Climbing out of bronze impossible. May as well just boost.

Samueljlim18··1 votes·1,408 views

I understand the games season has basically come to a halt and stagnated between the end of this season and the next causing alot of skilled players to seize playing ranked at their mmr peak to get the best possible placements for next season. However climbing out of bronze has been and is literally impossible I have over 1000 ranked games in bronze and It's literally impossible to climb out my win ratio is 48%. you may as well just boost in bronze because there's no point playing in bronze. How can playing 1000 games and winning 48% of them depsite the amount of trolls, hackers, exploiters, smurfs, boosters that you vs and I'm bronze 4.

I've never been able to climb past bronze 1 and I've solo qued from bronze 5 to bronze 1 over 10 times and I do it every season. Once I hit bronze 1 Literally the skill level needed to win the game is so high it's actually beyond what's humanly possible. Or at the very least how hard you need to carry in bronze 1/2 is so much that it literally makes no sense. No one should need 500 apm and be an absolute God just to win a game in bronze it's suppose to be the worse division in the game. playing bronze in league is literally like playing diamond in tetris it's literally impossible. The only way you can get out is if you have a duo with an absolute op strategy like a twitch jg top vayne duo where the twitch ganks you on the way, and yes on the way to your lane, twice.

There's just no way any game is this hard in literally the worse rank. You can't even play yi jungle or darius because the enemy team just goes for earlier game champions and are too strong too early and if you play late game champions like heimer or kat the whole team literally just builds against you. Once every one has a ton of mr or armor or just have 100 kills from your other lanes you literally can't do anything.

There's just no point in climbing bronze. It's just not worth it. You can't win. No one can solo que out of bronze, it's literally impossible. You may as well just boost trust me I've tried season after season and even if you start winning the enemy team just starts boosting against you. So eventually your stuck in a game that's essentially harder than playing in World champion or LCS and you're in frikken bronze. And the enemy team has so much money they can throw thousands and thousands and thousands just to make it so you can't win, or they win and there's an endless amount of these players who probably have thousands of accounts that they've boosted from bronze and they keep boosting them out of bronze and selling them or keeping them for trophies. Literally playing in bronze is a dead system. You either duo out, boost out or you don't play.

Example written (These problems are going away next patch hopefully and Riot has also identified these problems and are doing everything they can so that it will not be this way next season. See 8.23 forums post by Riot)

1* Games where you're team is behind are impossible to win.

2* Top lane is too easy to camp and tower dies too easily.

3* People pick troll lanes and don't know anything about the game, can't even speak english and it's impossible to win once they die a few times. they have a 0% win ratio and they lose literally every game.

4* You don't get matched on a team with people your skill level or experience and the mmr system puts starting players too high so you constantly get harder match ups.

5* People can duo que in Solo/due que so it gives an advantage to smurfs and higher elo people or people who want to lane bully or camp. Basically if you're the only good person on the team the duo can just camp your lane.

6* bad players on your team are too debilitating. What I mean by this are people on your team who just sit there surrendering and whining in chat the whole game, or feed and start blaming other players. and they actually try and get you killed. and when you get ganked they just sit there and try and make you die. Or they follow you around jungle and try and steal your camps. And they do this for an entire hour while whining and spamming surrender beyond what's conceivable. You can't mute because they just whine to everyone else and poison your teams mind. then everyone starts arguing and writing then nobody is playing slowly lose farm objectives team fights and it's gg.

If you can't climb out of bronze, it is because you are bad, stop making excuses.

I've been bronze one time in my life, I was placed bronze 3 in season 4. I played tank rengar jungle on my first ever year of ranked and got to silver in like two weeks. You're defeating yourself with your own ideology.

That was 2014. I don't think so I think you're just spoilt by the elo system and if you tried today you would be stuck in bronze 5. Hence why you havn't played in bronze since 2014. If you're so good at the game why spend so many years running from bronze. If you're so pro at climbing in bronze why is your achievement vanished in dust by the temperament of time.

if youre stuck in bronze, its because youre terrible at the game. it has been proven countless times, that its easy to solo carry yourself out of there, if youre not actually a bronze level player.

I'll quote something I said in this thread:- https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/esports/I61QAjk1-what-are-the-main-things-that-it-takes-to-get-out-of-bronze-5

Here:-

I'm ending this season at Silver 3. I ended last two season in Silver after climbing out from Bronze 5. Even this season I started in Bronze 5. So if you want to know how to climb out of Bronze I can definitely help.

Firstly. All that high elo stuff you hear or read about, things like rotations, pressure, lane priority and all that, throw all that away. That is what you learn when you want to play League of Legends. No one is playing League of Legends in Bronze and Silver. They are playing some kind of shit where they compete to see who can feed more and who can be the biggest idiot.

That being said, the one and only thing you want to be thinking about each and every game in Bronze and in Silver is, "how do I kill everyone myself so me and my team can get objectives". That is all you should be learning how to do.

