First off i am in elo hell and have been since preseason 6 (due to lack of ranked games but normals are the same type in elo hell)

  1. roaming all game
  2. everyone play op champs and arent good on them
  3. lack of vision
  4. chasing with lack of vision
  5. no objective control (i've played games where my team(minus me) warded baron and drag like 4 times all game)

how to get our of bronze

  1. play champs your good at even if they arent strong (i dont play jinx and shes op right now)
  2. dont follow when they roam (take the tower if you can)
  3. ping mia at least twice when they leave lane (danger ping to lane they are going to)
  4. if you have a ward avaiable you arent playing right (get deep vision), when i supp i have no wards available including sight-stone wards
  5. never chase, if you have deep wards and their jungle is a Christmas tree you're fine, or if you have a good ashe who provides you with vision
  6. towers=baron and drag control, if bot loses its tower they cant go contest drag without risking getting caught

Summarize;

  1. play champs you are comfortable on
  2. if you can prioritize tower or following the roam
  3. uses your pings to help your team
  4. ward, ward ,ward ,deep ward,
  5. DONT CHASE EVER GET VISION FIRST
  6. control objectives

note: if you have a fed adc like mf or lucain you can bait baron or drag as long as you have 1-2 takes and decent cc

i try to baron bait with mf/lucian, olaf (jg) vlad/cass (mid) tank/yas (top) and decent cc supp... it works but really comes down to how your team is in teamfights and whos ahead of who

ELO Hell does not exist. It's statistically impossible, unless you think the matchmaker is specifically targetting YOU.

I have some tips, not sure how handy they are, but it's showed me that attitude does have a great impact on wins and losses. However, what I want to say is if you're looking to climb and something goes wrong like a bad teamfight breaks out whether your team started or they did, right after immediately say "I should have X..." or "My bad, I didn't X..."

People in Bronze are looking for others to blame, however if they see someone saying "Hey, I messed up," then they will either sympathize or realize that there are things to improve upon. This also serves the purpose of you also seeing ways you can try better the next time it happens.

Everyone has an ego, regardless or rank or age. Lead by example, is probably the best thing I'm trying to say. Everybody's trying their hardest, the first one to say, "I'm not perfect, let me own up to my mistakes," will find that the climb becomes much easier. If you have to point out the mistake of another teammate, my suggestion would be ask, "Why did you do that?" instead of "OMG YOU SUCK!" Whether or not they give a good reason, use it as an opening of "Well, next time could you X?"

at this point i just expect my teammates to be bad and so i dont tilt very much when the fuck up. I'veonly flamed recently when ive gone adc and my support who hasnt built support items decides to chirp me and take my cs

dont follow when they roam (take the tower if you can)

That depends on what champion and lane you are. Mid lane should almost always be following if their mid is roaming, especially if they roam bot lane. Top lane, it depends on the champion but usually they should either push the tower hard or use TP, if they have it, to countergank.

Maybe that's not a thing in lower elo, but in high elo, counterganks wins games. Saving your bot lane or even getting their bot lane killed from a countergank is worth more than getting a tower a little bit earlier. Especially if you can take either the bot tower and/or dragon as a follow-up.

Actually it's worth just pinging mia and pushing. First blood tower is extremely snowbally. You just gotta hope bot lane actually cares that you called mia

Except that people don't usually roam when their tower is in danger of getting destroyed because of it. I guess low elo people actually do that but well...

Your bot lane losing is much more snowbally than hoping for a tower first blood. Losing bot lane means losing objective control of the dragon. There are 2 players in bot lane if they get pushed past their first tower or their first tower get destroyed, it pushes back 2 players away from the dragon pit. And pinging MIA doesn't help much. If the bot lane had to back off every time they don't see an enemy on the minimap or someone ping MIA, they'd never be able to farm CS and lose their lane because of it.

Uhm I'm in diamond. Also, you really shouldn't be criticizing people's elo because you don't get that right until you're in high diamond.

And if the mid laner consistently leaves, then that's a free mid turret. Bot lane doesn't have to back off unless the mid laner's been gone for atleast 5 seconds. It's the mid laner's job to consistently call mia once they don't see the enemy.

Also, bot lane has wards. Ward your jungle entrances and the tribush and you shouldn't have a problem. It even remedies the mia problem if you have map awareness.

The only people who think a midlaner MUST follow their enemy are just bot lane mains that get pissed off whenever they get ganked and it doesn't work in their favor. You should only follow your laner if -you're ahead -you're a better duelist -you have better mobility -the fortification buff is still on the tower and you can't do any significant damage to the tower because small wave

if im yasuo mid and their mid is roaming towards my jungler, i ping him to go cover while i stay mid, but yes i depends on the champions, if you cant take a tower quick like lb then you should follow

I am bronze, and I hate how everyone says that in order to get out of bronze you have to be able to carry alone. Like, I can't carry a game with 2-3 feeders that happen almost every game. Even players with better skills (like plat and diamond) have lost on my account due to bad teamates.

I feel like in gold/diamond no one expects you to solo carry the whole team of bad players.

Vision is a huge problem, even supports don't ward. Supports farm because "they need gold". People (kids) have big ego and they don't know when to play a little bit more careful - they have 0 4 and go in like they have 10 0. Minimap is a 0. And even if you ping, they just don't listen or they don't see it at all.

ya but when you dont ping they blame you and in a way it is your fault but when you do its like umm no i pinged you need to pay attention

Get at least 10 cs a minute. If you have 200 cs at 20 minutes you will be a full item above your bronze enemy.

Bait your team. I climbed by promising my teammates that I would gift then rp if we won and then would block them after the game. Gotta lure them into playing their best
