Finals just got done and video games can be played a lot more often. My games are usually winning streaks or losing streaks. I have over a 100 games and currently in bronze 2. Losing streak right now, every game loss was because team decides to throw or not communicate.
This is not my week for League.
It is common for people to hit their skill cap and get stuck. If you feel like you hit a wall, its because you're no longer good enough to advance. Focus on bettering yourself so you can impact the game more the next time around. You'll never see your teammates again, so their mistakes don't matter. Remember that if you see your team making mistakes, the enemy has the same tier players. They're making mistakes too. Find the mistakes and exploit it.
Welcome to RNG simulator 2017. Your experiences here will be mostly futile and tied to matchmaking luck, patience and lemons.
I suggest you pick two champions that cover two roles well and just play them, every game, everywhere, anywhere. Being really good at a champion is far more important than any sort of meta in bronze.
Inevitably there will be bad games, but this gives you a good chance to be able to carry, or at least push your team forward to victory if you get a fairly fair match.
Another important point is sometimes you have to pull your team backwards to victory. The defending team has a huge advantage in fights: they have safe places to retreat to, behind turrets and walls, they have cover to poke from behind, help clearing waves, and a shorter trip to and from the fountain. Low-elo teams wont freeze lanes to farm and starve you, so you will actually often outfarm the attacking team as well, this can give you a chance to catch up or reach peak power for late-game champs.
just get a blue trinket so you can steal dat baron.
it's easier to climb when the servers arent lagging and if you're playing with people who have similar strategies as you. i recommend playing on sundays and thursdays. you dont have to worry about those dumb mini-patches that interfere with data load and playing with people who've not updated their client yet. the people who party saturday nights by getting wasted will have slept in and thursdays they're too tired to play since they're saving their energy for friday afternoon. other than that the only way to limit frustrations is to do extremely unrealistically well so that your team will always have hope.
If you cant get out of bronze in 10 games per division tops then you belong in bronze
It depends on your approach to the game.
If you're actively trying to improve, watching educational twitch vods, free coaching, playing the right champs, and you're still in bronze. There is a problem somewhere.
Playing the game for purely fun is fine, nothing wrong with that.
You really got to ask yourself, are you really trying to get out of bronze? You aren't.
It is not your teammates dude. It is you.
You have 224 games played. Your most played champion is at 23 games. You've played 37 different champions. Your last 10 games, has 9 different champions.
If you really wanted to get out of bronze, then just play soraka every game and always queue up as the same 2 roles. Here is your OP.GG https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Captain+BubbleT
It is obvious that your soraka would work, but you don't play her. Just play soraka. The team comp doesn't matter. Delay your sightstone. Rush redemption. Your yellow trinket is enough early. Warding the enemy jungle doesn't really matter in your elo.
Find 2 champions in 2 roles. Don't play anything else.
I'd suggest learning annie mid. I did that, and she taught me alot about league.
What are your LP gains and losses? I feel like this is a very important question before even discussing climbs.
The more you play, the more Riot tries to put your WR at 50%. It isn't like you are just playing vs Bronze 2s, you are playing vs people who are your "skill" to get that 50%. The system is designed to make you play many games on purpose.
I won't say 200 is a normal number. But don't feel bad if it takes a long time. Someone else just posted it took a good 150 games to go from Silver5 to Gold5 despite being gold previously.
Report shitheads and focus on your own play.
Real talk, if you rock your role 90% of the time then you will steadily move up.
It took me some 1200 games last season before I escaped Bronze. Started Bronze 5 this season and I have already played 1000 ranked games this season and I'm still not close to getting out yet. So to answer your question, yes it is common to have lots of game in a tier.
I had an 8-game win streak snapped after a huge early game lead because our "ADC Wukong" would not group and the enemy team was always grouped. It would have been fine if he was able to pressure towers, but he wasn't.
That plus a few stupid calls, like we have middle inhib down on their base and they are dealing with supers, but everyone wants to "just push it down mid!" when we could have taken other lanes and actually cracked more inhibs to put MORE pressure on them.
