How are people in Bronze 1 so bad?

Xesx·Jan 4, 2018·1 votes·2,218 views

Every time I get a team in Bronze 1 it is just a bunch of dumbass people who think they can win the game by never grouping or never play as a team. And oh god forbid I do not do jungle, Every. Single. Jungler. will suck ass and not gank lanes at all. It is almost like they think they are playing an mmorpg and farming for resources or some shit. This is not WoW, come to my lane and help me. I had no trouble at all climbing the other branches of Bronze, but I feel like Bronze 1 is filled with the worst, most dumb players that there are. I honestly feel like Bronze 4 had way better players. I have been stuck in Bronze 1 for about 3 weeks now and it is so frustrating whenever even if I play well, my team ends up thinking they are a 1v5 god and feeding constantly. AND THEY NEVER LISTEN TO PINGS, OR EVEN FUCKING PING!!!! WHAT IN THE HELL!!!! Like, I am so stressed and frustrated with trying to climb out of bronze, this is literally the most frustrating shit I have ever done. And then for my team to call me toxic for criticizing what they are doing wrong and trying to point them in the right direction. What in the fuck is this game, yo? Like, it isn't even the game, the game is well made, it is the fucking people in the game that frustrate the living shit out of me! Like, how hard is it to come to a lane atleast once a game and help your laner? I will tell you this, I am a jungle main, and if anyone ever told me it was impossible to gank a lane, I would call they stupid, because there are so many different ways to get into lanes that it is actually hella easy. I don't know, Bronze 1 is literally the bane of my existence. Holy fuck.

it's bronze what do you expect

XesxJan 4, 20181 votes

I expect people with atleast a sliver of common sense and knowledge of the game. I mean Jesus fucking Christ, I feel like half the people I play with are actually braindead. I am sorry, I am just so stressed right now.

ah if you think that gets better as soon as you get out of bronze, it won't.

trust me, it won't.

for me it does, you at least have more chances to meet knowledgable/skilled player and less chances to have afker/newbie in your games.

The difference between tiers is better/worse game knowledge and mechanics. Decision making is reserved for Masters. Can't expect much until then..,even then, it's still humans playing, remember.

I just do not understand how people in Bronze play. I honestly don't. It is too hard for me to wrap my head around it. I may get one game with good teammates every 5 games, the rest I am stuck trying to explain the game to someone who I would only assume to have just started playing the game. You still have to be level 30 to play ranked, right? Like, I would assume more than half of the Bronze people I play with have never played before.

I was being a little humorous, but it's true from what I have seen on the occasion that I (silverish) get matched with G or P or I watch higher level streams and people are always making questionable plays. I think a lot of it (at lower ELOs is) people just on champs they don't know or are new too or don't know the enemy champ(s), etc. The knowledge. But all ELOs like to try stuff out or try to be the hero (even in ranked) and make 50/50 or worse decisions and end up costing games. I think a lot of the "bronze" plays are actually done by all different ELOs. And just the fact that ranked is not regulated at all other than having to have level 30/20 champs to play, doesn't help.

Norms really aren't any different. I have games where I feel like it's me and 4 Diamonds against a team of Wood 5s. Next game, I have the Wood team mates playing against Diamond. I think in reality (other than the smurfs leveling new accts), there are just so many variables (connections, knowledge, mechanics, premades, team comp, etc) that when you have a lopsided game, it is really just bad luck....not Riot trying to screw us all over by having us all secretly play Faker in our promos.

at least you're still trying i quit

XesxJan 4, 20181 votes

I did quit for a while, I was on the brink of uninstalling last game. I want to get atleast gold next season, but these fucking bronze trash make me want to pull the hair out of my damn head.

Idk, cant really have sympathy cause you seem like the kind of guy that wants to blame jg for anything

XesxJan 4, 20181 votes

I am not the kind of guy who "wants to blame the jungle for everything." I am a jungle main myself, did you not pay attention to anything I just fucking said above?

XesxJan 4, 20181 votes

In the last game I played, and many other ones, the jungler never ganked my lane or any lanes for that matter, therefore I obviously blamed the jungler in those games because no fucking duh. It is not "always the jungler's fault." It can easily be any other lane, but jungle has the biggest influence on the gameplay, as the jungler has the most important role in the game. Throughout most of my games, more than any other lane, bot lane has done the worst.

btw I have got several advices from gold+ players to get splitpusher and splitpush, as bronze don't have eyes, I will try this out once I will be placed back in bronze.

That is usually what I do, it is amazing how much map awareness people in Bronze lack. How hard is it to glance down at the map every now and then. And the amount of people I find playing locked cam is crazy, I can instantly tell if someone is playing unlocked or locked just by how the are in lane. Playing locked is such a waste of space, I only lock my cam in team fights.

Take fiora mate, it works.

Also it capitalizes on the fact that they will try and 1v1 you even if you're clearly stronger.

thank you, in current reality it is hard to earn BE , and I have other runes and champions to buy, so I can't afford to buy and learn Fiora, given I already have few other splitpushers. Mbe if I will get hardstuck (hope not) in bronze I will try it.

XesxJan 4, 20181 votes

AND DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHAT HALF OF THEM BUILD. LIKE THEY JUST GRABBED A BUILD STRAIGHT FROM MOBAFIRE AND USE IT EVERY FUCKING GAME. NO, NEVER DO THAT, YOU BUILD BASED OFF OF THE ENEMY TEAM, JUST STOP, LIKE, STOP, PLEASE!

My advice for you is to get a decent duo, that you think you are comfortable playing with or playing like Silver4 minimum level. Although I don't support idea of duo ranking up, I got out of Bronze having a good duo and remained in Silver constantly playing, while I had a real butthurt in Bronze. Basically I did only promos alone, other climbing I always did with duo in Bronze. So think about this as well. If you play top, find a good jungler and climb up.

I don't like duoing either, if I make it to gold it will be of my own skill level

And just an FYI, I have not been in Bronze my whole league career lmao, I have been in silver 3 as the highest I have ever been, and it was never like this in Silver lmao, could have been because it was about 4 seasons ago though.
