How do I get out of bronze

MRS42·8/25/2016, 10:01:58 PM·1 votes·808 views

How am i still only in Bronze IV. I play pretty much only vel'koz, whom I have 68% win rate and 3.7:1 average kd, and am lvl 7 mastery with. My pick for when i play top, is Darius, or Irelia, who I have 83% and 50% win rates with, yet im currently at around 30 LP, Bronze IV. Does anybody have any tips, tricks, etc. to help me get out of this league that i dont think i deserve to be in. I get first blood and turret almost every game, etc. (All percentages and kd ratios are from the last 25 days)

Play champs that take turrets well. Kills don't win games, objectives do

I'd say you're just getting unlucky. Odds are your skill level is a lot higher than your rank, because ranks don't really matter that much.

Itsimpossible to have a winrate of 68-80%and not climb. So wherever your getting your stats from is wrong or you are looking at normal games where people tend no to care,troll, or are learning champs

The only thing I can think of is your mmr must be horrid and you lost every game before you picked up velkoz, cause you should be on your way to gold with that win rate.

If you stay at 60%+ your mmr will get better and you'll start climbing rapidly

I'm unsure as to why you aren't any higher. Your MMR is fine according to Op.gg, and you win rates with Vel is pretty good. I would suggest just spamming him mid and top and to stop playing irelia in ranked game until you get to know her a little better.

But if you keep your Velkoz winrates the way they are yo could reach silver by the end of the season easily.

EDIT: I checked your runes and Masteries.

Your masteries for Vel'Koz are the good ones. So nothing bad there, but you really need to save some IP up and get your rune page up to date.

Get 3 AP quints, 9 Magic pen reds, 9 flat armor yellows and 9 flat MR blues. Its the standard for squishy AP champs mid. You can branch off of that eventually when you get more, but I'm sure it would help you to have proper runes.

Prayer. Lots of prayer. Its the only way to get out of bronze. And silver for that matter. :P

I made a post about what I learned to get out. You can check it out here.

i dont think i deserve to be in

I was EXACTLY where you are, not even a good 3 months ago I was there. Trust me, if you're struggling there, it is because you belong there. It's easy to believe that you're stuck there because of your teams but its not. I only understood this when I got into Silver and played there for a bit and went back smurfing Bronze on another account. I could carry in B5/B4 with ease now.

That being said, I had a look at your matchlist. You have a couple of massive win streaks and you win a fair amount of games in general. I don't see the problem. Based on that, I could tell you that you're on your way to Silver as long as you keep that up. It's just gonna take a little longer than you expect.

Oh, another great tower destroying midlaner is ziggs and maybe orianna..I'm not sure if ori's passive works on towers.
