Hey, Before i start my question i'd like to explain a little about myself (i will mark where it ends for any uninterested in my background,) I have been playing league for a little over a two years, and i usually play support, sometimes mid when the moons align. I started a few seasons ago and needless to say i got placed in bronze, i was a little surprised back then, thinking i'd deserve Silver,but i got over that quickly, thinking positively and wanting to improve.

I started reading guides, asking advice from high ranked players (Master, diamond and someone who's even been challenger) online, i've watched pro streams, i've always been open to criticism and i always try to improve, and i really see that i do. But the one thing that's been the same over those years is the fact that i am hardstuck in BRONZE. People kept saying "you deserve bronze if you're in it", and i am not sure whether i'm just unlucky or just "bad".

summoner 1 START HERE IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE ABOVE summoner 1

Now my question is, how do i actually start climbing as a support main? I've done the "focus on winning, not your lp" guide but honestly, i am at a loss here. I always have a vision score that is 20-30 higher than the minutes played at 20-30 minutes , i barely ever take risks, i hit most my skillshots , and i am very, VERY friendly and positive towards my teammates, often greeting them and trying to keep a positive atmosphere, always. I roam if needed and deepward as well

If a lane is under alot of pressure, i signal our jungler to help it,and if it's mid, i often clear it of wards every now and then or help them pick a kill.

I ward objectives and river, usually buffs as well if i notice the enemy jungler coming near our jungle alot

In draft pick i often get placed with and against silver-platinum players, as well as golds in ranked,however, no matter what or how good i seem to do, there's always something that goes wrong that i have either no control over or don't know how to help. Should i just give up playing ranked as a supp main? I mean, i might not be challenger level... and even though i know everyone says this, but bronze is the lowest of the lowest, and i really don't feel like i am THAT bad after 2 years...

Play Ardent Censor supports along with a hyper carry until it gets nerfed. Then start playing supports with pulls such as Blitzcrank and Thresh.

Duo with a decent ADC.

If you are solo queuing don't build support items besides sightstone. In this case you have to be the carry because bronze players are really bad. Pick a mage support (or Sona) and bully your lane. You still want to get a gold gen item and let your ADC take the farm. Roam and kill other lanes. Build lots of AP. Rotate to get minion waves that your team misses because they're bronze. Ping when its time to do objectives, but don't try to force the issue. Split push to cause pressure but don't die to ganks.

Once you get to high silver or gold maybe, then full support builds with redemption and stuff are worth it.
