bronze IS elo hell

Because riot doesn't 1)give LP to who deserves them 2)doesn't provide players with tools needed to carry trolls Basically in bronze, every player is a troll whether they want it or not. -If you're top, you can be sure jungler will come inting your lane and the ennemy jungler. Bot will also feed. -If you're jungler, they will ALWAYS make sure to die just before you gank. You will ping, you will tell them to play safe, but they won't. They will never follow, because they're too happy that someone keeps their laner busy so they can kill a few minions (at last!) Of course, the ennemy jungler will be 10/0, always camping you when you try to farm. -If you're mid, you can be sure you'll get perma camped 1v2, v3, v4.... While your jungler is afk and other lanes feed hard. -If you're adc, your support will suicide under tower at lvl1 and blame you for being noob. You will control lane like a god, pushing and pulling at the perfect moment, so the jungler only has to walk on lane to get a double kill. Buuuut.... He won't. Because you pinged "help" and he's offended you might dare to suggest anything to this great strategic mind. Of course the ennemy jungler will be 10/0 and gank every single time your lane pushes. -If you're support, pretty much the same above except your adc can't last hit, will never try to poke and will watch you die for the same reason they don't follow : "omg I can hit minions safely for a few seconds" Of course, the ennemies are easy. You outplay them without effort, you dodge everything they throw at you. But what is the point when that 25/0 rengar only has to press R to one shoot you from the other side of the map? Of course, you predict their every move, you know exactly what to do. But what is the point knowing they're gonna baron, even before they even thought about it, when team score is 50-5? Yes, you would win the game if all your team simply right clicked bot... Except that blue buff was so appealing to them, they all gathered there. Yes, all 4 of them. The problem isn't that ennemies are better than you, it's not that you don't have enough knowledge of the game... It's the guys you're playing with are unpredictable. The only way to get out of bronze, is to think like a bronze. To take absurd decisions, to expect irrational outcomes. Basically, to DUMB DOWN. Which is, literally, a stupid thing.

The boards don't care about anyone who has complaint about bronze-silver matchmaking, sorry your valid complaints just fall in to a big hole here. They'll just tell you that you don't deserve to climb if you can't 1v9. I've heard the same bullshit for forever man. Just keep your head up man.

Idk why people are treating this as a troll post you seem to know and point out what is wrong with each role except mid. thing is is see these same things in silver and gold games (with silvers in them) and in may of the high elo steams and videos i watch. Barring crying about feeding, people cry about that far too much when catch up gold is broken and while getting that catch up gold if you are smart and play together you can collect a bounty and come out ahead.

i said million times, elo hell exists. for some people that+s bronze, for some people that's diamond, it depends. if your skill level is diamond and you're stuck in plat you're in ELO HELL. if your skill level is let's say plat and you're stuck in gold then you're in ELO HELL.

of course if a diamond smurf comes to bronze that he'll carry alone but that same diamond player if he goes to plat he WON'T carry alone, he'll probably fail most of the game and he'll be in elo hell... so... yeah. for some challenger and master players high diamond is elo hell.

ELO HELL DOES EXIST AND WHO EVER SAY THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE OR SHE IS TALKING ABOUT.

Everybody has their own Elo hell. While I can relate, it shows that you can get better, right? If your teammates aren’t gonna win you the game, then it’s up to you; and that’s where the greater triumph is :)

If that doesn’t work, then fuck me I tried.

I started playing on the Singapore server since I get close to 200 ping on EuW and around 50 there.

After I got bronze II (climbed a very old account from Iron IV), I found myself constantly being matched with under 20% winrate players on my team and multiple of them. These people played like sub 20% wr players, wouldn't go two minutes without dying, would have no map pressure, and would never use their CC in teamfights. All this while being matched against players from two divisions above.

I currently sit at a 60% winrate on that server but cannot justify playing this game. I can no doubt climb well past gold with the 4.32 kda I have while still prioritizing objectives over kills, but it isn't worth the effort.

I do NOT want freeloaders riding my winrate to their way to high elo.

Master carrying Silvers in a legit 4v5:- https://youtu.be/-6CsUKTOeoc?t=875

Stop crying. Anyone with enough skill can hard carry Bronze games easy as fuck regardless of trolls, afks whatever. I don't have that skill myself but I know for a fact it is possible and I'm not stuck in Silver because of trolls and feeders. It's because I'm not good enough to carry all the time.

and silver and above is ego hell......

Is it? I managed to carry myself from Bronze II to Silver IV as a support, while boosting my MMR to the point where I get 35 LP per win.

There's a big difference of :

  • Trolling and
  • Being Clueless

My little cousin is 10 years old and he's bronze 4. We speak mainly french here in Montreal. He mains Yasuo and once rushed a warmog armor and mobility boots on him BECAUSE it once worked wonder on a game for him.

You don't expect a french kid to read and understand english text and knowing exactly what he does. If he has something in mind, it just won't bug off.

That's being clueless.

A troll on the other side is ''KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WRONG, BUT YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE TO ANNOY YOUR ALLIES''.

Got out of there from b3 to s4 in two days. Bronze is not elo hell because its just too easy to carry in

This is the peak in delusional low elo mentality lol.

Feirisu NyanNyan5/30/2019, 9:23:26 AM2 votes

Agreed. Only solution is to keep calm and hope opponent team gets worse trolls.

DwightSchrute965/31/2019, 11:22:51 AM2 votes

Bud the problem is your attitude, clearly. Reading the comments, all i see is people trying to give you tips on how to improve and climb and you just talk trash back at them. Youre determined its your teams fault and not yours and thats why you dont climb. Frankly with that attitude and mindset, i dont think you deserve to go to a higher elo. Wouldnt surprise me at all if youre one of those players that wants to report a newbie for playing badly.

Idk, I've done just fine. The last push through promos can be a challenge, sure, but it's really not that hard.

Pick a champion you're good at and just keep playing them. Focus less on the meta and on counters, and get less upset at trolls and whatnot. Play a champion decent for your comp every game and play to win every game no matter what happens and you'll get out eventually.
