Making '50/50' games puts too much weight on personal skill.

I have been playing some Bot, and doing very well. But despite this I am still losing quite often. My experience seems different than everyone elses, as in the better I play the harder Riot makes it for me to win. Yet when I check other peoples history, they win most every game in which they have a good output. Overall in Feburaury I have a kda of 5.75 as bot yet only a 43% win rate. Also my game times are absurdly long, because usually the backline is just holding the fort delaying the inevitable... match after match. It's not like I am in diamond, consistently playing very well in bronze shouldn't be so unrewarding. In a typical game my team does random stuff and dies a lot while I am busting my tail to keep us in it, while staying positive.

I can rarely play with other good/normal players in Bronze. This is basically just a rant.

Look to take objectives and strangle the opposing team of vision. If you're playing an adc and are winning your lane rotate to take towers. This is the fastest method to speed up games and will prevent less random things to occur as your team will have a goal in mind once a few towers go down.

True but impossible to do when my team is no threat anywhere, and the other team has fed champs roaming.

Sad to say this but, you're not carrying hard enough then. Bronze is easy to carry out of. If you don't belong in bronze more games than not you're going to win. Youre not going to always have the worst players

I guess so, which means I will have to play like a diamond to get out of bronze. Too bad I am not quite diamond quality.

Seems like you keep a good kda and cs score so just keep doing that and try to pick hypercarry champions so even if your team gets pooped on you can carry them.

Exactly. Get good at champs like vayne or tristana

"The Meta" is really the problem with bot lane. A lot of players tilt after the other player makes a mistake or expects you to do something and you don't. It's by far the largest gamble on the map.

The new draft atleast solves "I don't want to be support." syndrome.

But as long as random players are forced to lane with another player, there will be discontent.

Supports, unlike other laners, almost entirely (in low bronze) dont know how to adapt to being countered (be patient, play safer). This is mostly because bot laners can just blame each other. While top lane, a Malphite against Vlad has no one to blame and can easily realize his difficult position.
