you will lose some no matter what, even a Challenger will lose in iron at some point of playing

the deal here is you will carry a lot of games if you are higher in a skill, for example a Challenger will have a 95% winrate in iron , he still have 5% loses in that.

look at tarzaned and swifte, they lost 0 games yet in low dia/plat elo, let alone in silver or lower... 16-0 in unranked to challenger, 0 defeats

This is literally every bronze/silver player on this board

Anyone can carry through bronze if they get a competent team, as mentioned it is no longer a solo carry game anymore. By no means am I saying it is easy, but it can be done with a little skill and a whole lot of luck. Best advice get good with Riven/Master YI/Irelia or a champ of that nature most bronze players do not know how to deal with these champs.

Eh, LoL is a lot of people stroking their egos, on mobalytics discord I said my last two weren't winnable because despite it looking like we were going to win one, my team 4 man surrendered. In the other I got an S but two allies left.

The responses:

What did you do to make them surrender, every game is winnable. I said I said nothing, they said well I did something wrong to make my team surrender and it's my fault.
What did you say to make them leave? After I said nothing, they said well it's my fault because they won a 2v5 in silver so it was still winnable.

That's when I left the discord. The reality is, you can get a lot better and stomp at lower Elo once you do, but the first step is to stop following the advice of people ego tripping. Analyze your own play, it's not super hard, and keep filling the gaps. Research items, builds etc. and figure out why, try to find out what's better, maybe something works better based on how those at your elo play (usually there's always something).

In short, not every game is winnable, but ego tripping "I have 50 smurfs" will try to claim otherwise. Best advice, ignore them and learn on your own. As long as you can spot your own mistakes, you can keep filling those gaps. I think it's rare, or you have to get very high before you may ever potentially need tips. That said, the reality is every game is definitely not winnable.
