Getting an S but still losing

I really dislike how hard it is to climb the ladder from such low elo's. I continuously win lane and receive S grades at the end of my matches, but still lose the match because a different lane fed. I wish there was a way to get out and play with people who don't feed and who are willing to adjust around what they are doing wrong. Thats the biggest problem with bronze, the lack of communication in chat and willingness to accept that they are losing the game for everyone else. ugh stuck here forever I guess.

You can't win every game, but if you don't belong at a given mmr, you will win >50% of your matches, since theres 5 people who can feed/afk on the enemy team but only 4 on your own (assuming you always do well), so you'll slowly trend up.

Getting a lead and having good stats to produce an S grade is all well and good, but the key is being able to translate your lead into objectives and eventually victory. Plenty of people play ultra passive so even though they have a good score they don't really do anything and so ultimately lose, while others are constantly going ham trying to hard carry (since they feel they 'have' to) and feed as a result, so the key is striking a balance where you know how aggressive you can be and get things done while still maintaining a good score.

edit: Also, getting the occasional S doesn't mean much if it's 1 S grade after a series of C games. I glanced at your match history and you have a whole lot of games where you personally did quite poorly. Consistency is key.

Getting an S and losing is like winning MVP, but losing the Super Bowl.... too soon?

Then you should tell your jg to focus on other lanes if your performance is always s tier

In every rank people feed. If someone wins someone has to lose, I've never had complete 20 mins game with 0/0/0 stats.
