Hey guys, So I'm about to start ranked soon and I am considering what I should do if I get into bronze. I know people say if you are really good enough you will climb out of bronze but people often complain that bronze is trash waste of time troll u don't get anything out of it etc. like there's 4 v 5 unnecessary running in. I heard even players better than bronze are held back and that plats and diamonds say it's easy to carry out. My normal mmr is around silver and i know how to win a lot of mid lane champs with my mains. Btw my main is mid. I get a decent kda know how to carry with the mid assassin and am getting more and more objective focused. So with the background and my personal play style I gave out, can someone give me a truthful evaluation of how hard it is to carry out of bronze? It would be even better if someone also told me how hard it would be to carry out of bronze as a player personally for me with my play style background I gave out. Thanks!

Well, my MMR was gold up until placements started. I can honestly say, people who say it's hard to get out of bronze - they're right. Sure, I manage to do well most games, I main jungle/top. But, the thing is - a majority of the players don't take the league serious and you'll be lucky if you find a manageable team without an afk or a troll. I've completely given up any hope of crawling my way out of it due to that.

But as for your question - Bronze summed up is - TEAM KILL NOW PUSH THE TURRETS That's how you win in bronze. Get an ace then push, fall back - repeat. It's a bit of a ridiculous cycle, and if you're unfortunate enough like me to be a solo player.... It's impossible to work together. You want to split push? The team will walk into a 4v5 without you. Happens every time.

Bronze IS and always will be... The League's Lowest Level Of Hell.

Most bronze players are terrible in lane. Win your lane every game and you will win a majority of games. Win a majority of games and you will get out of bronze. It's that simple.

getting out of bronze is really easy as long as you're not TERRIBLE at the game. like, you might get bad teams, but you're going to get enemies that are equally as bad, so if you don't deserve bronze then you'll be wrecking them every game. if you really are at a silver MMR in normals i think you'll be fine.

Last season it was really easy.

I racked up 15 kills each game I went mid without a problem. 80% winrate or something along the lines of that.

Bronze and silver in its natural state, is a complete shit fest where all logic is thrown out the window.

If you have a brain and fingers, you will win most of the time considering on how far your skill goes.

Skill is split into knowledge and mechanical skill. Knowledge being everything from other champion abilities to cooldowns and objective taking.

Mechanical skill is your own ability to play your champion to its potential. Many champions have a low skill floor ( easy to pick up, hard to master ) and a very high skill ceiling. In bronze both are complete are shit. Some people don't know what other abilities do, or how to play against a certain champion. Some people can't even use their skills correctly and basic movement abilities are unrecognizable.

Every once in a while though, you'll get some players who are also trying to actually win and doing fairly well, but most of the time people in bronze are ignorant, rude, and downright unwilling to learn and get better at the game and instead like to say, "omg, xxx is so op, nerf pls".

Regarding the carrying aspect, if you play a champ well enough to a point where you mechanical skill is a lot higher ( you'll know how high your mechanical skill based on winning your lane ), your mechanical skill can easily carry you to plat. Granted mechanical skill is a lot harder to gain and increase compared to game knowledge, but even so play a champion well enough to the point where you dominate easy matchups and go even in difficult matchups, put that together with basic game knowledge and you're on your way out of bronze.

Carry Bronze is easy, carrying silver is harder because the people there are 3x more stupid. This is not a troll post either.

For bronze, get kills and push turrets. Or yes objectives. People want to always complete an item before they group or want to get this before pushing. Make sure that you take full advantage of every time you kill your laner. Don't be afraid to roam. Your lane may be mid, but bot will appreciate if you get them a double kill plus the turret. Just make sure to keep pressure. If you are behind, build some resistance and don't flame. Literally that is key to getting out of bronze.
