I'm never leaving Bronze. Any "last resort" kind of tips ?

Hello, I started playing LoL in late season 5, I was placed bronze 1 and had no chance to climb further since pre-season 6 was about to kick in. In season 6, I made the mistake of maining support. My two friends who were introduced to LoL by me (top laner and ADC/mid) made it to Gold 5 by the end of the season, while I barely managed to claw my way from bronze 4 to 1. Now I got matched with players so bad I had to double my medication intake during placement games, and I promise you they are the bad ones. I can smash lane on my friend's plat unused account but in bronze support can't simply carry. My 2nd role is jungle, but everytime I try it my support is very bad (goes full AP and doesnt ward) so I find myself compelled to play the next game as support. Besides, my jungling isnt as good as my support. My overall winrate is below 50% and I'm guessing I'm one of the small % of players who got the short end of the stick (and it's natural because players above 50% have to exist, therefore losers exist too) I'm just very frustrated with the fact that I can't do anything to help my team as support in bronze. (I do those things but bronzies dont benefit from warding and information provided like flash timers and "that bush is warded dont gank" etc...)

Cut your life into pieces. Heard that works well.

If you want to keep maining support, find a competent adc, and duo with them. You are not looking to get carried, you are looking to make sure that if you win botlane, your adc will most of the time do something OK with it, making it more likely that your skill will win the game, and less likely you'll get a troll.

Focus on you and improving your game. If you belong in something other than bronze, you'll get there. If you don't, then it's probably a good indicator that you belong in bronze.

Good CSing almost by itself got me out of Bronze in Season 6. Aim for 80 by 10 minutes on a late game champ and you should be able to carry around 60% of your games. You won't always get 80 by ten minutes but this should be your aim. With this in mind your CS should be always be where it needs to be in context of the particular game. What I mean by this is that even if your don't make 80 by 10 minutes, let's say you hit 60, then your opponent might be at 20 or your 60 might be the highest in the game. I guess what I'm saying is, farm as much as possible. Learn how to do this and forget the idiots than wanna fight constantly without any thought. Fight later when you're farmed and leveled. Kills will come to you easy.

Would it be wrong, would it be right? Play ZZ´Rot Singed or Garen. Just push forever, and when they come for you run away and push another lane. Win because Bronze can´t deal.

You can carry as Support, but in Bronze I would recommend playing Top lane. You just stay top and farm all game, have like 50+ more CS than anyone else. You will be stronger than everyone and then you can just push a lane and kill anyone who comes at you. Most of the time in Bronze they come at you 1 at a time or they don't respect your gold lead and jump at you blindly.

On my smurf I got out of Bronze by literally split pushing all game with Jax, Kayle, and Garen.

Open a new account, the base mmr of a new account is probably much higher than your current account, and you can rank up much easier.

Focus less on your teammates gameplay and learn the extent to which you can carry. Supports that are good for climbing low elo are Thresh (if you're good), Karma, Lulu, Brand, Zyra, Vel'Koz, and Veigar. Main any of those champs as a support, get good at it and you will climb. Bronze elo is literally won by a single player a game like 90% of the time, so try being that player.

There is nothing wrong with being bronze despite what some will say. If the bottom rung of the ladder drops out then the other rungs will shortly follow. Just focus on things you can control. 15 cs = 1 kill. Pratice CSing and you'll eventually climb.

Singed Support. Best Bronze sup IMO.