For an example I'll use myself. Last two seasons and this season, I mained Kayle out of Bronze. All I did every game was ignore my team early and mid game and try to farm up her powerspike which are these items: item 3006 item 3115 item 3124. After getting those 3 items, I start grouping with my team with one single goal, to be the reason that they win all skirmishes and team fights. Without me, those idiots are going to die and give up everything. I'd try to position myself to get off as much damage as possible and on as many people as possible, often getting double and triple kills. After killing off the enemy team, ping whatever objective makes sense, whether it's a tower, Baron, Dragon, whatever. Get it, reset. Rinse and repeat until you and your team are at the enemy Nexus. It's that easy.

So find a champion or champions you like where you can apply this strategy. It works best on high damage hyperscaling champions with a knack for killing off multiple foes in one fight. Any marksman and some mages like Azir or Cassiopeia can work. Duelists like Trynamere, Fiora, Yi, Jax, Kayle and Yasuo work best. Bruisers like Nasus and Darius can somewhat work but you have to end the game faster with them since bruisers are generally outscaled by many champions. I do not recommend champions like Zed or Fizz since they are single target champions, who excel at killing a single target quickly. You would need your team not to be idiots that still die after you go in and kill their biggest threat. Zed is pretty much spent after R+E+Q, but with Yi you can keep right clicking until everyone is dead, Jax too and he has very low cooldowns so he can use his abilities multiple times in a single skirmish. Not much Zed or Fizz can do after blowing their load on a single champion so you better hope your team can clean up after you.

One final note. This is not the only you can climb out. You can climb out on any champion in any role, even Rek'Sai but this way is the way that worked for me so if you're like a support player or a tank player maybe someone else can help you but with high damage scaling champions that can apply their damage to multiple champions fairly easily, this is pretty much how you get out of Bronze with them from my own experience.

Where do you get your facts? Did you somehow run a poll? League has even posted the stats showing that players who are boosting are higher than it's ever been in the history of league and i'm talking about multitudes higher. Let's say I get a smurf 1/10 Then I get a booster 2/10 and then a hacker 1/10 then a troll 2/10

Which is basically what Riot posted. Then technially 8/10 match ups are unfair match ups. Yes perhaps I get a smurf 1/10 but you're not taking in to account Boosters You're not taking in to account Exploiters or hackers, and you're not taking in to account trolls or feeders. It seems that a large amount of people here seem to be bias towards the fact if you can't climb out of bronze you're bad, based on the difficulty climbing out i find this to be leaning towards an inferiority complex. I find this just talk. and I doubt none of these are original accounts. Heck if people are stuck in bronze why would you want them to stay there Bronze if horrible, have you played it in 2018? Honestly it boils down to one thing. Hate what is different, hate what I don't understand. There's a ton of honest players out there who literally play way better than alot of people in higher elos and are stuck in low elo because they get stuck with trolls every game and they don't even complain, Don't you feel bad for these players? If you love the game at least have some respect for players who are actually carrying the bad people and don't complaing are stuck in low elo and are actaully alot better players than both you and I.

You're just bad. I climbed Bronze 3 to Gold 5 within 1 season by maining support. Here's how you do it: Check your stats here: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Samueljlim18 And now immediately stop playing any champ which you played >10 times and have a lower than 50% winrate on. No more Vladimir, holy shit that guy costed you SO much rating. No more Renekton. No more Kassadin. No more Lee Sin. Instead spam all the champs where you have really good winrates on and only ever touch other champions if your high winrate ones are banned/picked/you got autofilled.

Heya thanks for your valid and helpful post, I'm playing on Japan right now my igns Telcharforgegem I'm trying to basically pick carries although I'm just not strong enough for some reason once i hit 20 minutes. Problem is i main heimer and he basically got a massive nerf and now that he's unplayable I can't win anymore and I'm bad at every other champion. I mean he's not weak but the effort to solo carry games when you're whole team is losing lanes requires so much effort and micro that it's beyond my capabilities most of the time.. I will try to play him again and see if I can get any wins today

I can get your acct out in 1 week. Earlier with decent LP gains. It’s not impossible, just time consuming

You understand that when you're asking someone to boost you out of bronze... they have to play in bronze to get you out. Which means it's completely possible, not to mention extremely easy. Every single excuse you came up with, i ran into going from bronze 5 to silver 5 in a 3 day span on my account. You have to become dependent only on yourself. Who cares if they feed. Bronze players make so many mistakes a lead means nothing when they don't know how to use it. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=smoothlydone

Not really excuses just getting bad match ups if someone on your team wants you to lose it's perfectly easy to make the possible they just intentionally feed. That's why there's trolls out there with 500+ games on tk with a 0% win ratio. It's a team game and saying that you can carry everyone just shows your lack of experience. it's like starcraft playing team matches are stupidly impossible to win if you have to carry your team and your against competent players. Your stats only reflect the noobs you've been vsing. and if what I was saying wasn't true you wouldn't be stuck in silver which is worse than bronze.

Being in bronze isn't a team game. It's literally a 1v9 and you're simply failing. You might want to check whether or not I'm stuck by looking at the stat progression tab on na.op.gg. It might give you a better insight. If you let me on your account, you'd be out of bronze in a week too. Then you could stop whining like any of your points have any sort of substance.
