Just some prior information before reading what i wrote, i am rather new to LoL, playing since the middle of season 4. I hit level 30 by the end of the season and made it to silver 4 during preseason by winning 4 of my placement matches. I then started doing bad and went down to silver 5 and began playing with bronze 3s while in ranked. I realize that i was doing horribly and commited myself to playing better and learning, I'm also new to the forums and boards, I've made only a few posts if any. So don't just jump up and start yelling at me for mistakes and other things, just kindly show me the way through.

I just played my 50th game of ranked LoL in the new season, still bronze 5, and this match highlights my eagerness to get out of this hell.

25/9/13

that was my score as rengar carrying a team hard, we played through great, though we had a lux that fed and did nothing particularly useful. I had been making god plays getting a few triples in the process, two of them was because of the killista ulting me (She bonded with me.....) The issue was that the team had no idea how to take hold of an objective, we could target and transition out of fights well, but we couldn't get or priorities straight. We got our ihibs knocked down one by one until we had double superminions coming in and you heard me singing on the mic, "I WILL NEVER SURRENDERRRRRRRRR" as i took on wave after wave of minions.

I will consider it 40 games with bronze 5, since i had 10 placement matches out of my 50 games. Within that tame frame i lost 25 times and won 15 times. A good amount of those losses came from bad teammates where a few was where i just sucked ass. You see, I've come to the conclusion that two factors are reliant on getting out of bronze, or atleast bronze 5. One is skill and the other is luck. You need a good amount of skill, you don't need to carry, but you need to know how not to feed, to create the illusion that your a good player. You also need a hard ass amount of luck. Why? Because every team that you get in bronze 5 your going to have one of the following. A person with bad internet, a feeder, a troll, a person who can't play, or people who don't know how to play objectively. More likely then not you will have SEVERAL of these people on your team, making it near impossible to climb out.

Noted by my score, you can see that i do good and play well, however if i don't get teammates who can actively support each other, can't push lane, or can't play in general. Than we lose and it puts my lp back to 0. Which is why i believe Riot should make a new system based on KDA, objectives, and tribunal report system. If it were so, even the losing team players could atleast get something out of the game to make the grind out of the lower tiers less harsh. Either way 50 games through being stuck with the worst of the worst has taught me something about this season. Riot dumped everyone from silver and lower gold to bronze, everyone in upper gold and plat to silver, and everyone in diamond to plat. Making it a shit fest in bronze as everyone is trying to get the tiers they belong in which results in good people getting paired with bad players. All it does is just make the climb more difficult, anyways that's all i have to say, thanks for reading.

In season 4, I was placed in Bronze 3 after an awful 2-8 provisionals. I immediately sank to Bronze 5 0 LP. I then spent around 80 games in Bronze 5 before getting frustrated and switching to normals full time again. I came back to it a few months later, around November. I had since started maining Jinx and felt very comfortable with her. I got Jinx 4/5 games and climbed back to Bronze 3 in about a week of light playing.

This season, I also got placed in Bronze 5 0 LP. I once again got Jinx quite a lot, and I climbed to Bronze 4 in about 10 games. Now I've been having a bit of trouble with 3/4 of my teammates feeding, in ranked and in normals. I tend to just give up on those games, so I dropped back down to Bronze 5, but I know when I buckle down and actually try to win games I can easily climb back to Bronze 3 in a few games.

You just need to play the game more, find a strong champion that you usually win with.

I agree with you there and i range through alot of different champions. I like playing burst damage champs mostly with my playstyle hitting all lanes, however if i fall out of practice with a champ i tend to have issues with it. Likewise if i play a champ over a long period of time i tend to start doing bad with it, so i switch it up. Most of my Ranked games have been jungle, with the next being supp, then top, then mid, then adc. I usually o well when i'm not countered but if i slip up early game i tend to have a hard game. Also i feed for you, i usually only have 1-2 bad players a game, you sound like you get more.

Too long; didn't read.

but if you are stuck in bronze hell then you must accept you are the problem.

Kills are nice but objectives win the game.

in other words you are not ready to get out.

Add me and I will spectate one of your games. I can tell you what you are doing wrong. I am nothing too high (Just Gold I, ex Plat IV), but I think I can find your mistakes.
