how to progress in league

Why are there so many threads about people complaining that they can't get out of bronze because another lane is feeding and it is so unfair?

How is it that people seem to progress up the ranks by themselves? We see it on streams as people are leveling their new accounts. I believe this could be just that some people are simply not good enough to move up.

I am bronze 5 support main and I go between B4 and B5 for the past few weeks as I don't play all the time. I believe this is simply because I am not progressing quickly with my skill in league.

The first step in getting better is to admit that you need to improve yourself. Then working towards that goal.

Because humans would rather lie to themself then admitting they are not great in everything. Egoism has a lot to do with it. Also leagues community is so cancer and everybody has excuses like " my jungler didnt gank" " my support is shit" " we just lost because of the riven pick" that newer players just start adapting and using these excuses themself.

I still haven't got to ranked(Because im just about to hit lvl 20), But in my opinion to best way would be just to shut up, practice, relay on yourself not your teammates, and start getting those victories! ;)

League is a team game, always will be, and should never have a single snowball situation break the game Jaskko. If the other team is smart they will focus you every fight and harrass you until you are no longer a threat. Thats how team playing works.

Personally, I feel like something more should be done to start slimming ranked league down.

For example, those who are stuck bouncing around a couple ranks should be forced to improve or get dropped a level / get caged*** - See below. Legacy players stuck in a league for more than 20 games should be demoted / get caged***. This would start to narrow down the upper levels and spread more skilled players throughout league. Not improving is just as bad as playing poor.

Also I have seen way too many players in bronze who just flat out dont care or dont know what they are doing. It ruins gameplay for everyone including myself (bronze for 4 years now).

Although I can compete with people in silver and gold I have issues leveling through league bc of AFK or said above. Its also a disappointing win when the other team has someone like that. I played with several higher ranks than myself years ago when i was starting out and I could hang with them bc we were on the same mindset, i feel like too many players nowadays dont recognize bad situations and dont learn them.

My ideas on the issue are sane, however a bit emotional so maybe someone else can chip into this idea.

***Caged - Definition:

How about league starts forcing players to go back to normal after not improving (see above). A score of 10 / 15 would be needed to reenter ranked in the same league you left from, else you will be dropped a level for every unsuccessful attempt (9 or below out of 15 games) until you reenter.

Pros:

  1. Eliminate the overwhelming number of people who have ego issues.
  2. Forces players to get the wins and work out thier own playstyle problems.
  3. Provides a location to put those who are reported.
  4. Eliminate Legacy players.

Cons:

  1. Alot of people would be put into this location making them very mad. (see ego issues above).
  2. Ranked would be much more serious than it is now.
  3. Beginning of Season would be difficult to sort out. ( for Riot to figure out)

Let me know what you all think
