On that salty tilt

I honestly do not know where to start. I for one love the game, I really do. I have been playing since 2010 (Not pro by any means) But I will say this. I do have a excellent understanding of the game, and I am not too shabby. But what I cannot stand is the Bronze life.... I won 7 straight promotional games, and then the last three, I end up getting AFK's, and other people who have no idea what they hell they are doing. So, yet again, I find myself in Bronze, Bronze 4 never the less... I try, I honestly do. I try to be supportive, I honor teamates, and enemy team, I buy Pink wards, and I try to guide people. Instead i find myself winning just enough to be a few short points away from promotions, and then three games straight I am faced with teams that have no idea how to talk or even play basic lane phases. It is getting to a point in which it melts my mind as to how consistently inconstant my teams can be. And its always at the same time. I almost feel as though RIOT has an algorithm that just starts fucking you over if you are winning a few matches in a row. It just keeps you virtually locked in where you are. Its not even as though the other teams become harder.... That couldnt be any further from the truth, I am talking about running into games where I am carrying hard, and I have a bot lane that goes 0-10 within the first 10 minutes of the match... I try to help, I try to give up kills, I ward, I kite, I peele, I rotate, and I try to suggest game plans.... But no one, and I mean no one listens. Bot lane talks about going back to dota, Top lane is feeding straight into the next year, and the jungler is killed by his own jungle minions... And I just wonder to myself, night after night. What the actual fuck is going on?

Its not that I am not up to higher levels of tier play. I have friends that span from gold through plat, (Nice going to school with Koreans) and I play up to their level all the time. I even beat them at their own roles at times...

I just honestly don't know what to do any more. I love the game, I just cant stand not being able to climb the brackets... Every season, in and out is the same. And to be frank, I am just getting tired of the bullshit. I am angry, I am on tilt, and I just want to get out of fucking bronze... For fucks sakes.

Just ignore it and move on. That's just how bronze is. Some games you will completely stomp. Others you'll have 3 lanes feed to the point of having no chance to redeem it (You'll probably end up with similar stats while attempting to do so). Just analyze and care about your own play. I mean it's only 15 lp or so per loss and around 25 per win eventually the positive gain will outstrip the negative.

I also am starting to find it really helps to look up your teamates in the lobby. If they've got consistently horrible games in the match history dodge it. The minion push mechanics and how things have changed make it extremely hard to recover when one or two lanes decide to go 0/4 or worse by the 10 minute mark (Had a yasuo go 2/12/1 in a 21 minute game, fed fiora 10 kills by the 12 minute or 15 minute mark). Tanking a dodge timer and some small lp loss is much better than grinding through a stomp match.
