If you can't get out of Bronze you belong there. Do research and practice on your champ.
EDIT: Sorry I don't want to make anyone feel bad, just have fun with your friends, that's what's important.
Silver players get a pass, Silver has every skill level inside it.
Swiftstrike44 votesI don't agree with the original post. There are a lot of Bronze players that have Silver skill and are stuck in Bronze. A silver caliber ADC with a terrible support will just feed the bot lane. That is out of their control and their role as an ADC makes them highly dependent on other players making sure they stay protected. If the entire team is bronze caliber, they will NOT protect him or her unless it is accidental.
The best way to get out of Bronze, if you are truly better than that Elo is: play top or mid, have a small champion pool, play hard carry champs that have ways to escape, not dying, and play a champ that does not need to rely on other players too often.
I have several friends that have a hard time getting out of Bronze. No, they are not Gold or Plat level players, but they are Silver. I think their biggest problem is that they play champs that rely on teamfighting or play roles that rely on coordination and team work.
Some bronze players are really REALLY bad. They may be new to the game or ranked and just may be trying a new champion out. They have no mechanics at all and have no idea how to stop dying. This can lead into a feed fest making it very difficult to hard carry out of a game.
I don't think Bronze and most low-level Silver players are truly that different. The problem is that Bronze players will play with the floor-skill players in league.

5 sheep vs. 4 sheep+1 lion
I think we both know who wins that.
5 sheep vs. 4 sheep+1 delusional sheep that thinks he's a lion
The average bronze game.
Do you understand? If you can't get out of Bronze your just another baddy. A sheep that thinks their a lion.

That is a terrible analogy for a video game and does not bolster your original argument at all.
Zerolera3 votesI completely disagree with your statement and agree with Swiftstrike's. Depending on your role and it's reliance on the team, getting out of bronze can be very difficult. Playing solo lanes is really the only thing ensuring that your skills cause the greatest effect by being able to end games preemptively through being extremely fed.
69469238DEL11 votesI thought it was obvious you can't play bot lane in low elo, relying on the Blitzcrank grabbing minions won't get you anywhere.
If it wasn't obvious I apologize. Mid, Top and JG to climb.
Zerolera2 votesI would say it's even more than that - you have to play a role and a champion that can solo carry without any reliance on the rest of the team and one that has a strong early game. For example playing Maokai even if he is a top pick right now would be a complete waste.
WinBoat2 votesBronze, Silver, Gold, Plat, and high Diamond all the same really. Only differences is warding and vision control, and objectives. Down to mechanics is =/=
The reason Bronze is hard to get out of is well? There is too many people in bronze. It's the majority of the games population and why? Because Silver+ has less spots open to get in, especially Diamond+ where there are fewer spots, and Challenger and so on where there are hardly any.
Basically you win=you knock someone out of a open available spot and climb. The more this becomes apparent as you climb that this is happening and is the actual case. Yes lots of people can get out of Bronze if they played enough, but there is a huge luck factor and typically unless you're in a party, you will not have a huge winning percentage. You can't carry every game, you can carry most but not all.
Solution? Riot opens more spots for all Leagues so more people can get in and there isn't mixed skill levels between bronze players competing for Silver.
Personally I wished everyone was based on KDA and performance, not if you win which is stupid.
WinBoat3 votesI'll let the downvotes speak for themselves. The bronze mentality is too strong on this one. Gotta love these boosted people.
Cheers.
69469238DEL11 votesLol ok
Arcade Andrew2 votesI dont normally complain about being in bronze as I got to silver before and dont care about my rank to much, HOWEVER your post fails logic so terribly
"do research practice your champ" how can a bronzie do research when riot is is changing the game in the middle of the season
and the mage updates? what if their champ was taric or vlad
69469238DEL11 votesStreamers, YouTube vids, ChampionGG, OP NA GG.
There's no excuse when the knowledge on new champs and changes on old ones is so readily available.
EndlessSorcerer2 voteshow can a bronzie do research when riot is is changing the game in the middle of the season
The exact same way players of every other ranking do their research.
peaches7711 votesWhile this is true for the most part you must realize that there are some people who are truly stuck in bronze because they get trolls/afks in every single game they enter.
69469238DEL11 votesYou can literally solo carry out of Bronze. Yes you have Bronze level teammates but guess what? The enemy team is just as trash. If your any sort of decent you'll solo carry out of shit elo.

I don't think you understand how hard it is to carry when your team runs down mid lane and the enemy has rabadon's in less than 10 minutes.
69469238DEL11 votesI solo climbed out of Bronze 4 this season to Gold 4. I know what Bronze is like believe me.
The difference between me and you? I didn't spend all my time crying about my teammates, I learned to win.

That is a lie im B2 and the matches i cant carry is because my team feeds like the other team is a foreign country in need of food and water.
69469238DEL11 votesYeah I'm sure you belong in Platinum
Lugg1 votesFYI, I have seen Bronze players who can mop the floor with Diamond players. Some just don't worry about leveling up.
69469238DEL11 votesliar.
Pandemic Punch1 votesI have beaten a diamond 1 in lane with no help from the jungler. I am just a silver scrub. Granted I don't play much ranked and I was Cho vs Nasus :P
69469238DEL11 votesOk so he paid for a booster congrats
Pandemic Punch1 votesWell many more than 1 diamonds but I figured I would give the more recent example that was in my memory.
69469238DEL11 votesWOW AWESOME DUDE YOUR THE CHOSEN BRONZIE WHO CURB STOMPS DIAMOND ELO PLAYERS, GOSH IF ONLY YOUR TEAMMATES DIDN'T FEED RIGHT
BluePolarizer1 voteslol this is so wrong.
Bronze is theoretically the hardest to get out of because it has the largest MMR variation. A bronze can be anywhere from 0 to 1100 MMR. This is the biggest variation in any tier, with all other tiers being a variation of 200-400 MMR.
I've never been bronze and was only silver for a few weeks but it is undisputable from the numbers alone.
M15TAH JAY1 voteswait...how can you "solo carry out of bronze" if theres not just bronze on your team or theirs? if I'm not mistaken you get put up and teamed up with players of different ranks so somebody explain to me wtf
69469238DEL11 votesBoth teams have Bronze players, maybe the stray silver 5 but their bronze too
