Bronze Games are getting out of hand

Primaquarius·Apr 29, 2017·2 votes·722 views

Forget any myth you might have heard about Bronze tier being "oh so easy to climb through" or "Its a cakewalk, got through it in 5 hours". This is not what i experience whatsoever. What i go through is what happens in every single rank tier this game has to offer: AFK allies, beefy enemy teams, and a lack of any coordination. This includes all the games I had at the time of this posting, and those 3 things are the sole reason my winrate is tanking. The fire is simply gone for the climb experience, because it doesnt exist for select players.

Please stop thinking Bronze is easy, it is literally a mirror of Diamond 1 with less mechanical talent.

You don't have that many games played, so I wouldn't stress too much. Also, support is a hard role to climb in. I couldn't climb out of bronze from top lane for your same reasons, but when I switched to jungle I got a 90% win rate and climbed out of bronze very quickly

Last 3 seasons you were bronze. You are a professional bronze player. You have the mechanics of a Bronze player. You want to get out of Bronze? You need to carry yourself out and learn the mechanics. You will not learn how to pvp properly in the jungle or playing support. Top/Mid/Adc is where you learn your mechanics. CS/Trading/Wave Control/ Dueling/ All-ins/ Rotating are the things you learn from Solo lane/ Carry positions. When you are the sole target of the enemy team you need to learn to survive to win games and you need to be the sole reason your team is winning the game.

Well the problem, is now everyone has two different ranks, solo and flex, so ppl are more inclined to not give a fuck, cuz oh its fine ive got another rank i can raise haha

Im b2 in flex, but pro streamers say Flex Q is meaningless towards your measure of talent

Im in agreement, but i can Q up in flex by myself, so technically its still solo in my opinion, not that i play it at all of course, i was just curious to see if it would let me

People in general say that because you can get someone higher than you to queue with you and boost you up.

Bronze is easy if you're better than bronze. Bronze players make a lot of micro mistakes in lane and macro play is almost non-existent. What you need to do is exploit those weaknesses. The lack of any coordination that you talk about is a boon if you are knowledgeable enough to exploit the enemy when they do it. Focus on the mistakes you see and exploit the enemy when they make them.

This is why anytime a streamer does a bronze to diamond/challenger stream they NEVER get stuck in bronze. It is also how boosters make their money. If you could get stuck, boosters wouldn't be able to pick up any random account and climb.

Yeah this is true and especially w/ the macro I've been trying to take advantage of this, Im a jungler. Example tho: Game I just played, around 15 minutes both midlaners were down botlane and so was the enemy jg, so i took the opportunity to clear out the mid wave and get mid as the first turret.

Micro mistakes I can take advantage of include laners pushing their lane too hard and opening themselves up for a gank, and general missed skill shots etc.
