So im tired actually cuz I stuck in b1 for a long time. Im on lose streak; not of my bad obviously. Okay, maybe 5% of games were losing of my bad. But that's all. Warning! A typical bronze sentence incoming!!!1 I deserve a better teammates (ofc I know it's impossible). Seriously. I just compare how Im playing and how my teamates are and I see a big difference. Im always focusing on a game, ignore spam on chat, ward everytime when possible, checking a map whole game, not chasing, taking objectives, have good micro game (i won lane phase in around 90% of matches), I try to roam when possible, always buying items depends on teamcomps (both) etc. Do I need to play like a Faker to leave just a bronze? Cmon, u can't carre matches when u have a typical bronzie botlane (btw. my last 4 games I lost cuz of fact our botlane get destroyed; literally). Last season I was silver, but I dont think I will leave even bronze in our lovely s7 lul. I ask serious question to u guysso I want a serious answer aswell from u. What Im doing wrong cuz I cant notice this. It's not complaining actually, I just ask for advice from more experienced ppls. I ignore insignificant answers "U are shiet brah so dont win games simple lal", "Play better noob"

Well, you seem to like Illaoi, but you die too often with almost every champ. Looking at your stats, you're very inconsistent, getting lots of kills in one game and lots of deaths in another. I can't say for sure, but it seems like you're very emotional, and you snowball badly when you're losing. Also, a game with Illaoi where you bought 5 Mobi Boots...never troll. Stay calm.

My honest suggestion is to learn to Jungle, and learn it well. If you really want to impact the game, Top is not the best lane currently. Top is like an island that everyone ignores for the first 20 minutes of the game unless one side is dominating. Jungle allows you to impact every lane, to help feed the champs who will carry the game, and to help slow the enemies who will carry the other team.

In Season 6, I learned Jungle and climbed from Silver to Gold almost entirely through the Jungle. When I finally decided to do it, I had a 40% winrate and felt permanently stuck in Silver V. I practiced like mad, and climbed to Gold using Zac Jungle.

When I climbed from Bronze to Silver back in S4 or S5, I did it with Galio Mid. Back then, though, Mid had a huge impact because mages were really strong, and Galio is an anti-mage tank, so he was the perfect counter choice for the meta of that day.

In my opinion, impacting each lane is the best way to climb. I go Jungle/Mid when I play now, because those two lanes still have the biggest impact if you play them well. I played Top a lot in S6, but near the end of the season it felt like Top suddenly lost importance, so I switched to Mid as secondary role. Regardless, it was the Jungle that helped me climb.

Also, I don't know what it's like on your server, but in NA East I have much more success in Flex than Solo/Duo. I made it to Silver III in Solo/Duo, and then got thrown back to Silver V and can't seem to climb anymore. In Flex, I somehow started in Bronze IV, but I'm already in Silver V and in promos for Silver IV as I type and it hasn't taken many games to get there. Try Flex queue instead of Solo, and see how it goes. Learn the Jungle, but ultimately focus on dying less and being more consistent across games.

Something about season 7. I could have climbed out of Bronze with relative easy last season. This season however, it's fuckin near impossible to carry these garbage teams I commonly get. The changes between last season and now, I think geared the game less in the direction of the solo carry paradigm and made it more team dependent. And while it may be a good direction in very high elo and pro play, I think Riot completely forgot that a vast majority of players in lower elos are idiots that feed like crazy. We need to be able to solo carry more effectively. Season 5 was the perfect example of time when solo carrying was THE thing. Not this bullshit we have today where we have to pray the enemy team has less idiots than yours.

If you're seriously trying to get better, you can watch a few coaching sessions from this guy on his YT page or check his stream, but here's a video he made that helped me considerably; fair warning, he gives scathing criticisms but knows what he's talking about,

Win your lane --> Help other lanes --> Ward --> Push --> Retreat --> Push --> Ward --> Push --> Win.

There are 10 players in a game. As so, you can be the decisive factor in only 10% of the games, and if it is your fault for losses 5% of the times, then you are in the correct position, multiplying this percentage by 10 you must get less than 50% in order to climb.

Also, in low elo (silver/bronze), people tend not to see their own big mistakes and underestimate their whoopsies, don't know if it is your case, but try always to apologize for those moments and keep a positive attitude and this will surely increase your win %.
