Do I deserve Bronze

Tilt Fiend·Aug 18, 2016·2 votes·615 views

Hello, this is me trying to learn if I truly deserve bronze. Yes I am currently in Bronze, yes I'm not a god at the game I know, but I feel like I at least deserve Silver. I carry some games, no matter the role. BUT, I just simply can't carry everything, does that mean I should be in Bronze until I'm some sort of carry everything type of guy? I enjoy setting my team up for the most part, which is useless if my team is trash. And yeah, I'm subject to the typical bad game, but i never feed to where my lane is unkillable unless 1v4 with all our cc. I just don't get it. This is a team based game, why does it seem I'm punished for wanting to set my team up?

yes

looking at your match history i see plenty of problems justifying bronze 5 let alone your b3.

What type of champions do you play? If you play great initiators like Amumu and Alistar , then you just have to pray your team follows up. It helps to ping it or type in chat before fights what your plan is. Otherwise, play champions that either can solo carry games or that can easily escape if your initiation is not folllowed up on.

My main 3 champs are Thresh LeeSin and Gangplank . When I play GP I tend to carry but he gets boring and I can't really binge him. Even when my team does follow up, and get kills. It seems they don't know how to play when ahead, which i get is part of this elo. Its just painful.

I feel for you. I climbed out of B5 playing just tank supports. You just have to try and spoon fed your allies and somehow make them good and be a god they can't lose with.

Here are a few things to know.

League is a game full of millions of accounts... 68% of them are in Bronze or Silver. The ranking system is stupid tbh compared to other games. If your MMR gets too low, you will actually need a 60%+ win rate to even climb out. People in Silver and even Gold, can win consistently in bronze but to get higher than a 60% is actually pretty difficult. So what we're left with, is a bunch of players who are at a higher level, to hold their own.. but not high enough level to carry 4 bad players on a consistent basis.

I am a Diamond player, and I can basically win most bronze and silver games on a consistent basis. Back in the day, I was in gold and would go on a bronze smurf and do very well but I would still manage to lose a decent amount of games even though I personally was doing everything. Winning my lane, and then helping out struggling lanes.

Some things to do to actually climb:

Don't solo queue. It's honestly like rolling the dice for a W/L. If you get stuck with bad teammates, sometimes you just cannot carry them
Dodge, if you don't mind waiting. Look your teammates up on op.gg. If they have lost 10 games in a row with scores like 1-15, chances are you want to dodge that. Also, avoid playing with high skill cap champions in low elo. (Lee Sin, Kalista, etc)
Stick to 1 champion and 1 role: You're not in the LCS, don't try to counter pick. in ranked.. bring your BEST, thats what ranked is.. to see what ranked your best is.

GL, try not to be toxic.
