I cant seem to climb the ranked ladder and i dont uderstand why. I play mainly ADC but i will go top or mid as a secondary. I play mostly jinx ezreal and vayne as adc, gnar garen and graves as top, and veigar lux and ezreal(ap) mid. I have an average of 65 to 85 cs at ten minutes and spend 30min to an hour against 2-3 (mostly 2cause thats what i face in game) imtermediate bots dodging skill shots on aram before i start playing games. I just dont understand why i cant seem to climb the ranked ladder. Whats the difference between and a gold player or a diamond player besides the fact that they made it out of bronze and me. What do i need to do to climb cause i know i cant just keep blaming my team mates and praying for wins

For starters, 6-7 death average in Bronze MMR is completely absurd for an ADC in that elo.

If you had any actual game knowledge, I'm pretty sure you can reduce your death average down to 4-5.

If you got really good in a certain amount of time, you can reduce it to 3 throughout Bronze - Gold

How often do you die in team fights? do you capitalize on 2 v 1 situations when presented? How aware are you to whats going on, and the positioning of the enemy + you? ( you're an adc, your job is to stay alive and away from danger )

If you're the last one standing in team fights, always. Then it's probably a DPS issue. Or you're just simply running away for the sake of staying alive, when you forgot your job was the deal damage as well.

It could be a lot of things, especially since you're Bronze, fundamentals probably aren't even completely set yet.

So your laning is most likely lack luster and very passive, rarely ever punishing the enemies positioning mistakes.

If you had all this knowledge, imagine how much power you have over the people in your elo, the majority who doesn't know why they're getting punished so hard. But you know, therefore you'll prevail.

If you add me I can help you look over your games

but if I notice you're taking it all for granted, I'll probably just drop everything and assume you're not worth the effort.

You can't climb because you're MMR is factored in, and the game now thinks you belong exactly where you are right now. I know it's rough to swallow, but that's the reality of it. Keep track of your games and ask yourself if there was something more you could do, or if the game was truly out of your control. Despite what the trolls might tell you, if you're skill level isn't high, you're not going to carry a whole game by yourself at Bronze elo.

Most Bronze games dwindle down to a total lack of teamwork and understanding of game mechanics. If you know you're a solid Bronze level player, and you're doing the best you can, but your team doesn't pull through, you're not going to win. Sometimes a loss is just a loss. Bronze probably has the most leeway as far as skill goes. Some people are REALLY bad at the game, and you'll get stuck with them from time to time.

I main Jhin, and due to his complete and total lack of mobility early to mid-game, there are situations where I know I just can't do anything. I don't blame myself, it's just the result of picking a champion that can't escape x-champion's dive, and I knew the risks when I picked Jhin. He's an easy gank. It doesn't bother me when this happens. Sometimes you've just got to go all in, try to help your team, and hope you don't get targeted and slaughtered before you can have any real effect on the game.

─ If someone feeds 10+ kills in the first 15 minutes, and you only had a couple of kills and good cs, and that fed mofo destroys your team, that's not necessarily your fault. (This probably wouldn't have happened in a higher Elo.)

─ If someone afks or quits, that's obviously not your fault.

─ If at 40-minutes your team can't agree on what to do, and you lose the game because you decided to "follow the leader" and stay grouped, even though you knew it was a bad decision in the first place, that's probably not your fault. But kudos for your teamwork.

A Bronze-level player isn't going to be able to recover a game on his own. That's just the reality of it. There's a reason in the higher elos you don't see games where people are going 10, 15, 20 kills per game. People don't do stupid crap and they take calculated risks rather than pushing buttons and praying something works.

So, when is a loss YOUR fault? If you didn't feed, held your lane, got your CS, and worked in team fights, the other team simply had more skill, and your own skill wasn't enough to equalize and balance the situation. As a whole, the other team's skill outranked your own team's skill. So, improve your own skills, and play champs that can pull off insane plays solo. Fizz for instance.

Honestly man the only thing you can do is work on your own game don't chase kills try to watch your sides. Honestly i hate the ranking system i got dumped in b4 i climbed to b2 almost got into b1 and then i get the shit teams from hell for 8 games others have brought that it seems when you start getting a win streak it seems to kick you in the face( i can confirm this as i was at a 74% winrate on shyvanna now 66%) and my mmr was at 1046 and climbing now i am sure it's not that waiting for it to update.

In bronze i am telling you it's the worst i have been trying to climb i am a good jungler not the greatest but i think i do rather well i work on my mistakes but when you lane laners that feed stupidly for 8 games and/or go afk and just rant instead of playing the game you can't really win these and as a jungle i try to help and gank when it's right and there is nothing you can do when they are 0-10 you ganked them to keep them from falling behind but they keep rushing the lane and getting killed this is painful.

I wish you the best in your climb as i am going through it as well but i will say if you play your best it's all you can do.

The way I see it, silver are starting to learn how things work. Golds generally have an understanding of the basics of how to properly lane/teamfight/take objectives. Plat+ are just improvements on the finer aspects of the game.
