I finally know what it is like to be in bronze.

When I heard ranked was ending soon, I thought I should try to climb from Bronze 2 up to silver 5 to get the loading screen thing. For a start, I used to NEVER play ranked because I would always get too nervous that I was going to lose. Well now I have started, I know why they call it "Elo Hell." The coordination in teams is awful, as everyone thinks that they need to carry. Because of this, I'm almost always stuck playing a tank Jungler (Amumu or Sion in most cases.) This means that if I ever want to carry, it is extremely hard.

Also, the main carries (Midlane and ADC) will not be at all carrying, unless the ADC on our team is Lucian or Vayne (which is never) My midlaners are usually ok, but I get a lot of troll picks. For example, last game I got a full AP Kayle mid. She did ok, but definitely not carrying.

Toplaners, who are always bruisers or ranged (never tank), usually are the carries, although map awareness is 0 and toxicity levels are 200. It's always mid lanes fault for not pinging jungle mia (yes someone said that) and they don't need wards because they have flash.

Supports are ok, but thanks to a certain Gorilla, I keep getting Miss Fortunes.

Junglers. If I'm not Jungling then our junglers are usually the people who I believe have the potential to climb. They are usually good gankers but tend to go for kills over objectives and go for dragons over barons.

So at the end of all this, with some of the best and worst teams I have ever played with, I demoted to bronze 3, and have lost 2 of my promotion series.

The question I want to ask is how do I carry when I almost always have to play a Tank?

tl;dr how do you carry as a tank

Just play Skarner in the jungle. Start Talisman, rush warrior or Trinity Force. Get both. Get Dead Man's next and just roll over people.

You'll carry in bronze easily. Just focus on farming and killing people you have access to.

If you have a hard time getting to people, item 3800
