Secret to bronze, i think i got it

Sometimes you have to sit back and try and see WHY you are failing. For me it was fustrating because i knew my top/mid lane pantheon was legit... at LEAST for bronze. Kinda hard to really get any better at top in bronze, i win every matchup and you can only really learn from losing. (this account has been banned and i was in a shitt troll mood lots of these gameswhere i just raged and didnt play. Yes im an asshole, but I have been trying to change my negative ways) I would make posts for help and was even sending diamond players my vids to correct small mistakes, and form good habbits. I watched a lot of pro vids all that. I was doing all the right things as a top laner like destryoing opponet, pushing waves THEN ganking, not dying, warding, CS CS CS, not taking extra damage by minions, and NOT Raging. I realized that my problem wasnt being bad at top.. it was my 0 percent win rate as support/games with afks. Even though i feel like i am a good support maokai (because hes my other main) i was losing literally 90% percent as support maok. Kinda fustrating because i know maokai's limits so when i dive and land a good stun no one follows up and im left like fml. Ive been plying a lot of lux and my supp win rate at least in normals has gone up a lot. I mean instead of being 2/2/6 maok im now 6/2/25 as lux. I can roam more, and if you build almost full ap she can be annoying as fuck.

SO this is how my tilt would start. I would win 7 in a row as top panth, get promoted. Then auto fill puts me as support, and i lose that game. Then bad luck gives me an afk and i lose the next game. Thats 2 losses. The next game i get panth and win. The next game i get support again and lose. Now im pretty much one loss from demotion. By this point im pretty stressed out and get demoted shortly after this. THIS is where the tilt gets outa control. I play the next 5 games not giving a flying fuck and just making everyone elses time miserable. IM pretty excited to finish my new account and try ranked again. Since its normals, i have been trying out my counters to panth or champs that i dont really understand. My lux support is getting better and im actually having fun doing it.

SO if you are like me and getting a lot of "get good and carry" advice but its still not working.. this COULD be your answer. Play an ap support and just build ap items like fuckk it. New players will feel a lot better going all in when 4 players from other team all of a sudden have 20 hp, from lux's ult.. Just saying. Wish me luck on my new account! Thanks for reading

just remember the actual point of the game is to have fun and enjoy it.

here is a though about rank...

rank isnt something to be ashamed of. i feel rank is just a way for riot to put players of similar skill levels vs each other so they can have fair games and enjoy and have fun playing the game... hear me out...

you are bronze.. what if every game you matched vs plats and diamonds? and you get stomped up and down the map and the game is no fun to you.. are you likely to keep playing if that is what happens every time?

on the other hand if your plat/diamond whatever "high" elo if you playing vs people lower skill level then you is that fun not every being challenged? it would be like if you were to go play a game co op vs bots or a custom game vs bots and the difficult is set on easy?

how fun is that?

so in theory rank is there to put us vs people we have a chance to win against while being challenged so the game is fun and rewarding at the same time and keeps you playing..
