League Is Pissing Me Off Right Now

HerPantsAreOff··1 votes·1,029 views

So I have been playing for 2 years now and I am in bronze. When I got placed into b5, i won a lot in a row and made it to b4 no prob, and I was like ok cool i'm going to climb this season. Ever since then I haven't been able to get over a 50% win rate because my team feeds or I have a DC or my team just doesn't have a composition that allows for a win. Usually I try to play as safe as possible and hope I carry in the late game. But eventually other lanes feed enough where i cant really do anything. I honestly believe that I can play successfully at a silver, gold 5-4 elo. But in-order to get there I will have to climb through bronze, and I honestly do not think that a silver or gold player can solo carry their way out of bronze. I would say a plat diamond player would have trouble in bronze the way it is now. So I do have another account do I just give up on this one and try to do well on that one? I really want to get this account to silver because it has my skins and everything else. I play signed top, mid-lane, or support in ranked. And have about a 49% win rate on all of em. So i'm just really tiled right now and looking for some insight or something. I have been playing solo should i find a good duo partner? last season I had higher win rate without partner but IDK. Or should I just one trick and eventually ill get good enough to solo carry. WHAT DO HIGHER ELO PLAYERS RECOMMEND? HELP ME! thank you.

the funny thing with league players, they reach a plateau once and they think that's where they belong. it doesn't occur to them that they got lucky/carried to wherever they ended up.

It's "i made it to x once, that's where i belong!!!"

Look. There is only one person to blame for that and that is you. The reason why you are still in Bronze 5 is definetely not that your teammates are bad, it's simply that you don't improve. Try to change your mentality, whenever something goes wrong it's entirely your fault. Your teammate baits you into a bad fight? Your fault, you didn't need to go in. Your midlane feeds? Why didn't you gank. You lost your lane? Your fault, don't blame your jungler.

But in-order to get there I will have to climb through bronze, and I honestly do not think that a silver or gold player can solo carry their way out of bronze. I would say a plat diamond player would have trouble in bronze the way it is now.

100% untrue. Low silver may struggle in Bronze, but high silver would stomp through low Bronze, even more true with gold. Every gold player would absolutely dominate his lane - and if you are better than the average [insert your position] then you will win more than 50% of your games.

Yeah, one-trick Singed (or whatever you want). Don't play too many different champions, it will negatively impact your macro play. Watch some streams and pay attention to their decisionmaking (when do they roam, when do they proxy, how do they deal with jungle pressure). I'd suggest you play Singed only on toplane and play Janna support. That way you can improve your macro play without being distracted too much by mechanics. Again, act like everything is your fault, that's the only way you can improve.

Thank You for the response. If silver and gold players can solo carry their way out of bronze then I will have to improve. I guess I can one trick for each lane. Signed top, ryze mid, I have never played janna I usually naut or brand support. Thanks your response has re-motivated me!

Take a break. This is my fourth year and I've been feeling a bit meh about LOL, so I've been playing less until it passes.
