climbing out of bronze 5

siilentdeath··1 votes·603 views

in 4 days i reached a series to get out of bronze five 3 times. then the teams i get when i try to win my series matches are laughable. i would be winning my lane and in control. then some lane or lanes just start feeding and not playing to win. bottom or top gose down. then they come mid or bottom into my lane and lose my tower. i play safe and try to keep playing the game with smart plays. the lane that fed continues to snowball horribly to the point of nearly no return. i had in all 8 of my advancement matches 2 wins and 6 losses. 2 wins were landslide victories. then the loses werent even games. i got the bottom of the barrel laners. i mean these guys lost the 1st tower under 8 minutes. also lanes would be screaming for ganks from the jungler at level 2. if it could go wrong it went wrong. had afks in 4 of my placement matches. in short how in the blue hell dose anyone ever climb out of bronze 5. i shouldnt have to go 20/2/10 every game to get out of bronze. they need to adjust how u climb. they say its a team game yet 1 person feeding punishes the the whole with a loss for 1 players actions or lack there of. i have bad games like every body else dose. early game i tend to be even in lane or on track to win lane. in losses my positive stats start to go negative when the feeders start to feed even more. even better i have had afks in 30% of my games season. mostly on my team. why do they stick me people that think hecarim is a support? i know its bronze 5 but the stupid has to stop somewhere.

when you lose to a very fed enemy, you should try to understand how they got so fed. if it happens enough, then it's possible that you can do the same. if you lose to them, they are doing their job better than you. playing safe and just handling your lane is very limiting.

it's like just passing a test. the problem with this is that someone who scores higher on the same test is more likely to be picked for the job. you can say bronze is different than other ranks, but the only really change is skill and knowledge about the game. basically, it gets harder to win games. also, winning lane helps with winning game, it doesn't mean you should win game just because you won lane. you can also go 100/0/100 and lose a game and it would really mean you should have lost that game (even more so if you had a massive lead).

go for objectives, make sure your cs is up, and keep your deaths down. I've seen people carry games going 0/7/2 about (deaths do make it harder of course) since they caused so much pressure, so don't depend on getting a good kda.

tbh man Idk how i won out of bronze 1 last year, like 9 promos until i finally won a promo for s5. I'd just make a new account on the side and just get the first win bonus and continue trying on your main. Eventualy it will be lv 30 and have some IP for runes and champs and can maybe try ranked on there. Smurfing is frowned upon by some, but for those who fucked their mmr up early it gets to a point where your with people who just don't care about winning. People with the comments "if you do your role you'll eventually climb" Ok and say If I do my role for 20 games, where 14 games I lose just because you can't win a 4v5. The 4v5 being afk, dcs or just someone who just dies and dosn't seem to care about the game @ all. How can you carry a game when the enemy team can 4v2 you (you and the 1 guy who seems to know whats going on) while your other 3 teammates chase the 150 hp support or top laner. There is only so much you can do as 1 player. If your not up for making a new account try to play team only games. Pretty sure team 5s will raise your 5s elo and maybe help you place higher next season. Oh and silver and gold is just like bronze, except there is less people who just feed for no reason. Silver people still afk, in gold theres little to no "feeders" but tons of people who like to Lone wolf and end up costing the team a 4v5 fight.(even in gold people still fight 4v5s)

Here is the secret of climbing out of Bronze. I used it to get from Bronze 3 to Bronze 1 in two weeks. And my friend used it to get out of Bronze 5 to Silver 4 in three or four weeks. The secret is: don't play too much. Play like 3 - 5 games max, a day; and take breaks between your games, and just focus on playing well yourself and not winning. Forget about the outcome of the game. Just focus on trying to not die and getting a score like 7-0-5. Not 12-15-8. Like 4-0-10. Not 15-20-4. Like 10-2-7. Not 18-15-5. You'll notice that in LCS games, the death counts are very low - not many die often. If you die a lot, you make it harder for your teammates because the enemy gets fed, even if you have a lot of kills yourself, your allies don't. So control your itch for diving and chasing. Remember to ward and remember CS > kills. I believe it's about 16 CS = 1 kill, so you could get that in 2 minion waves. But anyways, just play for trying to do well yourself and forget about winning or how your teammates are doing (you can try to help them of course, but sometimes you gotta let it go), and you'll realize you'll start to win. I went on two 8 game winning streaks and got into promos mad fast from 0 LP playing this way. Keep a cool head and don't stress over it.
