Why I think i lose majority of my games in bronze.

YOUGOTKILLEDBRO··1 votes·565 views

One word defining this. Toxic. I was abused by my teammates this game and it made our team lose morale. I was trying to encourage them by saying we can still do it. In the game i just played, Fiora was pointing out when anybody made a mistake and Katarina was complaining about my ults. I got pissed off and i raged in chat. To add insult to injury, Thresh and Nautilus were doing the same thing as fiora in /all chat. I have lost desire to play ranked because of people being toxic. I honestly don't care that i lost this game even though it was a seiries. I would like to be in challenger for a day and see how toxic it is up there. I am just done with the community here and I still want to play, but it is hard to queue back up because you almost know you are going to be dumped on by your team. I personally love this game but it is so damn hard but I don't take critisism well unless it is constructive. If anyone has and tips that i could usem besides muting people?

get better is pretty much the only advice you can give. No offense but its hard to get bronze if you know what you are doing. Work on everything from map awareness to farming and just work on carrying the game. Paying attention to your teammates only hinders you, worry about yourself and you will rank up 10 fold as quick.

no prob. one of the best tips i can give is play easy non skill shot champs like annie,pantheon,kayle and you will see an increase in win rate since you dont have to worry about hitting skillshots and using complex champions

"Why I think i lose majority of my games in bronze".....

Until you can honestly answer this with ITS MY FAULT you will never get out of bronze much less make challenger.

Think back on your losses and try and find something that YOU could have done better to improve your chances of winning....I promise you there was something. If you are fed go camp another lane and get them fed also. If you have a terrible bot lane go bot with them and push the tower down instead of letting them feed for 25 minutes then ff. Your losses all have one common element. You. You can always do more. If your team is toxic mute them or try to draw their attention away from each other and focus it on something positive. To give you an example of being proactive instead of just accepting a loss and complaining about it.

I had a Draven that was intentionally feeding....he started the game 0/12. The rest of the lanes were winning but Draven was keeping the other team in the game. People started raging at him but I told my team to just chill and follow Draven wherever he went. He would go feed but we would kill the other team as they killed him. We forced him to be useful even if it was just soaking up some damage before he fed. We won the game.

Even in gold / plat it's really bad. One time i was 15-3-x (can't remember) with vlad and this 2-7 vayne in bot lane whines that I overextended a single time. I ended up doing 4x her damage to champs, and never complained about her once. Some kids have Dunning-Kruger syndrome, which means they don't realize how bad they are.

Another one of my favorite times was when I was 1v2ing them top, my team lost a 3v4, and then blamed me for not being there. It's like they expect you to 1v5.

However, I'm just giving you examples to show you that it's not just bronze. You can't fixate on these kinds of things. The only thing you can focus on is improving yourself. Those people you play with will likely never be in your game again. Sometimes even though they are feeding, they're right. Just try to take the good information when you can and discard the negativity. Sometimes that's very, very hard. I have a tendency to rage when people are critical when I'm outright carrying them, and that's a personal fault of mine, because it only hurts my chances of winning.

So there are two things that stand out, and the second is what I would suggest as a really good option to climb and enjoy the game more.

The first is the biggest reason you lost "I raged." Any game you do this is one you hurt your team. I've done it myself bc sometimes people are jerks. However, the truth is being a jerk damages the team and you can't keep others from doing it, but you can avoid it yourself. Even when they deserve it, just shut up. (Personally I use mute to mute myself just as much as I do to mute other people)

Second and more important is ""I tilt." This is such a big problem for me. People say negative stuff and I just lose the focus on winning bc I get distracted thinking my teammate is a jerk. I mean I wouldn't play basketball with someone who was a jerk, but you can't just remake or afk in ranked so you need a different way to keep focus. For me it has been huge to find a few people who are really positive and I can enjoy chatting with to duo. It gives me motivation to focus bc I don't want to cost my duo the game, and they are positive in game which often keeps me positive and not tilting.
