take all 3 inhibs, wait for minions to win.

Sometimes teams will be so bad that you can't carry, but if you aren't winning 75%+ of games below gold with this then you need to improve your personal skills.

Dont die when ur ahead. If you are 21/11 you are not carrying. If you are 21/0 you are carrying. The comeback bounty is insane. 1k gold for dying if you carry. This is why if you are ahead and you die alot YOU are the actual cause of enemy team being fed. That 1/15 morde is worth less than a minion creep. But being 25/15? You gave away thousands of gold to enemy carry over those 15 deaths. Clowns in low elo dont understand this concept and the just scapegoat the guy with lowest score.

The biggest thing, imo? Realize you're not the carry. Don't keep trying to be the carry, keep trying to win.

Which lane and champs are you the most comfortable with?

I would say my better ones are Yasuo, Zed and Kayn

Okay few pointers:

Let's say your top picks Darius and JG picks yi, avoid choosing an AD champ because on top of your ADC chances are the enemy will just stack armor and smack you late-game.
Don't underestimate how powerful is against a comp with so much healing, think etc.
Potions exist! I never thought I needed them until I reached silver, now I regret every time I didn't buy one and it occasionally cost the game.
Buy. your. damn. control. wards.
You have no idea how easy it is to roam top bot or top if the enemy is overextending, they are literally begging to be killed. Just be careful it's not a bait or intentional to win a 2v1 *cough cough *
If your JG isn't taking objectives, be the leader and call to kill it. Solo if you can, they are stupidly strong and necessary to win.
Don't blindly go for a "casual build", always buy according to the enemy team's comp: etc

I would play with you but I'm in my promos to gold atm so maybe after that :p tbh I kinda miss the b5 days haha

Hate to break it to you, but feeding is not an elo thing, it's a League thing. If you think there is some magical elo where no one feeds, you're in for one hell of a disappointment.
