Why bronze is bronze

Cowseed··6 votes·334 views

I recently failed my promos (again) and I'm noticed something quite discouraging that the team continuously does. Everyone chases fucking kills like this is Call of Duty. Our kled would frequently (I mean 8/10 times) just jump into the enemy team 1v5 with at most 3 teamates around. I got the dude fed in the early game and he wasted his fucking lead continuously fighting the Nasus and somehow letting the dude reach legendary. Then we have our lux that over shadows my flipping baron call asking for assistance, for what, a possibility of getting two extra kills. That's just 600G against the 1500 we'd all get from baron PLUS, gasp the baron buff! Those three balls floating around you are worth almost the same as a legendary item giving the spit pushing power and whatnot and the fact it does give you gold.

Then we have the twich. The god damn adc. Responsible for objective seiging running off down mid for a teamfight while I'm sitting at drag pit about the bite the screen off my laptop. Seriously. FFS STOP CHASING KILLS FOR NO REASON!! This is gonna sound immodest but if you continue to chase kills like the seed of chucky you are a bad player. It sounds like I have my head up my ass because I'm in bronze but that is the damn difference between the games where my team stomped and the games my team threw. The games where my team stomped to the point I felt sorry for them.

I was once like this.... but then I started thinking abit. I'm not playing halo or smash so if I have to give up a pentakill for 3 towers then fuck the pentakill. Winning is more important that 'looking' good. Not really worried about climing with teams like this though. If I continue to personally do well then I will probably leave the same match pool as people like this. This post is more for you though. Please don't throw away an easy win for a small loan of 300G. The gold will be gone when the match ends, but the change in your LP will still remain.

I'm not really into the 'spam x champion' strategy cause I want to get good at the champions i like. Plus I'm very reluctant because of a bad Fiora game I had when I was spamming her.

But apparently 7/10 games I have to carry when I jungle so I may have to switch to Diana or use as you said.

Bronze is full of garbage yi. Yi is the biggest offenders of chasing in Bronze.

The best thing about leaving bronze is never seeing Yi again.

every team fight you win spam assist/ping the turrets or drakes any objectives or take the enemy jgl farm red/blue buffs

You have to spam pings for them to listen and also use master yi like takazaki said

I did this exact same thing that game. Spammed baron, spammed elder etc. The twitch was for some reasom pushing bot when I was their spamming the drake. Wouldn't take him 5 seconds to get to the pit.

To put the game into perspective we got the first two drakes (well more like I got them) and both barons that came up and when they release rift herald mid we already had gotten bot and top towers. We had gotten them to 1 inhib. Putting it mildly I was pissed af. I did make a few mistakes, mind you, but some better decisions could have been made.

Bad luck then

Silver's not much better. They just listen to each other slightly more often.

It's one of the reasons I stopped supporting. Teammates chasing kills lost me a good third of my games last season.

Bronze is Bronze because they have no idea the minimap exists and refuse to ward.

Bronze is Bronze because of the memeifcation of "Bronze is bad" so now nobody actually expects Bronze to play well, not even Bronze players.
